SchwuZ, the oldest and largest queer nightclub in Germany, filed for insolvency due to severe financial difficulties. The management stated that they needed to address financial issues before they became unmanageable. Contributing factors included management troubles, the rise of dating apps, an ailing economy, and an ageing clientele. Despite implementing changes, such as reducing opening hours and staff, the club's financial strain persisted. The management emphasized the significance of the club as a community space and expressed determination to continue providing a home for the queer community.
The club's management stated it had to file for insolvency, not because we're already unable to pay, but because we soon would be.
Management troubles and the rise of dating apps were cited as contributing factors to the financial struggles faced by the club last year.
An ailing economy, an ageing core clientele, and the creeping crisis in the Berlin club scene have all impacted the club's financial stability.
We need safe places to meet, exchange, and celebrate wildly, emphasizing the importance of community and connection for the queer culture.
