Berlin is notorious for utilizing old, abandoned warehouses for art galleries, and techno clubs. This was a warehouse called Kunsthaus Tacheles that I stumbled upon near Hackescher Market, north of the city center. During World War II this building served as a Nazi prison. After the Berlin Wall had fallen down the building was taken over by artists. The artists collective is continuously threatened by eviction. The building currently contains artists studios, workshops, a nightclub, and cinema.
