I have to admit, I never even tried to get into the Berghain. I already hate standing in queue for things I need to take care of so I definitely won't stand in line for a night in a techno club - a genre I really can't get behind - or rather for the incredible likelihood of getting send home after 2 hours of waiting. Nevertheless, you might enjoy the whole experience. The Berghain bouncer Sven Marquardt though is quite a popular figure in Germany, or at least in Berlin ;) Google his name and see what comes up.

How about you? What is your experience with the Berghain?
