The SO36 (German: [ʔɛsʔoːˌzɛksʔʊntˈdʁaɪ̯sɪç] (listen)) club is a music club on Oranienstraße near Heinrichplatz in the area of Kreuzberg in Berlin, Germany. It takes its 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. Since the 1970s SO36 has been a major venue for "alternative" music and culture. Many Punk greats have performed and still perform here. Martin Kippenberger took over the management in 1979, focusing on creating a crossover between Punk and other genres and mediums such as New Wave and the visual arts. SO36 has been compared to New York's CBGB as one of the finest new-wave venues in the world. However unlike CBGB the venue still stands as of March 2023, and remains a fixture on the Berlin music scene championing new artists, while staying true to its Punk roots. In 2016, the club released SO36: 1978 bis heute ("1978 through today"), a retrospective illustrated book covering the 36-year history of the club, for €36. More information...
