Gaswerksiedlung is a renowned nightclub located in the Oberschöneweide district of Berlin, Germany. Established within the industrial backdrop of a former gasworks site, the venue has been closely associated with the vibrant electro and techno scenes that distinguish Berlin’s nightlife. The club emerged in the late 2010s, carved out from a labyrinth of warehouses and industrial structures originally built in the early 20th century.

Over time, Gaswerksiedlung has gained a reputation for its boundary-pushing curation, dedication to underground subcultures, and its non-commercial ethos, often described as echoing the spirit of Berlin’s earlier rave era. Not just a nightclub, Gaswerksiedlung has also acted as a creative commune, housing not only parties but also studios, workshops, and communal spaces, fostering a supportive ecosystem for artists and musicians. Its cultural significance is heightened by its role in preserving Berlin’s tradition of reclaiming and reimagining post-industrial spaces as incubators for creative experimentation.

The venue’s structure has evolved in accordance with these values, adapting unused gasworks buildings into immersive dancefloors and chillout zones while maintaining their raw, authentic charm. Despite pressures from city development and shifting nightlife trends, Gaswerksiedlung has remained in its original location, championing the preservation of alternative spaces in the face of gentrification and commercialization. The club’s unique environment and uncompromising musical programming have attracted a devoted local following and an international reputation as a hidden gem in Berlin’s nightlife landscape.

Notable artists who have performed at Gaswerksiedlung include international DJs such as Dasha Rush, Freddy K, Dr. Rubinstein, and The Hacker, as well as acclaimed local talents like Mareena, Alienata, Markus Suckut, and a variety of collectives such as Patterns of Perception and STAUB.
