Garten für alle!
Renate Garden is a community space, open on Fridays from 4pm and Saturdays from 2pm. The programme is varied, ranging from concerts to workshops and open airs.
We want to share our spaces and make them accessible to everyone, continuing to contribute to a vibrant urban culture. It is important to us to see the garden as a space for experimentation, community, and the neighbourhood — entry is free to our Renate Open airs and any other events will be kept low cost.
There will always be great music, food and drinks but you can also just come as you are and spend some time in the sun with us.
Bring your dog! Bring your family! You are all welcome in our garden.

Face Value (Live)
Face Value is the new project of Julius Klaus and Markus Hartung, formerly members of Sultans Court. After years of making music together, the duo are taking their sound in a more electronic direction, drawing heavily on the energy and culture of Berlin’s club scene.
With their studio located Renate, the influence of club culture, powerful sound systems and long nights of continuous music is deeply embedded in their approach. Their music is shaped by a constant dialogue between atmosphere, Rythm and repetition.
Tracks emerge through extended improvisation. Dense, atmospheric textures, rhythmic fragments and recurring motifs gradually evolve into defined structures. Synthesised sequences meet acoustic drums, field recordings and repetitive vocals, balancing meticulous sound design with an openness to chance and spontaneity.
The same process carries into their live performances. Rather than focusing on individual tracks, Face Value build slowly evolving sets that develop tension over time, moving fluidly between ambient passages and more driving, club-oriented moments. Warm, dense synthesiser layers, repetitive drums and vocal elements form the core of their sound. The result is less about individual moments than about creating a continuous pull
Propellar (Live)
Propellar is the sound of two best friends turning beats into bliss. Blending indie-pop with disco and house, their music is bright, bouncy and made for movement. With wide atmospheric vocals, reverb-soaked guitars and dry, punchy drops, their sound is both immersive and electrifying. Drawing inspiration from the aesthetics of the ’60s and ’70s and driven by a love for creative exploration, they carve out their own space in electronic pop while growing together as artists and friends. Since debuting in late 2021, Propellar has been working together with renowned labels like Stil Vor Talent, Anjunadeep, Colorize, ICONYC, 3000 Grad and Family Piknik Music.

CORE TO CORE brings together five Berlin-based collectives rooted in diasporic, queer, migrant and Global South communities: Haram Night, saHHara – سَهّارة, Dub&Dal, Fiestuki and Haus of Audacity.
As part of Tag der Clubkultur 2026, we come together to explore what becomes possible when independent communities share their knowledge, networks, sounds and spaces rather than building alone.
The day begins with a shared meal, an expressive workshop and an open forum exploring diaspora, belonging and the realities of navigating Berlin’s club scene.
From there, the conversation moves onto the dancefloor for a collectively curated night across Renate’s Green and Red Floors, bringing together different musical worlds, energies and perspectives.
This is not five separate showcases. It is one shared journey a space for exchange, connection, Pleasure and collective expression, created from the communities that continue to shape Berlin’s nightlife from within.

Kresse 3 is the herb peeking out from the cracks between the cobblestones. You might call it post-punk, recognize the euphoric energy of Krautrock, or hear the old melancholy of German-language indie pop.
All these influences are certainly present—you can hear echoes of Element of Crime, CAN, Wanda, Tocotronic, or International Music. And in the vocal harmonies—if you have a big enough heart—even the Beatles. Yet, the whole thing is driven primarily by the urge to find new imagery; to tell stories of setting out, of desires, of futility, of stumbling, and of momentum and high spirits all at once—warm and sad, both together: beautiful!
“It is these contradictory melancholies, the constant falling while rising, the echo of bleak German landscapes despite the sunshine, that make this appetizingly presented release so alluring” – Hilka Dirks, *taz*Ultimately, we make music that we enjoy. We hope you enjoy it too. As
Konni sings: “We live the love that no one was waiting for.” To us, that is a love
that deserves to be heeded (and heard!).

