Let's go to the ...

Umspannwerk Ost, Palisadenstr. 48, 10243 Berlin

The substation East is a house that was literally electrified. Seven large transformers supplied electricity for Berlin. Even today, the technical ambience is recognizable and the room dimensions are impressive. Where the transformers were once anchored, there are now tables and chairs in the wide machine hall surrounded by six-metre-high, light-flooded glass doors.

The constant humming of the transformers is now replaced by language and music, by action and movement. The energy returns and is to be fed permanently from the stream of visitors who now return to the halls and experience and enjoy the fascinating combination of culture and gastronomy.
