Berlin
This event venue is part of the historic former Wedding crematorium and presents mostly experimental music, dance and other performances in the former mourning hall with its striking acoustics. A bit creepy perhaps? But oh so Berlin. There's also Mars, the daytime restaurant and bar (www.mars-berlin.net), and outdoor movie nights hosted by the roaming Nomadenkino.
The listed 1911 building was in use as a crematorium until 2002.
