KitKatClub

The KitKatClub is known for its sexually uninhibited parties. Guests are allowed to engage in sexual intercourse openly at the venue. Patrons are diverse, including heterosexuals and members of the LGBT+ community. A strict dress code is applied for entry at the door, often enforced by Kirsten Krüger herself during the "Carneball Bizarre Club Night" events, held on Saturdays, and requiring fetish, latex, leather, kinky, high style, and glamour. ==History==

The club has moved three times since its opening in 1994. It opened in Glogauer Straße in the Kreuzberg district in the former Turbine. In 1999 it moved to Neues Schauspielhaus at Nollendorfplatz, and in 2001 to another lot in the district Tempelhof (which became part of Schöneberg in 2000) in Bessemer Straße. At the beginning of July 2007, it moved to the SageClub in the Mitte district at Brückenstraße 1. When the KitKat opened its doors in 1994 the musical profile of the club was mainly classical trance mixed with Goa trance, but through the years the club has opened up to a wider selection of electronic music. A KitKat record label was founded in 2005 and two CDs were released, Hedonistic Nightlife in Berlin and The Piep Show Compilation #0. The KitKatClub Berlin celebrated its 20th anniversary on March 1, 2014. At that time a novel about the early years of KitKat was published under the same name KitKatClub, written by Vigor Calma. After the closing and the loss of any income due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the KitKatClub set up a website to support the club and transmit streams live from the location. The club started offering COVID-19 tests in December 2020. On March 2, 2024, the KitKatClub celebrated its 30th anniversary at the "Disco Bizarre" event. ==Name origin==

The name KitKatClub is inspired by the frivolous Berliner nightclub featured in the American musical Cabaret. Harold Prince's Cabaret was set in Berlin in the early 1930s, against the backdrop of the ascent of the Nazi party, at a burlesque theatre called the "Kit Kat Club". The name originated from the Kit-Cat Club, an 18th-century English liberal political society. == Followers ==

The KitKatClub has served as an example in many countries for open-minded parties of new generations, where a sex-positive attitude merges with electronic music. The Ministry of Freedom club in Budapest also traces its image back to the KitKatClub, considering it the most important role model in terms of dress code and the experience of sexual freedom. ==See also==