House of Lunacy is an Adult playground for the senses, a sex positive space with consent and comfort at it's principle core. A lovers Labyrinth of Art, Theatre and Performances from Berlins most creative souls.
Dearest Darlings,
Welcome to our final chapter of the year. Chapter IV: Decay.
This year, we pass through the veil to a ballroom of magnificent revelry and rot! Step across the threshold into a twilight realm where 1920s Weimar decadence bleeds into the shadowed, velvety boudoirs of turn of the century Montmartre. We collide the dark, avant garde expressionism of Anita Berber’s Dances of Vice, Horror, and Ecstasy with the sultry, cigarette stained hedonism of a belle époque Parisian brothel.
We have reached the absolute end of this cycle. Since our rebirth, we now prepare to decay once more, letting our world settle before the wheel turns for 2027.
Join hands with the damned as we dance into the night with the forgotten souls of the past. A ballroom of raw sensuality, scandalous erotica, and total liberation.
Channel the provocative spirit of Berber: androgynous tuxedos, stark Expressionist dramatics, and radical, unfiltered expression, entwined with the lace, powdered wigs, corsetry, and silk petticoats of Montmartre’s most infamous opium dens and pleasure houses.
The Damned have returned to this world for one single night, leaving their beauty to rot and decay in their once magnificent splendour as they swirl across the floor in pure rapture and lust.
DRESS CODE & INSPIRATION
We invite you to manifest your darkest, most decadent interpretations of the theme:
Weimar Cabaret & Expressionist Vice:
Anita Berber, Sebastian Droste, sharp suits, monocles, sharp tailoring, smudged rouge, theatrical macabre, and avant garde nudity.
Montmartre Boudoir:
Silk robes, stained velvet, corsets, ripped lace, powdered faces, disheveled aristocrats, salon poets, and courtesan glam.
Rot, Decay & The Undead: Faded grandeur, tattered ballgowns, skeletal elegance, and opulent grotesque beauty.
Your creativity always brings us so much joy and amazement, we cannot wait to see what sublime madness you will manifest.
⟡ ✦ ⟡

✵ DRESS CODE ✵

Basically - No Effort, No Entry.

TAKE A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE BELOW
2007: A classic post-reunification tale: making something special spontaneously and out of necessity.
A handful of creative and cultural professionals (some of these people still work for Renate to this day!) were looking for storage space for their openair party equipment and stumbled across the building that is now Renate. The building was old, sitting empty for a long time and was rumoured to be a bordello of sorts. Fun fact: what is now our cloak room was once kebab shop.
What was initially intended to be storage space gradually developed into a completely new club experience with endless design possibilities. Starting with an opening of the first floor, expanded into what is now the Green floor and Red floor. These were living spaces for our community that were converted into the backstage at the weekend.
2008: Welcome to the Renate Horror Picture Show!
Diversity is at the heart of our club's identity and we have always encouraged the team and guests to show who they are and to present themselves on stage. A fond memory is the production of the Renate Horror Picture Show, an immersive interactive theatre throughout the house as an opportunity for amateur actors and guests to crawl out of their shells.
2009: Transforming Renate from a residential building into an internationally celebrated club
In the ground floor entrance area we integrated a pub that was also open during the week and was soon to present a new attraction: the infamous labyrinth! After months of expansion, the Peristal Signum was opened - a psychedelic labyrinth and spatial installation made from mystical, recycled relics of civilisation and lovingly handcrafted objects.
Until 2014, the labyrinth drew tens of thousands of guests from all over the world into a bizarre, surreal experience.
2010: Welcome to the stage: Miss Renate!
Our humble living room is a vibrant club, with an atmosphere characterised by the people around us. YOU, our guest have always been what Renate is! With our annual Miss Renate Contest, we ridiculed and radically exaggerated the traditional beauty contests. At the same time, everyone was free to slip into the role of the wild Renate and grow out of themselves. Here is a recap of our 2013 pagent.
2012: Opera in the Renate Garden anyone?
The Kiez Oper celebrated its debut on July 20th and 21st 2012 in our garden with a performance of Henry Purcell's opera "Dido & Aeneas"
2015: Renate skatepark
A well-known shoe company transformed the Renate Garten into a skate park for "Smoke under Water" event.
2016: A star is born
Renate becomes home to Berlin’s most creative souls - House of Red Doors, renamed House of Lunacy from 2020 started in 2016 as an adult sensory playground and a sex positive space where consent and comfort are central. Every event has a creative theme that guests can explore with their clothes, costumes and bodies.
2020: Overmorrow looks beyond the COVID pandemic
2020 was characterised by the pandemic, shutdown, change and adaptation. Our roots are with the arts, so in times of crisis we wanted to give space to artists who represent our subculture and guests, pushing the boundaries of society and addressing generational conflicts in the new 21st century.
Wilden Renate’s Overmorrow was an immersive walkthrough art experience created by over 40 artists and the installations, performances, and exhibitions occupied most of the indoor spaces of Wilde Renate.
The audience enters in groups of two, with 5-minute intervals, for 1 hour of exploration of dark, morphing spaces ranging from exhibitions of oil paintings through interactive installations to performances, loosely tied together by the themes of isolation and future.
2025: A last minute lifeline comes our way
2025 was not our favourite year – a fire in the garden and the ticking clock towards our closure sat above us. That is until mere days before our closure, we received a new lease! With 10 years ahead, we could breath and dream of what could come next
2026: Welcome to the new Renate!
A short pause after receiving our new lease turned into a soft-reopening in January, where the club was partially open on weekends and then in full renovation mode during the week. Three months later in April, we were able to reopen for real and finally celebrate the whirlwind of hard work, relief and excitement that got us to a new chapter we didn’t think would happen. But here we are! 19 years strong with nothing but love for the work we do and the community we do it for! Renate forever! We’re here for a long time. We’re here for a good time.
Hi, we’re Renate – nice to be (re)introduced to you!
The past two years have been a rollercoaster, but we’re still here! After receiving our extended lease in mid-December 2025, we have a new motivation to make the most of this opportunity. Let’s get acquainted with each other again.

