An old cabaret theatre from the roaring ’20s has been uncovered in the heart of Berlin.
The semi-derelict music hall theatre, built in 1905 on Gartenstraße in Berlin Mitte, has been buried in 30 tonnes of rubble since 1934 when it closed, perhaps as part of a crackdown on the cabaret scene by the Nazi regime.

Project: Abandoned 1920s cabaret theatre discovered in Berlin
‘NESTED IN THE REMAINS OF NIEL’S BARRACKS, THE FERME DARWIN IS A PILOT PROJECT WHICH ACCOMMODATES MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS, RIGHT IN BETWEEN NATURE AND CULTURE.’
Inspired in the movement of a conductor´s baton, the building design is composed of five concrete roofs moving up and down in harmony to give shape, space and light to the project. Each roof represents a staff´s line, always straight, constant and parallel.
We are looking forward to create a project that lives for the site trees as these will live as a part of it. We cannot think about a dark and traditional concert hall when the project is being developed in a forest area with huge and old trees.
