Berghain Berlin - The walk of shame
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Flash interview of people who were forced to go somewhere else after not getting allowed to go to the Berghain Club after waiting for more than one hour! This walk from entrance till the end of the row is called "The Walk of Shame"
And these guys also didnt get in XD
Everyone saying they turn away people for no reason clearly have no clue about the experience of the club and also just how number works. The club has a capacity of 2500 people roughly, doubled on NYD, birthday and O-ton night. Around 10,000 people try to get in every single weekend. Bearing in mind that if you get the stamp (or the wristband now), you can come back in and out as you please, it is not sustainable to let everyone in.
Also as a club gets popular, you get more and more posers that want to get in to say they've been, whilst they will ruin the safe space that is inside (women fully naked, guys fucking each other in a line, cubicle session of 12 people, guy that drinks your pee...). So letting people by order of arrival is not an option.
The door policy is not to create a false sense of exclusivity, it has always been there because Berghain originated from Snax, a very decadent gay party that wouldn't have survived had they let the straight take over the club because "it's cool." At the end of the day, the door policy is here to protect the people who are inside, but also to protect some tourist that think they are up for it but would scream at the thought of having a gay guy touch their thighs.
Unfortunately, they have about 10 second to decide if you are one of them, and even tho you might not be, there will be collateral damage. Yes you might queue for three hours and risk being turned away, but you know what you are signing yourself for when you go.
I've been there last weekend for the first time and the door policy isn't only about the fact wether you're into techno or not. They also check if you can handle perversities, won't look weird when you see naked men/women dancing/making out in front of you and if your own mindset is also open to such behaviour (you have to have an edge). The feeling inside is indescribable, since everyone seems to have this same open/kinky mindset sexually regardless wether you are straight or gay as well as musically.
+Haxanlord You are right. The three girls look like they have no idea what they we're about to walk into
YES !
Cary Groneveldt if you don‘t like it don‘t go inside. some people like to have adventures, don‘t blame others for not beeing as boring as you are.
@@AqierDesigns 🤣🤣🙏🙏😋
That's an idealistic approach of the matter. In real life, you must have Marvel/DC crossover super powers and abilities, to conceive all these in a glimpse and be a bouncer at the same time...
vom berghain ins matrix, da hat er aber mal gut selektiert :D
dacht ich mir auch:D
Indeed
Hab ich mir auch gedacht
lmao
bananenking 😂
The funny thing is that they go to "matrix" afterwards, which shows that they just didn't really know what berghain culture and berlin techno is. Because berghain plays totally different music then matrix and matrix is an edm club.
wow.... really? I can't think of ANYONE right now that likes both edm and techno. The few edm people i know al hate techno, don't like it. Al the people i know that like techno and go to party's HATE the shit out of edm. (like me ). Why would you go to a edm generic music boring stuff matrix club after wanting to go in to berghain. Sounds like a shitty backup-plan.
holy shit aahhah XD So i thought lets watch a video from Matric Berlin. The first SECOND the music begins you can already here a shitty edm shitstorm is coming. xD No really i would not want those of people in a Berghain club if i would be in Berghain.
I like EDM and techno. I like industrial music. I also like death/black metal. I know others that are like me and listen to a lot of different genres. Not everyone is elitist and think you have to stick to one genre.
With that said, Matrix is a shitty club.
sadade32 woahw... you like EDM and even you said Matrix is a shitty club. Then to me, it must be the shits of ALL shits.
Dougy doug To be fair I've only been there once but I just thought it was kind of a boring club.
All the negative remarks are probably from people who didn't get in. I been clubbing for 25 years and last week I went to Berghain. It was the 10 year birthday party, so the queues were even longer than usually, but after a little ver 3 hours (!) I finally made it to the front. The young and handsome Norwegian guys before me all got refused, but for some reason I made it in. And I immediately knew it had been worth the wait. Berghain is probably the best club I ever been too. Coolest crowd ever, and they don't seem to care about being cool. No VIP bullshit, no expensive drinks, no mobile phones, no mirrors. Just a bunch of people who wanna dance the night away.
