Berlin to officially declare nightclubs as cultural institutions

Berlin is on track to officially declare its nightclubs as cultural institutions, RA reports. Having been previously classified as entertainment venues alongside brothels, arcades and casinos, the change in legal status will protect certain nightclubs in the German capital from gentrification, and means they will be permitted to open in more parts of the city. They will also benefit from tax breaks. According to the Live Musik Kommission, an almost unanimous vote on Wednesday, 5th May, declared in favour of the recommendation to change the status of nightclubs and live venues from entertainment sites to cultural sites. On Friday, 7th May, the recommendation will be presented at the Bundestag and, according to Die Linke politician Caren Lay, is expected to be signed off without debate.

Clubs are now cultural institutions in Germany

Lutz Leichsenring, Berlin’s Club Commission spokesperson, added: “This is the result of more than 20 years of nighttime advocacy in Berlin and at the federal level. This is an extraordinary decision and hopefully this example sets a worldwide precedent.” Members of the Club Commission previously argued that clubs are “the pulse of the city”, which bring three million people a year to Berlin. A recent study revealed that club visitors spent just under €1.5 billion (£1.26 billion) in 2018 alone. Despite this, over the last 10 years, approximately 100 clubs have closed in Berlin alone, with the figure now likely higher thanks to the pandemic. Although, clubs have got creative during lockdown, with Berghainopening as an art venue (featuring works by Olafur Eliasson, Wolfgang Tillmans, and more) and KitKatClub stepping up as a COVID-19 test centre.
