SESH

Neulich am Flughafen is a prominent nightclub located in Berlin, Germany, well known for its unique blend of underground clubbing culture and communal spirit. Opened in 2021, the venue originally started as a creative extension of the Neukölln-based Neulich brewery, which had already garnered a loyal following for its craft beer and alternative meeting spaces. Situated near the former Tempelhof Airport—a symbol of Berlin’s historical and cultural transformation—Neulich am Flughafen quickly distinguished itself as both a club and a cultural hub, hosting a wide range of electronic music events, art exhibitions, and community gatherings.

The venue has gained a reputation for its inclusive, unpretentious atmosphere and its commitment to supporting local initiatives and sustainability efforts, carving a niche for itself in a city saturated with storied clubbing institutions. Over time, Neulich am Flughafen expanded its physical space, adding open-air dance floors and collaborative art installations, while occasionally reconfiguring its layout to suit Berlin’s dynamic party scene and comply with city regulations. The club’s rustic, industrial aesthetic and strong DIY ethos echo Berlin’s post-reunification rave culture, fostering a sense of creative freedom that attracts both residents and visitors.

Its cultural significance is underscored by its support for grassroots artists and emphasis on community engagement, making it not only a party destination but also a breeding ground for local talent and underground movements. Notable artists who have performed at Neulich am Flughafen include international acts such as DJ Hell, Ellen Allien, and Miss Kittin, as well as Berlin favorites like Tama Sumo, DJ Seinfeld, and Sarah Farina. The venue has also featured emerging local artists like Marlon Hoffstadt, Mabutana, and members of the Klangbiotop and Sisyphos crews, further cementing its role as a vital player in Berlin’s ever-evolving nightlife scene.
