On January 25, 2023, the Watergate club in Berlin was forced to close its doors due to financial difficulties. The club, which opened in 1992, was a popular destination for techno music lovers around the world. In recent years, however, the club has faced increasing competition from other clubs and music venues in Berlin. The Watergate's closure is a sign of the increasing challenges facing the techno club scene in Berlin. Due to rising rents, noise restrictions, and competition from other forms of entertainment, many techno clubs in Berlin are struggling to survive. The Watergate's closure has sparked outrage among techno music fans and club owners, who are calling on the Berlin government to take action to protect the city's techno culture. As techno music has its origins in Berlin and has long been part of the city's culture, fans are devastated to see it slowly starting to disappear.

The Left Faction in the Berlin House of Representatives has proposed a number of measures to help protect the techno club scene in Berlin. These measures include rent caps for clubs, noise restrictions that are more favorable to clubs, and financial support for clubs that are struggling financially. The Left Faction is also calling on the Berlin government to develop a comprehensive plan to protect the city's techno culture. The closure of the Watergate club is a wake-up call for the Berlin government. The city needs to take action to protect its techno culture before it is too late.

 

Techno music is an important part of Berlin's culture. It is a unique and vibrant music scene that attracts people from all over the world. The city needs to do everything it can to protect its techno culture and ensure that it continues to thrive for many years to come.