And for people who need to moan abut the door policy, you clearly don't get it. Berghain is a club where anything goes, it started with a gay club called Snax, and the club is still very gay friendly. I wouldn't call it a gay club, nor a straight club, just a club where anything goes. So you see all kinds of people, extreme, hedonistic, and no one cares. If you'd let in all the tourist this unique atmosphere would be killed in no time, there would be too many spectators - people that just come to watch. Keep it up Berghain, I'll definitely be back soon!
+Michael Nieuwenhuizen berghain is gay club or for every body i don't anderstand
I can see them standing around and sipping their drink watching
What’s their drug policy then ;)
Yeah you would have a different saying if they didn't let you in..
mado obviously that goes without saying, the experience of Bergheim has such a lasting affect on people. It’s understandable he’d have such a strong positive view if the club is truly that good. Otherwise as you said he’d probably be making a comment about how hard it was to attempt to get in. What you don’t understand is the fact that obviously people would be making those types of comments probably because they waisted their time understandably so, however they’re also speaking with ignorance because they never got to experience Bergheim for themselves so they probably feel that it’s overrated and a waste of time.
How could they let in a girl wearing an Hard Rock Cafe t-shirt..? :D
😂😂🙏🏾
She wanted to stand out, what if she dressed as a nun?
@@Wellch She would probably have better chances of entering
@@Wellch Then they would probably let her it, no joke the weirder you are the higher chances of entering.
Dont judge a book by its cover. Lol
I want to share my specific experience getting into Berghain. I was an American tourist. I was alone. There was a friendly American couple from Prague that were in line behind me. We had a great chat and they were very attractive. 60% of people were being turned away at the door quickly, for no obvious reason. It was INTENSE. When it was my turn, the two bouncers looked at me for about 10 seconds...then they started chatting with eachother in German for about 2 minutes while looking back and forth at me... FINALLY one of them looks at me and sternly says, "DO YOU SPEAK?", so I smiled and loudly said "HALLO!!!", which was one of 10 German words that I knew :) Then they waved me inside. The nice couple behind me did not get in.
How did you dress?
Caressa Clark probably, because you are gay.
@Chaz Dadkhah XDD
pretty sure they were not discussing for 2 whole minutes if they would let YOU in
@@KaptainKerl
So hostile towards a complete stranger over an internet comment made 6 years ago. So glad I got in. Had an amazing time.
if they went to matrix later, selection worked perfectly 👏😂😅
Berghain isn't about being 'cool' it's about maintaining the most intimate relationship with you and the music and who else is in the club. The bouncers do a great job at this in their door selection, in turn making their jobs easier in the long run by not letting in people that will cause trouble, as well as making the most mixed, and perfect atmosphere. I have only been once, and I went with the intention of not getting in, but I got in and it was a great experience and I met some great ppl.
inside it did you came across with people of color and other nationalities?
@@rafaelfranca2212 What kind of question is that? I got in 4 times and I have seen numerous people of color. Just because it is in Germany doesn’t mean it is a nazi party lol.
People who wants to go to Matrix Club don’t belong to Berghain. Bouncer did everything correctly
This!
Because you can't like two different kinds of music?
The only reason techno exists in the first place is mdma anyways.
Italians speaking to Belgians in English in Germany. Makes sense
the alternative was the gesture
How else would they speak? They are tourists
True, I wonder why they weren’t speaking Esperanto or using sign language like everyone else?
English is probably the only language the have in common, so it makes perfectly sense
It's one of the most universal languages. What did you expect them to use?
Lol the club bouncer did them a service actually. They would have more fun at the matrix
3 max is allowed; that is not really the reason that they were "denied"
I love this place. I wanted to literally pack all my furniture up and move into Berghain.
I felt the same when I was there!
Getting out of Berghain is definitely hard then getting in!
+Caressa Clark Can you describe what its like being inside? I am american and just hoping one day I will visit and gain entry.
TheMattd546
It wasn't like that when I was there. But there were some dark shady looking corners and spaces where I am sure things went on. There were a few men walking around in tiny sexy underwear. Most people were dressed very normal and plain. Though I would not be surprised if sex parties did go on there. I left at 8 a.m., and the place was still totally full. Apparently they party until 2 in the afternoon or so. I can't wait to go back.
Stupid MAN2488
Sorry for the late response.
