You can also witness frightening moments in this techno temple, where you are able to spend your entire weekend. Themes and events can be changed every week. Keep in mind that you will not be allowed in, as club officials, who have not succumbed to popularity despite the crowds, do not abandon their regulations. And if you do manage to get in, never forget that; no taking pictures.

Wilde Renate (Salon Zur Wilde Renate)

Today, the real name of the club is ‘Wilde Renate‘, formerly ‘Salon Zur Wilde Renate‘; as the name suggests, it is the kind of place that will blow your mind. If you like festival-style venues, do not miss it. In addition to the large area outside, you are faced with many dance floors consisting of blocks inside.

In addition, one of the most interesting points is the sections consisting of small swimming pools. In this place where diversity is abundant, you witness deep, techno, minimal, and many other genres. With its attractive theme, Wilde Renate offers a unique offer with open-air parties and unlimited fun. Also, the drinking inside is a little different; bring the empty and exchange it for the full. You should experience this with thematic parties and odd fashion styles. Never look weird to anyone, be different too.

It is highly recommended to visit ://about blank. This venue is known throughout the Berlin underground scene for its strong, leftist political identity and self-conception that is always publicly communicated. Once an illegal club, ://about blank’s programming mostly revolves around house and techno, but it cuts loose once in a while with the occasional disco night.

The techno club offers several floors with a versatile mix of house and techno music. In the summer you can visit some great open-air parties here. The music policy at this club is constantly evolving, but house and techno are the genres that usually dominate. DJs play out in the garden during summertime (open year-round). The overall atmosphere can be gritty, with some parties going until morning or even the afternoon!

Tresor

A club that truly holds the title of being the pioneer of techno music in Germany. The temple, which has become a tradition since the ’90s, changed its position in 2007, but never lost its influence. Tresor brought the best of all electronic music, presented the best tracks, and entertained the best audiences yesterday, today, and always. Within the framework of this benevolence policy, it is also a tolerant club.

Getting inside is definitely not as much of a nightmare as Berghain. When you take a step into it, you encounter a labyrinth-like and cubic environment inside this power plant. There is endless music inside this pleasant structure and an incredible acoustic system that brings it to you pleasantly. You will encounter a friendly atmosphere in this sanctuary of techno legend and realize how unique it is from a standard club night out.

Watergate

Website | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter

A 20-year-old nightclub boasting a sound system and resident DJs, where not only the indoor but also the outdoor can entertain you. The club is made very interesting with its elite decoration and many things they have developed before others. On the pioneer floor, LED panels were applied for the first time in this place. Apart from this, it has an architectural structure that reveals the beautiful places around it with its transparent ceiling and windows.

The DJs who perform their show inside is definitely an important name. Unless you go on special days at the weekend, you will witness a Watergate night away from the chaos. The only thing you should not do is not go as a full group of males or females. The club is the perfect place for matches, as one of its goals is to keep the number of men and women equal.

Sisyphos Nightclub

Website | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter

Put aside the image that comes to your mind when talking about a nightclub. This is a techno wonderland beyond its counterparts that you cannot even think about. This temple, which is not in the downtown, but remains in the countryside, stands out with its natural surroundings. For this reason, the time to go should generally be during the summer period, and events and bookings are arranged for these periods.

While you encounter the pond, beach, stands, and abandoned structures outside, which is the main place, you can find labyrinths that create dance floors and sauna sections inside. Enjoy unforgettable parties, new places to discover, and free spirit in this place, which is enchanted with small touches every year. Hope to meet you there on sunny days.

Kater Blau

Kater Blau is the successor of the infamous Bar 25 and Kater Holzig. The club demonstrated for the first time in the history of Berlin that a (sub-)cultural institution, therefore the people, could outbid a big corporation. If you have a weekend to dance away, you’ll want to head to Kater Blau – a Spree-side spot that has an arty, upbeat vibe, making it a pleasant change from the gritty, industrial energy of most techno clubs in Berlin.

Just like all the other Berliner techno clubs on this list, the Kater Blau has a nice outdoor area where you can party during the day. The lineups of the club are very attractive if you like popular DJs: on a regular basis, you can see DJs like Dave Dinger, Dirty Doering, and Schleppgeist perform here.

The atmosphere in this club in Berlin is very nice and can be compared to the vibe of German festivals.

House of Weekend

Website | Instagram | Facebook

From the 15th floor of the House of Travel, you have a wonderful view of Berlin at night. The House of Weekend is located in the immediate vicinity of Alexanderplatz and is bursting at the seams, especially in the summer months. The HOW is miles away from the dimly lit clubs in Friedrichshain in more ways than one. There are delicious cocktails and great music here, the seating is clean, and the large terrace is a wonderful place to chill. Those who occasionally like it more noble are in good hands here. A great place to celebrate in the city center. If you are the type to celebrate in a chic ambiance with one of the most beautiful views of Berlin, especially if you dance against the sunrise, then you know you are at the right place.

Kitkatclub

KitKatClub is one of Berlin’s most well-known clubs. It embodies the inclusive, permissive spirit that defines so much of Berlin; sex, fetish clothing, and an open mind are highly encouraged. Although bouncers are quite strict here, expect a friendly vibe once you’re past the cloakroom, where you’ll undoubtedly be among those shedding some layers before hitting the dance floor.

Once in, with techno beats pumping and whimsical lights, it feels like you’re dancing with friends. Once you step into KitKat, you can be whatever and whomever you want, and feel free to look into your sexual desires and fetishes with no need to hide your love of the bizarre. Explore the place and you’ll find many dance floors, a lounge area, a massage room and also a swimming pool. Feel the music and let your mind be your true self.

Hoppetosse & Club der Visionäre

It is hard to separate one from the other. So in this part, we are going to examine the two close friend-like clubs together.

Hoppetosse is closely linked to its next-door neighbour Club der Visionäre. The permanently docked vessel on the Spree River is near the Arena Club. The venue is simple with its single dancefloor. The sound system (by Mo Stern) will delight audiophiles with its crystal-clear tones. The parties typically take place over the weekends, and you should expect a more minimal-sounding techno spun by local talent and a smattering of industry-leading names.

One of the first and best, this summer-only canal-side club is nestled under an enormous weeping willow. There’s a small indoor dance floor and a rickety open-air wood-deck terrace with a large jetty stretching out across the water. You can drop in during the week for a beer, but the place comes to life at the weekend, filling up with an after-hours crowd, happy to chill, drink and dance the day away.
