SO36
🇩🇪Berlin, Germany
OPEN
Since 1978
Located in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin, SO36 takes its name from the area's historic postal code. In the late 1970s and 80s, West Berlin was an island of subculture surrounded by the GDR, and SO36 was its epicenter. It was a hub for the squatter movement and radical left-wing politics, often compared to CBGB for its grit and artistic importance.
