    The stat that says that Berlin is a net negative for Germany is quite outdated, and it's important to note that many German cities are quite strong, economically, which skews Berlin down more than, let's say, other French cities and Paris.

    Sven Marquart has stated in interviews that they pick the guests aiming to create the right blend of people. Each night is supposed to be an unforgettable party, it takes a certain blend of ages, sexualities, nationalities and styles.
    Yes, there are some guidelines that will help your chances to get in as stated in the video, but often it comes down to pure chanse.
    Like the doorpolicy or not, if you have been in there, you can't deny they do an amazing job in selecting a great crowd. It in not just the young, cool and beautiful. It is not just middle-aged gay men, or only germans, or only tourists. It is all kinds of people.
    Since everyone knows they might be turned away, everyone who gets in enters the building with a feeling of euphoria, a feeling of having been selected.
    It is all a game of psychology, and it works!
    You get in and you feel this amazing rush of exitement that carries you into the party.
    I have been to Berghain many times, and that feeling still hits me every time.
    Berghain is for those who got in that night. They will experience something amazing, but this magic trick only works if four out of every five people in the line gets rejected.

    As someone who loves the techno scene here, I really appreciate that this comment section is so understanding and didn't immediately judge the club for being "exclusive". There are plenty of great clubs in Berlin and yet so many tourists try to get into Berghain, simply because they want to tick it off their bucket list. That spirit can bring a nervous, judgy and unrelaxed vibe to the club.
    If you come to Berlin and are interested in the techno scene, here are some lesser known (outside of Berlin) but great places:
    - RSO: Similar style as Berghain, dark, fast, monotous and meditative
    - Else: Outdoor club with varying genres, great soundsystem and amazing atmosphere
    - Club Ost: More popular among early 20s crowds, also varying genres and mostly good vibes
    Most importantly: Don't come when there's a famous DJ, because it will attract tourists, more rejections. Check the DJs out on Soundcloud and follow the sounds you like. And welcome to the scene!

      Went to Tresor while in Berlin, of course more of a 'mainstream' club, but the atmosphere walking towards towards the basement, with smoke blocking any vision more than 1 meter away, stroboscopes, the metal bars everywhere, the hard techno, everything, was unmatched by any club after.

    I went to Berghain a few weeks ago on a recent work trip to Berlin. I'm 33 now, but I've been multiple times since I was 19. As some other posters have said, Berghain is *just* a club, and you can find many spinoffs of it in other cities in the world. What Berghain has that many of the others don't, though, is: scale (it's massive), commitment to aesthetic (you don't find an old East German power plant anywhere anymore), freedom (you can kinda do whatever you want within reason), and originality (it is the remnant of an older era of Berlin and partying that doesn't really exist organically anymore).
    The world changes, and so do the meanings of places, but what has remained so impressive about Berghain is its ability to maintain its identity and values in a constantly changing world. It abhors voyeurism and nightlife tourism, and I am fully behind the club's rejection of people who are there for the wrong reasons, even if it means I've been rejected 30% of the time for not being German. Just like the Brooklyn hipster aesthetic has permeated many corners of the globe, so has Berghain/Berlin-style nightlife. It's the CBGBs of this era of techno.
    On my most recent visit, I did feel like the crowd was becoming a bit of a parody of itself, but maybe that's just me being 33 instead of 27 (my previous visit there). I still had a great time, but something inside of me felt like the era of Berghain would be soon coming to a close. I feel 5-10 more years.

      Techno has gotten really popular recently, similar to how electro and progressive house got really popular and commercialised in the 2010s. So there are a lot of people who jump on the bandwagon without that genuine natural love for the music, and are just not self aware enough to appreciate the way crowds and atmospheres at techno events should be. So yeah, I'd say clubs like this are going to quickly deteriorate in terms of enjoyability for the people who truly love techno and only add positively to the atmosphere of the dancefloor. You see more and more dickheads taking stickers off their cameras to take pictures inside clubs these days, it should result in an instant lifetime ban

      But one of my former colleagues from work who's a very clean and proper blonde girl right out of an Enyd Blyton's kids book, managed to pass the door and had quite the adventure of her life that she wasn't expecting nor was prepared for. 🤣.
      I don't know how, but she managed to catch a glimpse of the Lab, and she remembered it vividly.
      Some of my friends are more mainstream looking and just pass the door without issues either.
      I'd say you can be a tourist, and look like one, but you should wear or express on your face the idea that you're prepared to experience it fully and not be a spectator at the zoo.
      Another door that's supposed to be difficult but it's just a question of vibe and looks or dress code is the KitKatclub, another wonderful club where you can be yourself without much limits.
      If you're half rejected at KitKat, just undress and you'll pass, as you can be naked.
      They'll prefer that over an outfit that doesn't fit well with the crowds of the night.

