Klunkerkranich is a unique and iconic rooftop nightclub and cultural venue situated atop the Neukölln Arcaden shopping center in the Neukölln district of Berlin, Germany. Established in 2013, Klunkerkranich was founded by an ambitious collective with a vision to transform an otherwise underutilized parking garage roof into a communal urban oasis. The name "Klunkerkranich" roughly translates to "the jeweled crane," a reference both to the panoramic perspectives offered from its lofty perch and to the space’s whimsical, eclectic spirit.

The venue quickly gained popularity not only for its expansive, panoramic views of Berlin’s skyline, especially captivating at sunset, but also for its laid-back atmosphere, creative landscaping with urban gardens, and its exceptional programming that straddles music, art, and local culture. Over the years, Klunkerkranich has become a symbol of Berlin’s dedication to reclaiming unconventional urban spaces for public enjoyment and artistic expression, embodying the city’s fiercely independent and DIY ethos. While the core location atop Neukölln Arcaden has remained consistent, the venue has periodically evolved, with various improvements in design, expanded gardens, and enhanced infrastructure to accommodate a broader array of events and year-round visitors.

The club is equally famous for its commitment to fostering both emerging and established talents, offering a diverse program that ranges from DJ sets and live concerts to art exhibitions and family-friendly gatherings. Its open-air dance floors, rustic decor, and community-focused initiatives have secured its status as a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike, representing the ever-changing but always vibrant Berlin nightlife landscape. Notable artists who have performed at Klunkerkranich include internationally recognized DJs such as Acid Pauli, Mira, Kotelett & Zadak, Rampue, and Nico Stojan, as well as local Berlin talents like Akirahawks, Ruede Hagelstein, Janis, Johnny Blake, and Sarah Farina.

The venue often hosts genre-spanning sets covering electronic, house, downtempo, jazz, and world music, providing a launching pad for aspiring artists and a beloved home for seasoned performers.
