18 photos of Berlin's apocalyptic new club space

Ritter Butzke's new Dampfmaschine floor is an “end time rave stage”

Ritter Butzke has unveiled images of its new dancefloor, due to open next Monday, October 2, at the start of the Berlin nightspot’s week-long 8 Years Lost birthday celebration.

It’s called Dampfmaschine, which translates as ‘steam engine’, and has an apocalyptic Mad Max meets steampunk look with jagged machinery covering the walls.

Endlos Industries designed the floor and bar setup. The company run the Station Endlos club in Halle, East Germany, and build spectacular stages at festivals such as Feel and Ikarus.

A brand new LED wall has also been installed by Berlin lighting specialists Telekollegen, adding vibrant decoration behind the DJs.

Check out images of the new floor and lighting in the gallery above.
