E-Werk, Event venue and architectural heritage monument in Berlin-Mitte, Germany
The former electrical substation spans nine levels with distinctive red brick walls and industrial design elements near Checkpoint Charlie.
Architect Hans Heinrich Müller designed this electrical substation between 1926 and 1928 to serve central Berlin districts including Friedrichstraße.
From 1993 to 1997, E-Werk stood as a central figure in Berlin's techno movement, hosting international DJs and weekly electronic music events.
The venue at Mauerstraße 78-80 maintains elements of the original electrical substation while offering spaces for contemporary events and exhibitions.
The quadrant-shaped control room remains as the earliest preserved architectural component of Germany's electrical industry infrastructure.