Inside, it is the best place ever. I would describe it as a gigantic S&M dungeon/nightclub. It feels grimy, in a good way. Everything from the crowd, to the sound system, to the lights, to the interior, is simply the best. I'm not sure how they decide who they let in and who they do not let in, but they do a great job, because the vibe is perfect. However if you do not get in on your first try, I will try again on another night. It's worth it. If you've already been, I hope you had a great time.
Try some further techno clubs in Berlin and Germany in the future, not only the overhyped ones. Maybe you will be surprised.
Come on, those three girls were quite an "obvious" victim for Mr. Marquardt.....and besides: you just don't go to Berghain with the Hard Rock Cafè T-shirt!!!!!!!!!!
why not, could be your edge? ;)
Judging a book by it's cover much.
Can't show up to a rave without your raver uniform...
Lmao, y'all are talking about this like it's the Navy SEALs.
There is no special way of getting in.
They look at you and have to make a judgement call on whether you will get it or not. its as simple as that. More often than not they get it right.
The only mistake they make is turning good people away, but I don't begrudge them for that because they never let dick heads in.
Long live the door policy!
Is all so random... it seems from the comments that every person has had a different experience while queuing. We went pretty early but wait at the surroundings until there was a bit of queue, didn't want to be the first ones, I can tell you he bouncers go around and sit down to start catching people who will later show up on the queue. My friend and I tried to look bored and not spoke loud even if we weren't queuing. We went to the queue at 23.30 more less and they opened gates at 00.00 even when the event on fb said they would open at 21.00 found it weird though... people skipped the queue in a very cheeky and confident way and most of the people in front of us got in expect th most evident non-techno alike people. Groups and random people. Everyone looked ahead, never turning back never staring at any other person but there was also many people wearing chic grunge style expensive clothes with an eclectic touch. As someone said you have to look old and that you fit in that atmosphere rather than the number of people you're in with and the clothes you wear.
Thats aweful! Why do you film vertically???
You might have found out meanwhile
Actually. they should go to KitKat. It's a nice place, not too shabby.
i get there for this nye, and i understand why they dont let some ppl inside.. not everyone ready for what happens inside :))) cant wait to come back
Some ppl can be duchbags...
I said the same when i got in but after 7 times there the same bouncer rejected me !! So don’t understand how they choose
Wouldn't that be their own problem?
hmm. a video of failing at picking up some pissed off girls. Now THATS a shame ;)
And of course the security was right again. These women are clearly not made for berghain. They way they dress isn’t the culture of the club, the fact that they’re going to Matrix club afterwards (shit club for tourists) also show that they’re at berghain just for the hype and not because they belong. I’m not a huge berghain fan, but that place has a history, a specific club with its own culture and behavior and it’s this culture and the vibe and comfort of those WHO BELONG there that are the reason for the strict door policy. To prevent a bunch of outsiders in this place that is an important home for so many for decades. I’m not it’s target audience either but I’ve never been rejected at the door because I clearly put a vibe that matches the energy. Sounds snobbish but it’s not, it’s all about making the residents feel comfortable and not surrounded by curious tourists. You have to match the energy, and culture, that means having the right behavior and aesthetic which if you know berghain, these women clearly don’t.
Never judge a book by it's cover.
🤣🤣🤣dummes Gesabbel
Yeah, you have to wear your rave uniform when dancing to techno... 🙄
Got turned away the first time with an old Italian girlfriend. Got in the second time, moved away from my mates who made a lot of noise in the queue, then said I was on my own to the bouncers and they let me in. Best buzz ever walking past the bouncers and entering the madness. Got in with two friends another time, we showed up at 9am on a Sunday and rang the doorbell. Dude opened the door and let us in no problem.. didnt leave until 8am the following morning.
Just out of curioisty, what did you do in there for 25 hours?
@@MaxTedium Drugs
omg these comments
@@MaxTedium a barbecue
Und wenn sie am Matrix abgewiesen werden, dann gehen sie zum Q-Dorf. lol
Between the Berghain and the Matrix is a hard hard fall..
HAHA: we go to matrix!
LOL
actually i think that the bouncers saved their night! if they go to matrix they will not like the berghain at all!
Its not a bad thing to be denied from this place. It's disgusting and people who partake in such activities should be avoided under any circumstances, modern civilization is doomed and places like these are just symptoms of sickness and decline!
