Common Ground Berlin
About this episode

The heartbeat of the German capital city’s nightlife and a symbol of its post-reunification identity after a decade-long campaign is now officially recognized by the German National Registry of Intangible Cultural Heritage. But what does this recognition for Berlin Techno really mean?

 

Guest host Eden Brockman speaks with Lutz Leichsenring, co-founder of VibeLab and executive board member of Clubcommission Berlin, and Detroit-born, Berlin-based DJ and multidisciplinary artist Alan Oldham. Host Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson interviews Marlen Meissner, head of the “Heritage, Nature, and Society” department at Germany’s UNESCO branch.


Produced by Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson and Eden Brockman.
