Panke is a renowned multidisciplinary venue and nightclub located in the Wedding district of Berlin, Germany. Established in 2010, Panke emerged as an independent and community-driven space, quickly earning a reputation for its eclectic programming and open-minded ethos. The venue is housed in the old industrial complex known as Gerichtshöfe, which retains much of its rugged and creative atmosphere, making it a distinctive spot in Berlin’s nightlife and cultural scene.

Unlike many mainstream clubs in the city, Panke has always emphasized inclusivity, collaboration, and grassroots innovation. Its core focus has been on experimental music, hip-hop, electronic beats, and visual arts, serving as a vital community hub for artists, DJs, and collectives from both local and international backgrounds. Over the years, Panke has expanded its reach to incorporate not just club nights, but also workshops, exhibitions, talks, and food-focused gatherings such as the popular Panke Kitchen events.

The venue has maintained its original location, although it has gradually expanded its facilities within the building to accommodate growing audiences and new creative projects. Through all its evolutions, Panke has played a significant role in supporting emerging cultural movements within Berlin and providing a platform for diverse artistic voices, especially those often marginalized in mainstream nightlife settings. Notable artists who have performed at Panke include internationally recognized names such as Kutmah, Sam Binga, and DJ Rashad, alongside influential local talent like Figub Brazlevič, Waldo The Funk, Sarah Farina, Soulmind, and the Berlin Boom Orchestra.

The venue has also hosted events with collectives such as Through My Speakers and BeatGeeks, further solidifying its reputation as a cradle for underground and cutting-edge culture in Berlin.