I was a party maniac at one time in my life i regret many things now i once went on a gay club in london i seriosly had to soak my body frl three days to remove the filth of the air in that place
I went with a pink shirt, they accepted me. You just have to look gay.
Why are you angry?
Of course there's a lot of amazing places in Berlin.
I'm just tellin' you there's no rules for Berghain.
And this is a unique place in the world. Every time i go in, it's different, magical. And everytime i'm affraid of the choise of Sven at the door.
Wow , so many people on here acting like they know it all:)
They look like a bizarre erasmus group of friends
Those gals werent allowed cos the bhain was too much for them. Theyd never be the same after that. Even for me, a trained partyman with several bouts on my resumee did this club severely damaged my brain and ankles. XD
Lasereyes
Berghain und Matrix das ist so wie Fleisch und Gemüse. :D
Wouldn’t even waste my time if I was in Berlin to try get into there
But losing it watching the video and writing a comment...yes?
people who bash berghain have clearly never been inside or have little knowledge of lables, techno and djing. its not a place for the average people and they cant let everyone in because it would be too full. if you really want to go, buy some tickets for a presale party, like the promote diversity party, guaranteed entry. but the crowd and atmosphere on sunday evening is the best.
pietz911 no nessercerily do they have no knowledge about techno, labels etcs. seems like absolute snobbery to me.
totally understand they only want a certain crowd but i could imagine me being turned away after travelling from UK alone as thats what i would take to go.
would be such a let down to be declined and i have a massive techno history and no longer dress edgy as im a parent of 2 kids trying to settle into a normal life. dont have to be an unusual dresser to know or deserve to be involved in just a techno club night.
seems like bad snobbery to me. top much power trips declining tourists who 'deserve' to be there. spent thousands since the 90s on tresor records etc
Thomas sttt no body NEEDs to let you in smh, they’re in their right to let whomever they want in as it is their club. I’m sick of people whining about it, you aren’t entitled to entry.
I bash North Korea without having been there, lol.
Waiting in line for 5 hours wearing yozr rave uniform to be judged by the rave officers is exactly the opposite of what I'm looking for in a rave.
well yeah, let´s go to hard rock café and then berghain
I dont get it why everyone wants to go there so bad... its just a club for f sake.
+TheMattd546 so you obviously didn't get the whole concept of this club.
so... whats the concept? what makes the club so unusual and special?
its a place where you can totally just be yourself, enjoy the music and forget the world around you
And you only can do that in the most overhyped, exclusivity-pretending club? Come on, exactly the opposite is the case.
Im from Berlin, its because Berghain is trendy. a lot of people who are born in Berlin or lived there for a very long time dont even care about Berghain, its just the perfect place for pretentious hipster tourists nowadays.
Quite interesting how perfect the bouncers did their job.. To queue for bergs and get rejected, and for your 2nd best option to be matrix(literallly the worst club in Berlin), Says absolutely everything you need to know.. it's actually quite annoying for people who live here in Berlin, genuinely want to go the club ans know we are getting, to have to queue with morons, who only want to queue, just to say they did it.. it's people like this making the queue 4 hours long
"most famous place"...for Easyjet ravers around 25 for sure.
it must be so annoying for the bouncers to reject people like this day in and day out
they did them a pleasure to reject them haha
i usd to go voodoo on my own when i was 16.
38 soon and for a lot of these people wouldnt even know about voodoo as it was before the internet. still got loads of posters from like 92ish onwards i think.
drum machines making techno in 1998 when i was 18 with a decent vinyl collection of tresor and detroit etc... raves in mid 90s even though i knew my bedroom door would be taken off its hinges by my dad when i arrive home hundreds of miles away days later... still had to go.
worked as a manager 4 years in vivienne westwood fashion very few people in city dressed as edgy or outhere as me but now i would be casually dressed if i went up there with loads of producer harware going through my hands each month and making minimal techno again on vintage hardware only out of respect for the 90s techno vibe that i dont get with software or current hardware.....
i would still be declined!!!!! fuck that. where did the snobbery appear from. all at the hands of a bouncer.
the people who get in all saying people who dont wouldnt understand?????? bizzare loss to this club i think
They have to insist on that alleged exclusiveness, because culturally they did'nt invent anything on their own.
