Description
The SchwuZ, or just SchwuZ, is an icon of the gay clubbing scene in Berlin. It is known as the oldest and one of the biggest LGBTQ+ clubs in Berlin, having been founded by the organisation Homosexual Action West Berlin (HAW) in 1977. The club is known for having three party rooms, one specifically for renting out private events. One of the rooms is known as "The Cathedral," which has high ceilings and a rough industrial vibe.
