Prinzknecht

À propos de ce lieu Prinzknecht

Prinzknecht occupies a large corner space on Fuggerstraße in Schöneberg and has established itself as the definitive bear and masculine-presenting gay bar in Berlin. The aesthetic is American bar meets German Stammtisch — leather vests, plaid flannel, denim, and the easy camaraderie of men who have found their tribe. The bar runs regular themed events including leather nights, uniform nights, and bear parties that draw crowds from across the city and from visiting tourists who specifically seek out this kind of venue. The size of the space — significantly larger than most Schöneberg bars — means it manages the paradox of being both the social hub for a specific sub-community and accessible enough that newcomers do not feel like intruders. Regular events include a monthly Brummbaer (Berlin's longest-running bear party), weekly Happy Hours, and Pride week events that make Prinzknecht one of the centres of gravity for Schöneberg CSD week activities. The Fuggerstraße is the secondary gay street in Schöneberg — less famous than Motzstraße but with a concentration of bars that makes an evening's bar crawl entirely possible on foot.
