Tacheles - Berlin






Tacheles - Berlin Germany
This place began with the bombings of Berlin in WW2. Unlike France and England Germany did not have the cash to re-build alot of the ruins post-war.  So just after the fall of the wall a group of punks, rockers, artists and like-minded people moved into an old shopping centre and made it their own.  It is now covered with artwork and graffiti and has a bar on every level, complete with a metal dragon that spews fire, this place personifies Berlin, last i knew the residents were paying 2 euros a month to rent this place.
