Waschhaus, Nightclub and architectural heritage monument in Schiffbauergasse, Potsdam, Germany
Waschhaus is a nightclub and cultural venue located in the artistic district of Schiffbauergasse in Potsdam. The restored building hosts concerts, exhibitions, film screenings, and dance events throughout the year.
The venue began in 1992 as a community project housed in the former laundry rooms of a military garrison. Over time it grew to become one of Brandenburg's largest nightclubs.
The establishment presents concerts, exhibitions, films, and dance workshops, featuring performances from German bands like Blumfeld and international artists throughout the year.
The venue is located in the artistic district and can be easily found through the official website for event information. It is advisable to check the schedule in advance since the programming varies depending on the season and day.
The building was converted from a former laundry facility, a detail reflected in its name and industrial roots. This unexpected origin from a utilitarian structure to a cultural center is part of what makes the space memorable.
