Help RESET stay alive

Dear friends,

Last week, Reset was raided by the Ordnungsamt and the police. Around 50 officers stormed the club and shut down the show after just two songs, forcing our guests to leave.

Like Cortina Bob before us—and so many venues in the city center—Reset has faced ongoing tensions with its neighbors. On one hand, we deeply want to coexist peacefully and respectfully with our surroundings. On the other hand, Wiener Straße 34 has been home to some form of alternative venue for over 40 years, and we see ourselves as part of the unique cultural fabric of Kreuzberg.

Over the past years, we’ve invested heavily in renovations and soundproofing. Unfortunately, complaints from a few individuals have continued, and now, the authorities have acted.

We’re sad to announce that Reset will be closed for the coming weeks.

In a time where venues are disappearing, costs are rising, and Kreuzberg is changing fast (Zaun in Görli, anyone?), we’re doing everything we can to survive. To support this, we’re launching a GoFundMe to help cover further renovation work and rent while we’re closed. All funds will go directly to these needs.

--- All funds raised will be used exclusively for renovation costs, rent during our forced closure, and payments to authorities (fines, fees, etc.).

No money will be used for salaries or any personal benefit. ---

All shows scheduled through June-July are canceled. We’re looking for alternative venues for these events—please reach out if you can help.

We hope to be back on our feet soon and keep the punk spirit of Kreuzberg alive.

We’ll keep you updated on the rest of the summer.

Much love,

Team Reset
