The KitKatClub is a nightclub in Berlin, opened in March 1994 by Austrian pornographic filmmaker Simon Thaur and his life partner Kirsten Krüger. It is a famously uninhibited nightclub known for its diverse crowd, open sexual expression, strict fetish dress code, and emphasis on music and dancing.
Since its founding in 1994, Berlin’s KitKatClub has moved locations multiple times, evolved from trance roots to a broad electronic music scene, launched a record label, adapted through the COVID-19 pandemic, and celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2024. It has inspired a new generation of open-minded, sex-positive parties worldwide, influencing venues like Budapest’s Ministry of Freedom, which models its dress code and sexual freedom ethos on it.
