Tresor opens in a bank vault

After the Wall fell, empty buildings in the former East became clubs, studios and galleries almost overnight. In 1991 Tresor opened in the old vault of the Wertheim department store near Leipziger Straße.

Techno became the soundtrack of reunified Berlin — and the club, the warehouse and the temporary space became part of how art is shown in this city.
