Kabarett Theater Distel

Millions of visitors leaving East Berlin by train said tearful goodbyes to their friends and relatives from the East at this former border checkpoint. Hardly a year after the wall came down, the building was turned into a nightclub until it was forced to close in 2006. It re-opened as a museum in September 2011 and now houses a permanent exhibition that brings the absurd normality of everyday life in the divided city back to life.

Contemporary theatre. The theater was founded by Bertolt Brecht after the war in what was then East Berlin.

In Riverside Hotel next to the Friedrichstadtpalast.

Four floors of exhibitions with a relatively good variety of genres and artists. A very nice oasis of calm from the busy Friedrichstraße.

Berlin's biggest show with over 100 artists on the biggest theater stage in the world.
