Save about Blank: 150,000 euros required for Berlin's cultural treasure!

Friedrichshain, Berlin, Deutschland - The Berlin club landscape faces a serious challenge. The club "About Blank" in Friedrichshain has struggled with considerable financial problems in the past few months. According to [Berlin Live] (https://www.berlin-live.de/freizeit/ausleze/club-in-berin-news-about-blank-freier-biet- ID423629.html) there was a dramatic increase in the catering prices, which further tightened the situation of many clubs, including that of "About Blank". Not only the increased costs are responsible for the financial difficulties, but also external factors such as inflation, war and the aftermath of pandemic that burden the entire club scene.

In order to avert the impending closure, the club has launched a fundraiser. The goal: 150,000 euros by May 3. The operators hope for the support of the city and the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district to overcome the existential crisis. It is particularly bitter that the application for cultural funding was unsuccessful this year, which contributes to an additional financial gap. An impending increase in property tax also puts a significant impact on the club's expenses.

donations and rewards

The owners of "About Blank" have come up with creative measures to mobilize the community for support. Donors can receive small gifts that range from a lighter for 20 euros to a lifelong free entry for 1312 euros. This action should not only provide financial aid, but also raise awareness of the cultural importance of the club.

“About Blank” is not only a popular place for techno and house parties, but has also established itself as an important part of the left-wing policy scene in Berlin. The club's political attitude is clear: anti -fascist, feminist and anti -capitalist. This makes the club emphasized one of the few remaining left-hand points in Germany, such as TIP Berlin.

political challenges

The current political situation, especially in connection with the Middle East conflict, has additionally burdened the climate around "About Blank". The club is exposed to boycotts and hostility, which has already led to cancellations and event losses. However, the operators assure that they adhere to their political ideals and be negative of commercial events.

As part of the "Crush course instead of club crash" initiative, those responsible asked for permanent support. The artistic and political orientation of the club should continue to offer a platform for discourses and cultural diversity in Berlin. Events such as the "Blank Holidays Festival" and the "lowkey stars" party series are already on the program and are intended to help bring the club through these challenging times.