Hi, we’re Renate – nice to be (re)introduced to you!
The past two years have been a rollercoaster, but we’re still here! After receiving our extended lease in mid-December 2025, we have a new motivation to make the most of this opportunity. Let’s get acquainted with each other again.
What happened? Is Renate closed? Is Renate back?
In mid-2025 we were able to restart negotiations to keep Renate going, greatly supported by Franziska Giffey, Senator for Economic Affairs, Energy and Public Enterprises. Her legal support and guidance set the foundation for us to share our story, to get into the right rooms and help us navigate some of our hardest times.
After months of uncertainty, the foundations for a new collaboration were laid and on December 15 – approximately two weeks before the end of our lease – we received a new rental contract for another 10 years, accompanied by the establishment of a new operating company and structural realignment of the club.
Following this happy news, we decided to finish the year, then take a big breath of relief and take a pause. We had ceased most operations and decided to take some time to reflect, renovate and dream up what would happen next.
A short pause turned into a soft-reopening in January, where the club was partially open on weekends and then in full renovation mode during the week. Three months later in April, we were able to reopen for real and finally celebrate the whirlwind of hard work, relief and excitement that got us to a new chapter we didn’t think would happen.
We would not have got here without everyone who supported our fight. We cannot thank Franiska Giffey and her office enough for the meaningful and tireless support. Our own team who kept showing up for us through the challenges gave us motivation to keep trying and the dream of what we could do inspired us to invest this opportunity into something even bigger.
This relaunch is a clear commitment to further develop Renate as a cultural venue, employer, and part of Berlin's club scene in a sustainable way, with respect for all involved.
Being a part of Berlin’s iconic nightlife history is a badge we wear with pride. But legacy is not all we want to be. We want to use our position and this opportunity we have been given to carve out a brighter future for us all.
Renate forever! We’re here for a long time. We’re here for a good time.
After we secured our new lease, we took the time to gather ourselves and ask “what will our future look like?” and we decided that the future is you! We invested in our space, our community, our team and the original dream of Renate.
We spent the winter months renovating the green floor; there’s a new sound system, more room for you to dance and a performance stage to incorporate more spectacle to our parties.
We welcomed new team members – the next generation of club workers who are eager to continue the legacy of this institution with pride. We pay respect to the work that came before us and our newest team members are excited by the challenge and privilege that comes with trying something new with something so special. That’s part of the fun, right?
There’s always a room for you at Renate!
Part of our charm is that we truly welcome you as you are. We know that many of you explored your first clubbing experiences with us, we were maybe the first club you got into when you visited Berlin or where you got a chance to play behind the booth at last.
We wear that badge with pride as we commit to this new future. Our booking team is new and inspired to present the full spectrum of dance music, but most importantly: proud to invest in local talent and people working hard to give a new sound or experience to Berlin.
We have welcomed so many new people to our world these past months and have even more to come –collective takeovers by community driven crews and labels, special “DJ curates” style nights presented by local favourite DJs, new Queer parties, parties by people from less represented backgrounds and much, much more!
Renate has a reputation for being a bit silly, campy and let’s say glamourous in that old school Berlin fashion. Let’s bring that to a new generation together!
After all: who is the next big thing if we do not support the people working hard right now? What will be your new favourite party if there is no space to try something new?
We have 10 wonderful years ahead of us and we intend to make them matter.
Our call to you is: Support your local. Support what’s next. We can protect club culture and ensure its future if we support those putting in the work!
Garten für alle!
Alongside our club program, the Renate Garden is a community space, open on Fridays from 4pm and Saturdays from 2pm. The programme is varied, ranging from concerts to workshops and open airs.

We are also open to hearing what YOU want from our space. Do you have an idea to bring people together during the week? Are you looking for a gorgeous garden with food and drinks to host your community? Give us a message. We look forward to your ideas!
Want to be part of the fun?
Keep in touch with us via our website and social media, but coming to the club is even better!
We guarantee that if you are a long-time lover of Renate, you’ll enjoy that classic experience in a new way.
If you are new to us or haven’t been in a while – even better! We think you will be pleasantly surprised at how this old Diva has changed for the times.
We’ve saved a space just for you, so come on by! We’ll be here waiting here to greet you with a smile and a good time. Club culture is serious to us, but it’s also not that deep.
Keep it wild. Keep it fun. Keep it Renate
In Renate we Trust.
Renate has been an integral part of Berlin’s club scene since 2007.
Housed in a former tenement building at Alt-Stralau 70, it’s known for its maze-like rooms and unique vibe.
Apart from hosting club nights, Renate is home to numerous studios where artists from various disciplines create.
Right now, one of these studios is available for rent.
If you’re interested, just drop us an email at: studio@renate.cc.