@@IlluminatedDisplays what a door policy conundrum we all have :D i get it tho , they check your vibe, iof you are okay with yourself within yoursle fnad everybody around you and look the part and loving the music helps
and commitment and trial and error
people who go to matrix as an alternative would not have felt comfortable in berghain anyway
these are the people who only want to go to berghain because it is well known and not because of the music
i understand what they are trying to do but lets face it a pick and choose policy is not very accurate for people who are genuinely there for the music if you ask me people are being judged techno is not only for germans what if three guys in wheelchairs turn up one with a david guetta t shirt on the other a hardwax berlin t shirt and the last one with a gimp mask who gets in?
than goin matrix... thanks god the didnt got in shit tourists
Better you learn english before speaking about 'shit tourists'.
ignorant people like you shouldn't even go into Berghain ;)
Look at this shitty guy "isaac", he's replying on every berghain vids... Man, go get a life plssssss. Ur allowed into berghain? WOW DUDE SO FUCKIN COOOL !!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW ur my new god now huh? :)
funny how people in Berlin hate tourists. I wonder what they feel like when they travel. German tourists are literally everywhere, it would be cool if people in Berlin stopped being so snobbish with tourists. arrogant assholes.
Cary Groneveldt no. because berghain is techno. matrix is just a mainstream club where people go to have a fun night. berghain doesn‘t want those noobies who get drunk and don‘t have the techno spirit. berghain wants the ravers, those who dance for 12h + and yes are trippin and rolling. and there are other clubs that have the same vibe, but if matrix is your next option after berghain, you simply are going into the most known clubs, you neither care bout music, raves or the people. all they care about is to tell others that they‘ve been there.
hands down to the doorkeeper, he‘s a master in his job.
@@errico3 Nice Generalization! Thanks! #not
The people who made this video are a joke. It's only a club .
These Belgians are sad.
is there nothing better to do on a friday night, than standing in the rain only to go home an hour later?!
its closed on fridays
They want to keep the tourists out, wearing a Hard Rock Cafe t shirt probably wasn't the best choice love.
When you get in, you'll understand.
Queste so italiane ahahaha
From Berghain to matrix. Ahahahaha 😂
I bet the bouncer doesn't like people with demoniac red eyes!
They don't match the Berghain vibe, same with the people filming.
When you are in a group of three one can get left out and left alone... and with high people you don't want fucked up people in your club who are alone... Buddy system.
kyle nicholson it all depends... I went there two days ago and in front of us there was a group of three, one of the girls looked like Gigi hadid perfect hair, perfect minimalistic black, the guy who was with the two girls was wearing minimalistic black style clothes and the backpack and was the one to show up to the bouncers first, they asked him how many people they were and he said three and they all got in even when the third girl had nothing to do with the club and was acting like a stupid
If you can't tell she's Italian after the gesture at 0:36 I can't help you
I could tell immediately from the clothes and face, they look like the typical Italian girls who study at university and go to berghain because they read it in internet and probably don't even like techno.
Source: I'm Italian
so much for openness, and it lets people out..... based on judgeing them for who they are.... and not accepting them . the opposit e of oppeness. not about the music at all...
The openness is just bla bla bla, but anyway i was at hype festival in Berlin when you can just buy a ticket and enter, that day i understood why they make so much selection in Berlin clubs, there are just too many tourists and lot of them don't belong in a techno club.
If you don't enter in berghain try Sisyphos or tresor or one of the many other clubs.
@@Flbari
How is your fun restricted by "tourists"? I would like to have "tourists" around stuff I enjoy. Just tell people not to take photos of people snorting lines and you're fine.
The Berghain is defiantly not for u girlz!!!
the middle one.
Tip to how to get in : don’t look like a virgin kid from a out of town !
The castle of red eye people....
If you didn't get in, you didn't miss anything. Let me share my experience: I basically got dragged to BH because a friend was close to DJ with good connections to BH. We got in through a side entrance of the club where only staff normally has access to. The crowd was on various combinations of stimulants, dissociatives, depressants and psychedelics. Some people did a bit too much I guess and lost control of their body movements, it took quite a while till security would come to help them. Not sure what happened to them after.
The music was fine: not better, not worse than in many other techno clubs. The crowd I came across and talked to were mainly foreign tourists loving techno and wearing black make- up, goth style. People raved and seemed to enjoy their trip.
