Over the years, we have collectively created temporary spaces where only music, people, and the moment mattered \u2014 defiant, sincere, and full of love.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Vision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From this collective experience, krakelee club is now emerging: A place for exchange, retreat, and musical experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, people come together to escape the injustices of everyday life; to connect, to inspire one another, to dance \u2013 and to surrender themselves to sound, light, fog, intimacy, and community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Location<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

krakelee club will emerge in Cologne-M\u00fclheim as part of a cultural space with diverse uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After years of searching, hoping, and countless hours of volunteer work, the moment has finally arrived: In the former KHD administration building in the Otto-Langen-Quartier in M\u00fclheim, our home is taking shape.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Clubs are political spaces?!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Club spaces are meeting spaces \u2013 and therefore, they are political. The way they are designed has a significant influence on the way people encounter each other within them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the dance floor, not everyone comes from the same background. We want to design krakelee club so that as many people as possible can feel comfortable there. But all visitors also share responsibility for the atmosphere: Let's celebrate in solidarity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Programme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cultural spaces thrive on exchange; on people, ideas, and concepts that inspire each other \u2013 exactly what our society needs right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

krakelee club should be such a space. At its center are club nights \u2013 good lineups, thumping bass, escape from everyday life. But krakelee is not just a club, because we understand culture as an open and living field. What should emerge is a diverse cultural space where art, concerts, installations, workshops, and other formats can also take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

krakelee crew<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The krakelee collective consists of more than 20 people who work in various autonomous working-groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the collective is responsible for shaping the club project, the co-op provides the legal, operational, and ethical framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Structure and working groups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Collective means: being in a state of constant change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A collective thrives on shared responsibility and continuous development. Sociocracy provides a clear framework for this \u2014 one that allows decisions to be made efficiently while taking multiple perspectives into account. Through defined roles and working groups, responsibility is distributed, and actions become more effective. In this way, an organization emerges that embraces diversity while remaining focused and purposeful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