    I got to go to Berghain for CTM as a guest of one of the headliners for the festival and had full run of the place more or less. They let us into the club a few hours early for soundcheck and got to meet all the staff and management which was super cool. Gave us access to the green rooms and let us have all the food and drinks from the green rooms we pleased. Was really cool to see beyond what regular patrons who get in are able to see, we also had our own door we got to use to the left of the main door everybody lines up for. We literally got to break all the rules of the line, being foreigners dressed however we wanted and getting to talk to each other in line. A group of about 10 of us all got to go as part of my producer friends rider. Still have the orange stickers they put over my phone cameras even though I don’t even have that phone anymore. It was certainly quite the experience being from the North American west coast rave scene getting that kind of access in such an exclusive club. One of the greatest memories I will ever have

When I say loud and obnoxious what I mean is that we got to stand to the left of the line and chat as a group of friends stoked to see their friend about to play at Berghain about to be let in our own door by management while everybody else had to stand in line all serous. Yeah, we broke that rule because we had permission to break that rule.. management literally came out and met us at the door to bring us in. We still all got stickers on our phones. Nobody took any pictures. We got to have an experience as a group of friends from a far away place that not many people get to do. We didn’t do anything unbecoming inside, we had fun, we were allowed access to the green rooms and to help ourselves to food and drinks that all the artists are welcome too as we were guests of an artist. I don’t understand what you think we did wrong but we certainly behaved ourselves well and we didn’t disrespect any rules inside the club at all. Dunno where you may be getting that from

In all, there was an energy to that place as mostly everyone was there to enjoy themselves in their own way ☺️

    As a Berliner whose been in Berghain a few times I can say that the way Sofie described the experience of standing in line is spot on, but I have a couple of additions/comments: It’s hilarious and completely tru that having a backpack significantly increases ur chances of getting in, the part about the vibe fits too, more than the clothes u wear, Berghain doesn’t have a Dresscode I would say, it’s all vibes, but black docmartens boots are better than white Jordan’s, then again I’m a white, blonde finance bro who doesn’t drink or take drugs so my vibe is not really the vibe😂😂😂. Regardingthe bouncers, yes you pretty much always have Sven there and up to around 5 others, with sometimes some walking around. These 6 bouncers are constantly sifting through the crowd, meaning u need to get ur act straight as soon as ur like 30-50m away from the entrance, they also talk to eachother, funny enough in code, they talk in numbers, like cops giving codes to certain types of behaviors. You should not have your phone out in those last 50m. Also if u don’t have guestlist, don’t get into the guestlist line. When it comes to arriving there there are 3 things I can say: Never really go there expecting to get in, plan another club or maybe 2 to go to if it doesn’t work out, go there after you’ve been to KitKat on a Saturday, meaning u line up at Berghain at around 5/6am on Sunday, by that point the line is tiny. If it isn’t, skip it to the last like 50m. As Hoog mentioned, the line is filled with internationals, who’ve prolly been standing there for hours, they won’t make a fuss and ruin their chance to get in and it’s not worth standing in line for more than 15 min. If someone does make a fuss, ignore him, it will most likely hurt him more than you. Last thing I would say, when you dress for Berghain, don’t be flashy in any sense. Be casual, but Berliny u Kno. As for the club, the location is awesome, it’s huge, spacious, and the music is quite good at times, but more than once or twice, or thrice is not a vibe. The thing with it being open the whole weekend is that on one hand ye u can party all weekend, but on the other hand everyone is fucked up, the vibe is grimy and druggy, the air is stuffy and reeks of piss (mainly because on the ground floor right next to the entrance and main stairwell there are booths where you can piss on people willing to be pissed on), the floors are sticky, the people aren’t really friendly, it’s dark as hell, but in a meh way, and doesn’t really feel all to welcoming. Then again I’m biased because I like clean clubs, good atmosphere, and so on. If you like sex clubs, or techno clubs with variety i recommend the KitKat club, my personal favorite and the one I frequent regularly. On Saturdays it has 7 floors, with a variety of techno and other arts, a sauna, good beds and such for sex, very inventive costumes (usually worn by women) and just a very friendly and welcoming vibe, and a clear Dresscode so you don’t have to worry about this whole vibe bs (although vibes and being not too fucked up before you enter are important). Generally I would say (if it’s not a big event) get in line at around 22:45/2300, then you have to wait barely 20min and they are more lenient on Dresscode.
