Alt-Stralau 70 – Berlin, Germany
Born from an unrenovated apartment building in Friedrichshain, across the river from Treptower Park.
Renate has three main dance floors: Schwarzer Raum on the ground floor, mainly focussing on techno. Then upstairs there is Grüner Raum where it’s all about house, and Roter Raum for all things slow, weird and trippy disco.
The atmosphere is that of a theatrical house party. The booking is a mixture of international and local artists. A large outdoor courtyard is open during the summer, which provides another bar with food and plenty of space to hang out.
Renate will likely have to close at the end of 2025 due to expiry of the lease agreement.
