Berlin\u2019s nightlife doesn\u2019t stop for much, but as <\/span>Covid-19 <\/span>spreads through the city, venues are starting to close their doors\u2014Berghain, one of the world\u2019s most revered techno temples,<\/span> announced<\/span><\/a> that all club events will be discontinued as a precaution until April 20. Although well-established venues will likely survive a temporary shutdown, Berlin\u2019s club commission warns that the city\u2019s smaller venues are likely to go bankrupt as they weigh up the closing of all clubs during the outbreak.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA shutdown of only a few weeks would inevitably lead to insolvency for most clubs,\u201d<\/span> \u00a0Clubcommission Berlin\u2014which represents close to 200 of the city\u2019s bars, clubs and event spaces\u2014said in a<\/span> statement<\/span><\/a> on the spread of the disease on Wednesday. \u201cThe Clubcommission has made contact with banks, and crowdfunding platforms, as well as the Berlin Senate, to provide a rescue fund for hardship cases.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As of Wednesday, the city had 81 reported<\/span> cases<\/span><\/a> with 1600 people in isolation, but 17 of these cases were from people who attended a party at Club Trompete in Berlin\u2019s Mitte district on 29 February\u00a0 and nine cases were linked to a party two days earlier at The Reed, creating caution among the city\u2019s nightlife community, especially for more hedonistic venues known for packing sweaty clubbers shoulder to shoulder. While Berghain and the performance art venue and club Traumabar und Kino have chosen to temporarily shutter their doors, other venues have chosen to stay open.<\/span><\/p>\n

KitKatClub,<\/span> posted<\/span><\/a> on 4 March that they the staff voted to keep the party going with a few changes to promote safety such as moving the coat check room to a larger space and creating an email list for clubbers so that everyone can be easily contacted should anyone become infected. This isn\u2019t the first time that the Kreuzberg club dealt with contagion risks. In 2018, there were <\/span>cases of bacterial meningitis<\/span><\/a> were connected to the venue, but the owners chose not to close down then either.<\/span><\/p>\n

The coronavirus could not come at a worse time for the Berlin club scene as the beloved Griessm\u00fchle club just closed in February to make room for office and apartment developments, while Salon zur Wilden Renate and About Blank will potentially be closed to make way for an Autobahn extension.<\/span><\/p>\n"}]},"yoast_head":"\nCoronavirus is proving a further threat to Berlin\u2019s endangered nightlife Coronavirus is proving a further threat to Berlin\u2019s endangered nightlife<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/coronavirus-berlin-endangered-nightlife-berghain\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Coronavirus is proving a further threat to Berlin\u2019s endangered nightlife Coronavirus is proving a further threat to Berlin\u2019s endangered nightlife\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/coronavirus-berlin-endangered-nightlife-berghain\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-03-12T15:15:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
