Berghain History

Back in 1998, the dazzling streets of Berlin's Friedrichshain neighborhood danced to the pulsating beats of the iconic Ostgut club. Founded by the dynamic duo, Norbert Thormann and Michael Teufele, this club sat in what was once a bustling railway repair depot. Party-goers flocked for unforgettable nights of wild techno and uninhibited freedom. Though Ostgut bid adieu in 2003, the party-loving spirit lived on!

In 2004, our heroes Thormann and Teufele unveiled the epic Berghain. Perched in a massive concrete giant that stood tall since the 1950s in East Berlin, this former heating plant bridged the vibrant districts of Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain. The name "Berghain" is a clever mashup of the two!
