Tresor Busted

**crime** · 01-09-2003, 02:31 PM

Tresor got busted on saturday....
Minimal drug arrests, seems that the establishment in Berlin are trying to use scare tactics to get the club shut down by hook or by crook so the site can be redeveloped as property values in the area have rocketed since the fall of the wall... Sad eh?

Very sad, but also inevitable (sadly again). That must be one valuable piece of real estate these days, only a stones throw from Potsdamer Platz. A kickback to the police would be such a paltry amount compared to the return some money grabbing developer will get for the site. That's global capitalism for ya folks ! That's what the world needs, more office space while another piece of Berlin's 'real' culture gets buried under the rubble. But hey, the new building will proabably get a design award , so that's alright then. And who knows, in a couple of years time we might be able to go to Berlin and buy a little piece of tresor in a plastic box for a couple of euros, when we've all forgotten and stopped caring about the wall and moved on to the next sanitised guided tour and slide show about what life used to be like.

Tresor's fate is in the hands of the owner who as far as I know bought it a while ago for the purpose of knocking down and building on. He has been understanding to the club so far though and has given them quite a bit of extra time to stay already. Tresor is in prime development area alright, and they have explored every avenue possible to keep that club where it is (including seeing if a history preservation order would help them keep the building intact as the building next to it or close to it avoided demolition for that reason) but with no joy unfortunately, it's a shame that the police are starting to put pressure on them like this as they certainly don't deserve it.

Check it, seminal techno label and probably the best club in Berlin (Not the biggest though), been going since '91....

**TripleX** · 02-09-2003, 12:32 PM

German druq policy is a ****!ng shame....
they think they can fight ecstacy with shuttin down clubs :roll:

**tioneb** · 02-09-2003, 12:54 PM

well drugs are just a pretext to close the club... its been years they're trying to close tresor to build offices at this place.

in every country they use the fact that there are drugs in such parties to close them, but be sure that they dont believe that what they do is useful in the fight against drugs.

once more we can see that people bringing drugs in parties just give one more weapon to the cops to close the venues. its like giving a gun to a criminal.

All the places I went to in Berlin , no names will be mentioned , but you could only get your stuff CLOSE to the benue and not in it!!

**Jimfish** · 02-09-2003, 01:35 PM

im gonna go and check it out next month b4 it closes... ive never been, i have to go see it for myself if these are the final days..

**Angrymann** · 02-09-2003, 02:58 PM

It's well worth it. It looks kind of strange cause as someone else said it's right in the heart of Potsdamer Platz which is a really wealthy district full of massive office buildings. The club itself is dark and dingy as it should be. There is a small beer garden outside , a bar inside and old bank vault downstairs. I went to see Richie Hawtin there on a Wednesday night and they didn't open the Vault , so it was well dissapointing , cause it's just like any other club if the vaults not open.
