A Movie About Berlin’s Infamous Strict Bouncers Is Scheduled To Come Out
A film about some of Berlin’s notorious bouncers is coming out soon.
The movie, depicting real-life bouncers of Berlin’s nightlife, will tell the story of three famed doormen of Germany’s capital city, including the most recognized face and name of them all: Sven Marquardt of Berghain.
The other two bouncers starring in the film titled Berlin Bouncers include Smiley Baldwin, another employee of Berghain, and Frank KĂŒnster who worked at Delicious Doughnuts and King Size.
The film is due to be screened on February 10th, 11th and 16th at the Berlinale, documenting each of the doorman’s career path into nightlife dating back to the ’80s and passing through the years that have taken us to present day.
A wider release of the film is expected for April of 2019.
Berghain’s notorious strict door police has become the source of too many memes to mention, board games, virtual interactive games and plenty of article features.
Berghain’s Famous Bouncer Sven Marquardt Denied Entry at Australian Nightclub
This one may elicit a chuckle or two out of you, if you’ve ever been denied entry at Berghain that is.
Sven Marquardt, arguably the most known of Berghain’s bouncers, was denied entry at a club in Sydney, Australia. A taste of his own medicine, perhaps, knowing of the countless techno fans he has denied at the entrance of the most popular techno club in the world, Berghain.
Berlinâs famous photographer Marquardt had an exhibition at Goethe-Institut in Sydney, and then decided to go clubbing while there. In an interview, he shared how he was denied at the entrance because local bouncers found his facial tattoos to be a tad bit suspicious. In the interview he reveals that he talked with the club owner later, who admitted that he was also denied entry at Berghain when he was in Berlin.
The irony!
Play Sven Marquardt In This New Berghain Card Game
It seems that everybody wants to know how to get into the elusive Berghain, dubbed by many established publications as the hardest club to get into in the entire world.
Those attempting to get into the Berlin club plan ahead, working to perfect their strategy to ensure that Sven Marquardt, the club’s head bouncer, and his team allow them in. Arrival time, attire, facial expression, arriving in a group versus solo, etc. are all taken into consideration when planning a visit to the techno venue. We evaluated all of those factors when we partied in Berlin for 24 hours straight last month, getting into the club successfully as a result.
You might remember how earlier this year the often-frustrating Berghain door experience was turned into a simulation game. Well now it has also been translated into a card game. The catch? The roles are switched and you play Sven’s position rather than that of the club-goer attempting to be granted access to the club.
Berghain ze Game has players act as bouncers of the notorious club, and places you in Svenâs position. Specifically, the game’s creators specify that, âyour job is to let the right people into legendary Berlin techno club Berghain. Take turns as the most powerful man in Germany and learn more about gay culture in the process!â
Of course the cards that come in the deck allow for a variety of differing characters, drawing inspiration from the diverse crowd that visits the high-culture venue each weekend. Included are a ketamine head, clueless tourist and of course a leather-clad patron or two.
Want to play the game? Help launch it via the Kickstarter campaign that is about to go live. You can view the promotional video and stay up to date on the Kickstarter launch date via Berghain ze Game’s Instagram page:
Are You Still Expected to Wear All Black at Berghain/Panorama Bar?
Are you planning a Berghain trip any time soon? If so, make sure your suitcase is still filled with black clothing.
If this picture taken by Lee Jones over the weekend is anything to go by, it remains pretty obvious that wearing anything that isn’t black may diminish your chances of getting past Sven and his men at the door. Taken during this past weekend’s Ostgut Ton takeover, the photo paints a clear picture of the color choice expected of you when attending the revered techno venue.
