SO36

The legendary SO36 club, is a music club on Oranienstrasse near Heinrichplatz in the district of "Kreuzberg" in "Berlin", Germany.

It takes it's name from the historic postcode of that area SO36, in which the SO stands for Südost (South East). The Kreuzberg district has historically been home to the Berlin "punk rock " movement, as well as other alternative subcultures in Germany.

SO36 was originally focused largely on punk music and in the 1970s was often frequented by musicians such as "Iggy Pop" and "David Bowie". In those days the club rivalled New York's "CBGB" as one of the finest new-wave venues in the world, however unlike CBGB the venue still stands today and remains a fixture on the Berlin music scene championing new artists, while staying true to its punk past.
