A place that takes your breath away: steel, city, concrete, dust. An architecture that puts you in shackles and at the same time opens up a space that is unparalleled in its vastness - oppressive and liberating at the same time.

In the beginning was heat: Originally, the Berlin-Mitte combined heat and power plant was actually intended as a source of heat. It's just as old as the Berlin Wall - built from 1960 to 1964 - and stood empty for a few years in the late 1990s. Detroit-savvy techno pioneer Dimitri Hegemann recognized the potential of the industrial building. In its belly, Hegemann's legendary techno club Tresor got a new home in 2006, followed a year later by OHM, two clubs that can easily swallow you up - and if you're not careful, sometimes digest you whole. Gradually, the rest of the building was remodeled as well. However, the raw charm was never lost. Today, it has become a sought-after cultural melting pot with a diverse program. Concerts and exhibitions by international artists take place in the Kraftwerk, as do festivals, art and food fairs, and the Berlin Fashion Week. A place of contradictory beauty, as brittle and sexy as the city itself. And one that you only understand when you experience it in different ways.
