When you talk about Berghain, you think of the iconic Berlin staple and its unrelenting techno beats spanning over its four floors and cavernous rooms. Not to mention the exclusivity and countless number of stories we’ve heard about the nerves people face in those long queues before approaching the entrance. Each night, the queue for this notorious nightclub is filled with the same burning question in a myriad of languages: "Are we going to get in?" By the time you get to the door and find yourself staring into the eyes of the infamous doorman, Sven, your might as well be facing the terrestrial equivalent of receiving a judgement from Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates.
Split over four levels, the popular rave cave on the upper most level which is called the Panorama Bar has made it onto DJ Mag’s list of Top 100 Clubs at a whooping spot at 12. The other three spaces in the complex include the namesake Berghain, XXX-Floor and Elektroakustischer Salon.
Take a look at these intuitive Infographics to get a better idea of what the club looks like. For a lot of people, this might kind of be the only way! Yes, googling it shows hardly ANY images which show anything and also apparently upon entry, camera lenses of all the guests are covered by a colorful sticker and photography is prohibited - screaming exclusivity 101!