Personally, what turned me off was the strong, active cultural promotion - by visitors and staff - (allegedly enjoying) sodomy in the darker areas of the club and in the bathrooms. - Good luck with you health!
As I didn't feel that this is a healthy set and setting for experimenting with any substances, I decided to stay sober. We left after (only) staying in for about 3h.
Overall:
- some people were positive, sharing good vibes
- some were clearly mentally unstable, and annoying,
- many felt priviliged and hyped that they got in and thereby they also would accept things they would not in other places.
- the sets were fine
- drinks were average
- overall not quite an average place 3.5/5
This reads like a vintage berghain review from someone whos never actually been there. Literally people are so sad.
(allegedly enjoying) was the best part.
And Sven is not always there, when I went there was a blonde guy who looked like taken directly from hell and was talking to a small group of people and the bouncers were two fatty guys
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha from berghain to matrix is quite a step..
I would not have let those 3 tourists in either.
I got in berghain in 2014 and left pretty quickly tbf. The gay stuff was really hardcore and i just didn't feel easy at all.
Matrix after Berghain…i mean…almost the same 😄
They did expect to walk into the cool Berghain and take some cool party pictures with their Iphones to upload them on facebook.
@MultiLucSan i dont believe she actually said that!! lol they really should be banned from Berghain forever!!
Got to MBIA. Nice techno floor, main area is a bit tiny. Great atmosphere, seams a bit more private. Oh and smokers, many smokers in there which is whack because the ventilation could be better. besides that you will get really good techno.
The fact that they want go to MATRIX afterwards says it all. Most trash club in Berlin.
2022, I’d they have to be more selective with people coming in. So many people that doesn’t belong there are in. Appearance is not enough, you need the mindset too. You have to be berghain to be in berghain!
Three little girly girls like that, you kidding me... :D no chance to get in :D
Uiteindelijk binnen geraakt?
comments lol, sometime u get in and not. that's why this place is more special than most places.
negative comments from folks that never been in Berlin at all lol
the 3 good high school graduates are too conservative for the berghain they drink 2 water and that's it , the girls look like visitors to a veggie resto.
@vanpersie08 so im an american stationed in europe and ive heard about this place from a couple different ppl, im just wondering if you can maybe take a min to give me some information on the place, some tips perhaps cuz i would hate to make the trip all the way there from bavaria just to be let down...thanks!
Tresor also has same vibe, ja oder nein x)
What did they expect?😂
They barely pass the door of a "regural" club!
Matrix looks square AF. They don't look like they'll fit in at Berghain as they're quite conventional. Hard Rock Cafe T shirt won't help, maybe it's the 'edgiest' thing she had.
Even if I got in I guarantee I’d hate whatever music they played. Germans have their own thing going on
Timon Kotzem explained to you very well.
U dont get in if u filming or am i too dumb to see sarcasm here?
From my experience, you pretty much just need to be a degenerate in order to get in easily. It's all about weird kinks and fetishes in there. Also it smells really bad. We were super excited initially, but left after like 1,5 hours. Berlin has a lot to offer in terms of nightclubs though! Will definitely return to this city one day 😁
Chick with the glasses is cute af :P
i still not in the club .. but i hate to wait 3 hour .... is toomuch ...
tresor is good alternative
I was reading some comments saying they are selective too. I guess the whole berlin techno culture is about turn away people they don't like the face
Because non of you look like you belong inside😉
why?
Haha vom berghain zum Matrix.
Das ist so als würde man von der Titanic is ein schlauchboot wollen
Riesen pupillen die weiber xD
Nicht wirklich
1 second to see why they wont get in lol
0:39 What's her Insta?
haha vom berghain ins matrix da stimmt was nicht :D
Next time try it with a "Trump for President" tee-shirt, it's the only idea worse than a Hard-Rock Café one ;)
Did you get in?
I have been 2 weeks ago in berlin for a week and entered to berghain...no prob if you are dressed right and if they feel that you belong to the culture it is easy!
Haci ne var orada, tuttugunla foreplay mi yapiliyor?
Gotta wear your raver uniform to be a legit raver...
im allways on guestlist hahahahaha
I don't really care what people do but im not trying to go to a sex club. I like techno clubs. Sex is for after the club before you finally go to sleep.
