00:00Hello! By now you all know what's going on in Berghain and how to get in there.
00:06But even if you're going there every weekend, I guarantee you, you didn't know
00:11most of the things I put together here. Let's get started. Number one. The designer
00:17studio that created the interior of Berghain is called Studio Carhart and on
00:22their website you can see pictures from inside Berghain for almost all rooms.
00:28Each floor, bar and even the toilets are listed there. If you want to check them
00:34out, I'll put a link in the description below. They also designed a few other
00:38clubs and bars in Berlin if you're interested. Number two. Berghain is
00:43officially considered high culture. In 2016 a German court ruled that Berghain is
00:51producing work of cultural significance and should therefore be allowed to pay a
00:56lower tax rate. Since then Berghain doesn't need to pay the usual 19% tax but
01:02only seven which is on the same level as museums or theaters. Number three. On
01:09average 21% of all DJ sets performed at Berghain were played live. But you mean
01:16four out of five DJs are just standing there pretending to play?
01:22Well, it is how it is. You think four out of five DJs could stay sober and
01:28concentrate the whole freaking night? Huh? Foolish child.
01:36Number four. At the bar in Berghain you can buy something very delicious. And I'm not
01:48for eating. Number five. There's a board game in existence called Berghain. The
01:58description reads a fast and fun Q management game for two to six players in
02:04which players play the role of one of the club's legendary bouncers to foster the
02:09right mix of characters into the club. Players take turns as the bouncer letting
02:14the right people in and sabotaging their opponents. Sounds like a lot of fun.
02:20Number six. In 2007 Berghain cooperated with the Berlin State Ballet to put
02:27together a ballet choreography to the music of techno DJs. The show was called
02:32Shut Up and Dance and was also performed inside Berghain. If you want to see the full
02:38performance I will also put a link to one of the videos in the description below.
02:44Number seven. Berghain has one of the world's most powerful sound systems. The speakers are
02:50all from the company Function One and usually operate only at 10 to 20 percent capacity. If they
02:58would operate at a hundred percent it would probably blow our brains out. Number eight.
03:05Everybody knows that Berghain has the strictest door policy in the world and the bouncers don't really
03:11care if you're famous or not. If you don't fit in you don't fit in. Some of the most famous
03:17people
03:17who have been rejected at that door were Conan O'Brien, Felix the house cat, Britney Spears or Richie
03:26Hodwin. If you know anyone else leave a comment below. Number nine. Sven Markhart, the guy who said the
03:34phrase sorry, heute leider nicht, more than anyone else in the world isn't only a bouncer at Berghain
03:42but also a pretty successful photographer shooting mainly in black and white. Up until now he has also
03:49written three books, two art books and one memoir. You can get them on amazon if you think he's cool.
03:57If you guys know anything else interesting about the club leave a comment below. Until next time.
04:05See you soon.
