The venue
Berlin's best-known techno club, open since 2004 in a former power station between Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg. RA bills it as "Berghain | Panorama Bar | Säule"; ICYMI treats those rooms as one venue. DJ Mag placed it 16th in its 2025 club poll and 21st in 2026.
The entrance is at ground level and a lift links all floors when staff accompany you. Low-barrier toilets are available on request. Guests who cannot queue may ask at the door with a severe-disability pass (50% or more); a companion marked "B" on the pass enters free. The club says entry is guaranteed for no one.
