Kraftwerk Berlin, Entertainment center in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.
Kraftwerk Berlin is an event venue housed in an industrial building with a massive turbine hall, concrete walls, and soaring ceilings in Berlin-Mitte. The space spans thousands of square meters of open floor area that can accommodate various types of performances and exhibitions with flexible setup options.
The building was constructed between 1961 and 1964 as a power station supplying heat and electricity to East Berlin's center until the facility closed in 1997. After its industrial operations ended, the hall was transformed into a cultural venue for contemporary use.
The venue attracts audiences from around Europe for electronic music events, sound art festivals, and experimental performances throughout the year. It has become a place where artists and visitors explore alternative forms of entertainment and creative expression in its raw industrial spaces.
The venue sits on Köpenicker Strasse with good public transport connections from various parts of the city. Visitors should know that the expansive hall has limited natural light and tends to be more comfortable during warmer months.
The interior retains original equipment from its era as a power station, including massive machinery and piping that remain visible as part of the space. The renowned Tresor techno club relocated here and brought vintage metal lockers from its previous location, now displayed as art pieces on the walls.
