Why it stands out
A courtyard complex since 2007
A Kreuzberg courtyard complex that has been running since 2007, with a published line-up months ahead and several hosted floors on the same ticket.

Butzke
A Kreuzberg factory courtyard turned club
01The experience
A courtyard first, a club second
Ritter Butzke sits in a Kreuzberg industrial courtyard and the club says it originated there in 2007. The yard is part of the experience: people gather outside between rooms as much as they stay on one floor.
The club runs several floors on the same evening. Its own FAQ states that where more than one event runs on a night, a ticket gives access to all open floors.
Plan your night
Admission & reservations
Ritter Butzke runs its own door and entry. KONNEKTION does not take table bookings here — Berlin club nights are standing, door-and-ticket events.
02The setting
Several rooms, one ticket
The building keeps its factory bones — brick, high ceilings, a yard you walk through to reach the music. Rooms are decorated rather than rebuilt, and each floor on a busy night can be hosted by a different crew.
Because the floors are hosted separately, the room you start in is rarely the room you finish in. Treat a Ritter Butzke listing as a building's programme, not a single stage.
03Your visit
Bring ID, and expect a queue
The club states that entry to its club events is not possible under 18, that a valid photo ID must be brought, and that parental permission slips (“Muttizettel”) are not accepted.
Tickets are sold through the club's own shop. If a ticket does not arrive, the club asks you to check the spam folder first; staff at the entrance can help if you give the name and the email address used for the order.
04Music & atmosphere
Named guests, published in advance
Unlike several Berlin clubs, Ritter Butzke announces its headliners well ahead. Its published programme runs months out, from weekly club nights to label and promoter showcases.
What the club does not publish is the running order. The FAQ states that the timetable is not published in advance and that exact playtimes can be checked on site.

Before you go
ID, tickets and no set times
Buy from the club's own ticket shop, bring photo ID, and do not plan around a set time: Ritter Butzke does not publish its timetable before the night.
