Kindl Brauerei Neukölln, located in the vibrant Berlin district of Neukölln, is a venue that embodies the city’s rich tradition of repurposing industrial spaces for contemporary cultural life. The building originally housed the Kindl Brewery, established in the late 19th century and once one of Berlin’s major beer producers. After ceasing operations as a working brewery in the early 2000s, the sprawling complex underwent significant renovations and reinventions, emerging as a multidisciplinary venue that seamlessly integrates elements of nightlife, art, and community gathering.

Kindl Brauerei Neukölln quickly developed a reputation for its atmospheric industrial backdrop, spacious dance floors, and innovative programming that attracts a diverse, energetic crowd. The venue is not only significant for its contribution to Berlin’s dynamic club culture, but also for its role in fostering local art scenes and hosting experimental exhibitions under the auspices of the KINDL – Centre for Contemporary Art, which occupies another part of the brewery. Over the years, the structure has evolved, preserving its characteristic red-brick façade and grand brewing halls while adapting interiors to accommodate electronic music events, concerts, and immersive art installations.

Thanks to its cultural relevance and iconic setting, Kindl Brauerei Neukölln stands out as a symbol of Berlin’s ethos: merging history with avant-garde expression and maintaining openness to subcultural innovation. Notable artists who have performed at Kindl Brauerei Neukölln include international DJs such as Nina Kraviz, Marcel Dettmann, and Ben Klock, alongside local Berlin luminaries like Sama’ Abdulhadi, Sedef Adasi, and Nick Höppner. The venue has also hosted experimental performances and live sets from acts such as Modeselektor, Fjaak, and KMRU, further cementing its reputation as a key touchpoint for both global and homegrown electronic music talent.
