Watergate Berlin

The Story

This former club opened in October 2002 in a building next to the Spree river, with a capacity of 800 people, much smaller than Berghain or Tresor. The venue stood out for its LED light panel covering the entire ceiling and the river view through glass windows, in addition to launching careers such as those of Dixon, Anja Schneider, and Solomun. In September 2024, the founders announced the definitive closure of the physical space due to cost pressures and rising rent, ending 22 years of activity at the end of that year. The brand and the Watergate Records label remain active, but the club itself no longer exists.
