Publication Metadata only The post-wall-era club culture of Berlin as cultural heritage : "Where there was jag, there is art"(Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2021) Phillips, Mark Nicholas; Pöğün-Zander, YükselThis chapter presents the temporary autonomous underground club scene of Berlin that emerged in Berlin following the fall of the Wall in November 1989 and traces the conditions in which these spaces came to blossom as “interiors without architecture.” The major social, political, and economic modifications that the reunification of Germany necessitated affected the cultural landscape of Berlin and resulted in changes in the cityscape. Abandoned buildings and the consequent ambiguity in legal ownership, combined with the unstable infrastructure and lack of authority, enabled the development of the Berlin model known as Zwischennutzung (temporary use). The anti-aesthetic of the partially illegal club scene with a lack of finish or redesign of spaces, remains the manifestation of what has become a cultural tradition for the city.
