Berlin\u2019s Nightlife Evolution: Inside the Launch of FOUND at the Historic Schultheiss Brewery<\/h1>\n

Berlin\u2019s legendary clubbing landscape has gained a massive new player. Located in the heart of Tempelhof-Sch\u00f6neberg, a sprawling industrial site has been reborn as FOUND<\/strong>, a versatile music venue and cultural hub. This ambitious project breathes new life into the former Schultheiss brewery, a location steeped in local nightlife lore.<\/p>\n

A Legacy Reimagined<\/h2>\n

The site is perhaps best remembered by veteran ravers as the home of the iconic KitKatClub, which held court there from 2001 to 2004. Since then, the sprawling complex-known as Malzfabrik-has served various roles, but it has now been reclaimed as a premier destination for electronic music. Under the guidance of events expert Mika Schr\u00f6ter, who assumed management of the site earlier this year, the venue is being positioned as a “space for constant transformation.”<\/p>\n

Schr\u00f6ter emphasizes that the appeal of the location lies in its architectural and cultural depth. “The site is a tapestry of industrial heritage,” he noted in a recent interview. “By launching FOUND, we aren’t just opening a club; we are writing the next chapter for a space that has already hosted decades of Berlin\u2019s most vibrant subcultures.”<\/p>\n

The Grand Opening: A Watergate Revival<\/h2>\n

The venue officially threw open its doors on June 27, hosting a high-energy, marathon open-air event curated by the team behind the city\u2019s beloved, now-closed Watergate. The debut proved that the spirit of Berlin\u2019s club scene remains resilient, drawing a massive crowd to the 8,500-capacity grounds.<\/p>\n

The inaugural celebration featured a high-octane lineup that spanned two distinct stages: Shelter<\/strong> and Hall<\/strong>. Attendees were treated to sets from heavy hitters including Interplanetary Criminal, DJ Heartstring, THC, and DJ Spit, setting a high bar for the venue\u2019s future programming.<\/p>\n
