Few locations have thriven undeterred from the city’s post-Wende awakening till today’s boom. But Prenzl’Berg’s KulturBrauerei successfully made the transition, straddling the bridge between off-scene and mainstream with an eclectic mix of cultural events. And no wonder: the building itself is a true survivor. The old Schultheiss brewery was built in 1842, and remains one of the only well-preserved examples of industrial architecture in Berlin. This year, the multi-purpose, city block-sized complex – home to seven different clubs, bars and theatres – celebrates its twentieth anniversary. After the kick-off on September 1, there’ll be special events all year. On the big night: Theater RambaZamba, Polish street-theater artists Teatr Osmego Dnia and Israeli group Kenafayim will turn the Brauereihof (courtyard) into an open-air stage Frieden – Ein Fest, a reinterpretation of Aristophanes’ ancient comedy. Stick around for fireworks and DJs.
