Part of the Gay Berlin Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Berlin, Germany
Legendary marathon techno club with queer roots, running since 2004 in Friedrichshain.
Born from Berlin's post-reunification gay fetish and techno underground, Berghain occupies a 1950s power plant on the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg border. The main floor — 18-meter ceilings, seven Funktion-One stacks, near-total darkness — runs marathon Klubnacht sessions from Friday night through Monday morning. Upstairs, Panorama Bar offers a warmer, house-music counterpoint with natural light and Wolfgang Tillmans prints on the walls. The club's queer roots run deep. Founders Michael Teufele and Norbert Thormann launched the all-male Snax party in 1994 and built Ostgut, Berghain's predecessor, as Berlin's first gay-techno hybrid. Lab.oratory, the men-only fetish space in the basement, carries that lineage forward. A strict no-photo policy and Sven Marquardt's famously selective door preserve the anything-goes atmosphere that earned Berlin's techno scene UNESCO heritage status in 2024.
