Review:

The Distillery is the oldest techno-club in the federal states. It is also one of the most famous and influential in Germany. It sprang up, illegally, in 1992, shortly after the reunification of Germany. Music enthusiasts occupied an abandoned brewery building, without power or water. They had two generators, one for the music system and one for the lights. The setup fell foul of the city's safety regulations and the club was forced to move to a disused railway building. From the outset, the club attracted local and foreign support and has become an institution and a symbol of liberal German culture.
