Raw
Revaler Strasse 99, 10245 Berlin

The site, formerly railway workshops, offers a variety of cultural and sports facilities, including artists' studios, concert halls and clubs (Cassiopeia, Astra, Lokschuppen, Der Weiße Hase, Urban Spree, Maaya), alternative cultural spaces (Zum schmutzigen Hobby, Emmapea, Crack Bellmer), galleries (RAW ART, Kunstakademie Friedrichshain, Urban Spree), a skate hall, a climbing space, and gastronomic areas.

The Cassiopeia club, the oldest on the site, combines underground and mainstream, with a program mainly focused on hip-hop and drum & bass.

The Skatehalle Berlin, the only indoor skate hall in Berlin, has gained worldwide fame since its opening in the winter of 2004/2005.

Located on Revaler Straße, the RAW is a hotspot for alternative culture in Berlin. Part of the site is currently threatened by real estate projects. In summer, Berliners love to gather in the Biergarten of the skatepark and that of Cassiopeia, as well as at Urban Spree.

Feel like discovering the smallest disco in the world? A Télédisko, installed in a former telephone booth, welcomes you at the heart of the RAW. Every Sunday, a flea market is also organized there.

Urban Spree

Urban Spree is a haven of peace and culture in the heart of the city, run by French people. It is a must-see place in the Berlin underground scene.

You can visit an indoor art gallery with regular exhibitions, as well as an outdoor gallery on the wall along Warschauer Straße and the walls of Urban Spree, where graffiti artists display their works.

Urban Spree is also a concert hall hosting a multitude of artists from various musical genres. In summer, the "garden" allows you to quietly sip a drink to the sound of music, whether it's live bands or DJs mixing different styles.

On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons, collectives organize events. At one time, the team from the label Aufnahme+Wiedergabe regularly offered New Beat nights, but the programming can sometimes surprise.

Feeling peckish? You can eat on-site thanks to the presence of small restaurateurs. Want a tattoo? A tattoo artist also has a shop on-site. This place is the quintessential underground spot where Berliners meet. It's not uncommon for some events to attract large crowds. The prices are very affordable, and the atmosphere is convivial. You might also run into DJs from the underground scene who come to relax.

Every year, Urban Spree hosts the Krake Festival, with a market for Berlin electronic labels, often run by big names in the scene.
