MUENZE is a prominent nightclub located in
Munich, Germany, known officially as "Die Münze," which translates to "The Mint", referencing its historical roots as a former minting facility. Situated in an industrial site, the club has become a cultural cornerstone for Munchen’s vibrant electronic music scene. Established in the early 2010s, MUENZE quickly earned a reputation as one of
Munich's most progressive venues, combining cutting-edge sound design, immersive lighting, and a distinctive industrial ambiance that pays homage to its historic premises.
The venue emerged as a haven for techno, house, and experimental music lovers, often attracting a diverse, open-minded crowd that values both inclusivity and musical innovation.
Over the years, MUENZE has undergone several changes to accommodate its growing popularity and evolving artistic vision. While it has always remained in its original industrial quarter, the internal structure has seen significant enhancements such as expanding dancefloors, upgrading sound systems, and developing additional chill-out and art spaces.
These improvements have only strengthened its status as a multi-sensory destination for
Munich’s nightlife, drawing nightclub veterans and newcomers alike. MUENZE’s significance extends beyond music; it has hosted exhibitions, workshops, and community gatherings, cementing its place as a multidisciplinary cultural institution. The club’s forward-thinking approach, commitment to diversity, and firm anti-discrimination policies have contributed to its sterling reputation, making it a crucial part of Germany's broader club culture.
Notable artists who have performed at MUENZE include international electronic heavyweights like Ben Klock, Dixon, Ellen Allien, and Charlotte de Witte, alongside celebrated local talents such as DJ Hell, Julietta, TSVI, and Sedef Adasi. Regular appearances from collectives like
