Why it stands out
No owner, no sponsor
A cooperative with one hourly wage for all staff and no shareholders or sponsoring, open since 2010, with a garden that turns into a free summer bar on weekday evenings.

://about blank
A cooperative techno club at Ostkreuz
01The experience
A club run as a cooperative
://about blank opened in 2010 and describes itself as a techno club and cultural centre with a left-wing orientation. It is run by about blank eG, a cooperative, not by an owner or an investor.
The club describes its economics as a “solidarische Ökonomie”: one hourly wage for everyone who works there, no shareholders and no sponsoring. Its politics are part of how it presents itself, and it says so at length on its own site.
Plan your night
Admission & reservations
://about blank runs its own door and entry. KONNEKTION does not take table bookings here — Berlin club nights are standing, door-and-ticket events.
02The setting
The grey house on Markgrafendamm
The photographs show the building from the street in 2020, 2022 and 2026: a low grey block with painted walls and, most years, a banner along the roof. They are freely licensed pictures taken from public ground.
Behind it is the garden. In summer it opens as the Sektgarten, which the club describes as relaxed evenings with sparkling wine, juice, pizza, music, quiet corners, table tennis and table football.
03Your visit
Getting in, and getting around
The club says the entrance is on the south side of the site. It describes much of the grounds as wheelchair accessible and says there is a wheelchair-accessible toilet inside the building.
The Sektgarten runs from May to September, usually Tuesday to Friday from 17:00, with free entry. Children are welcome with a supervising adult and dogs must be kept on a lead. It is closed for the winter.
04Music & atmosphere
A programme published as a monthly flyer
://about blank publishes its nights as one designed sheet per month, posted as an image on its site with each date, the party's name and the artists. It is not a list of event pages and there are no ticket links on it.
Because the programme exists only as that printed image, KONNEKTION does not copy single dates from it. Open the club's own preview page for the current month before you plan a night.
