Humboldthain Club: club culture

Apart from PANKE, Brun­nen 70 and Statt­bad, Wed­ding did­n’t real­ly have a who­le lot of clubs to offer. Now, Hum­boldt­hain Club,right next to the S‑Bahn sta­ti­on Hum­boldt­hain, is a new cont­act point for the spoi­led Ber­lin audience.

The S‑Bahn basi­cal­ly stops right in Hum­bolt­hain Club: In the train, you can alre­a­dy feel the beat – it’s super easy to get the­re, a first plus. At the ent­rance, you’ll be gree­ted by chess-play­ing boun­cers. No long line, no evil door­man sen­ding you back home – life here is easy. After pay­ing your ent­rance fee (10 €), you’ll be per­mit­ted to enter the sacred halls of Hum­boldt­hain Club.

The first eye-cat­cher is the out­door area: a lot of sand, colourful murals, self­ma­de chairs, a bon­fi­re, a ham­mock. In a tree, a plush par­rot is hiding. Even win­ter­ly tem­pe­ra­tures can’t deter you from having a litt­le chat out here.

The club its­elf also offers a lot of crea­ti­ve deco­ra­ti­on: Saint Mary behind a colourful coun­ter, psy­che­de­lic masks and a hand­ma­de aqua­ri­um fight for your atten­ti­on. In a chill­out area (’shot bar’), a game con­so­le invi­tes you to have a litt­le break.

The audi­ence is mixed, offe­ring Hipsters and tou­rists as well as real Wed­din­gers. The music is an electro/techno/house mix typi­cal for Ber­lin, ser­ved by famous DJs. For your musi­cal well-being, the­re are two indoor flo­ors and, in sum­mer for after work par­ties, the out­door area. Drinks are­n’t cheap but come for nor­mal Ber­lin club prices.

By the way: The club is run by a coll­ec­ti­ve of around 20 peo­p­le who want to include the neigh­bor­hood into the sce­ne by offe­ring lec­tures and con­certs – stay tun­ed on what else Hum­boldt­hain is going to offer!
