Verborgen hinter hölzernen Mauern
Umströmt von toxischen Wässern der Spree
Bewacht von einem Drachen – er lässt viele erschauern
Steht eine Stätte – das Ziel dieser magischen Odyssee
Kreaturen mannigfaltiger denn jeh
Leib und Trank und Musik und Genie
Farbige Lichter wurden wie Zauberblumen gesät
So wurde erschaffen die schöne Utopie
Doch da nun versiegelt der mystische Ort
Anscheinend für immer – aber man weiß es ja nie
Hier von uns gefangene Augenblicke von dort
Als Trost für die Seelen, die nicht kennen ihre Magie
So vergehe nun du Bar 25, unsere Oase
Lass uns allein im Zementwald Berlins
Vergangen nun die dionysische Ekstase
Verblasst all die Wirkung des bunten Vitamins
Adieu, du räudige Kannibalin
Der letzte Tanz mit dir war erfüllt von Schmerz
Wir werden schon finden eine neue Vestalin
Bis auch ihr irgendwann verbluten wird das Herz
Eindrücke der letzten Tage in der legendären Bar 25 nach dem Klick.
Uff, dont lie…
They DO have another two-year contract. Its just a reason to higher the popularity and the fees.
That would not surprise me at all. They have been celebrating the Final Party for the last 3 years now. But I believe that they have to fight for it every year again. But I won’t believe it’s really closed until I see this area stripped bare.
joe c: dont talk about stuff you dont know about. we dont have a 2 year contract. we have a 2 MONTH extension to clear everything out. negotiations are going on with the BSR (the owners of the land) to allow the people who live there to stay during the renovation (extending the contract more) which MUST be started before 2010. and IF we are able to open next year it wont be the way it looks now because they will still be doing renovation. dont believe the rumours and try to look at it from our side: there has been a fight to extend the contract every year for 3 years. last year we all who work and play there said our big goodbyes at the end of the season because the contract ended on december 11. no one believed we could fight it because the BSR representatives wouldnt even meet with the Bar representatives, but with a lot of organizing, it was a court proceeding on december 12th which gave the extension to august 31st of this year. read what juval had to say about why this year was the year they wouldnt budge (in the zitty article). 18,6 million euros of government money for legally required renovation is at stake. and no one is getting rich off bar25. imagine just what the monthly electricity bill is and look at how much money has gone back into building new and exciting things there.
oh, and those of us who work there wish it was less popular. this year (though amazing and great) was the most stressful year so far.
@pablo: thanks for these infos! nice to hear some official words instead of just rumors.
no problem. im not the actual spokesperson. that would be juval or cristoph, but ive been getting really tired and frustrated by people who provide little to our community bad mouthing something we’ve all worked so hard for and put so much energy into, and i thought maybe i should try to set the record straight. no one really knows whats coming next year, but even if the bar doesnt open again im sure something new and beautiful will eventually spring up. thats berlin.
very nice pictures, i can still remember
oh thanks for these information.
I’m thinking we have been lucky enough to be part of what you have created and accomplished during all these years, onto this amazing piece of land !
Land which will remain charged of infinite of good vibes. No doubt. And year after year, will all the respect that somebody like Bar 25 owe, everybody started to consider the place/bar like a person, like a Lord, a Lord on his own land.
Making true the dream about a perfect place to start/party/chill/love/laugh/learn/end and much more (Heard about somebody who discover himself as a great Confetti Hunter last summer).
We will miss you Lord Bar 25.

I feel like ubertrigger about the personification thing. thats why i could`t just write a simple blabla text like the club is gone. real shame blabla.
P E R S O N I F I C A T I O N !
Precisely ! Thanks !
