DISTILLERY

In the location's words:

Welcome home!

Germany's oldest techno club is finally opening its doors to you again. Opened in 1992 in the former Kronen-Brauerei in Connewitz, the club had to change location several times and finally closed its doors in 2023, as the location in Kurt-Eisner-Straße was to be demolished.

But now the time has finally come and the OG of German techno history can finally do what it does best again: Make you dance 💃🕺
