About Renate

Renate, long known as Salon zur Wilden Renate, is a club in an old unrenovated apartment house at Alt-Stralau 70 in Friedrichshain, near the Elsenbrücke. It began in 2007, when a group of open-air party makers looking for storage space found the empty building and slowly turned its flats into a club, with rooms such as the Green, Red and Black floors, plus a large garden. Weekend Klubnacht parties start around midnight and often run into the next afternoon, with techno, house and a wide range of dance music from local DJs and crews. After a long fight over its lease, the club signed a new ten-year contract in December 2025, set up a new operating company, renovated the Green floor with a new sound system and a performance stage, and fully reopened in April 2026. It added Renate LIVE Thursdays with bands and performances, while the garden hosts free open airs.
