Party in Bielefeld

Parties in Bielefeld - the city that doesn't exist parties damn well

Yes, yes, the joke must be short: Bielefeld doesn't exist. And now that that's out of the way, we can talk about the really important things, namely that the nightlife in this city is surprisingly good and that far too many people still don't know that. Bielefeld is a big city with real university energy, an established cultural life and a club scene that goes from one extreme to the other: here you'll find techno cellars as well as pop parties, indie venues as well as house clubs with international DJ line-ups. The calendar of events is full to bursting all year round, and if you check it regularly, you will soon realize that there is always something going on in Bielefeld. The absolute institution in Bielefeld's nightlife is Café Europa: first opened in 1930, it has been the club in the heart of the city for decades. On Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and before public holidays, people party here to house, electro, R'n'B, dance classics and the latest charts, while the club's own RAUM2WEI provides a second atmosphere in the same building with black music, trap and Latin sounds. This is the place where Bielefeld locals go when they just want to dance, without much explanation. If you're looking for something more cult, the Bunker Ulmenwall is the place for you: Concerts, parties, poetry slams, readings and music sessions make this location one of the city's most versatile cultural venues, where going out and genuine cultural interest go hand in hand. For all those who prefer electronic music in a somewhat more raw setting, it is worth taking a look at Nr. zu Platz, which scores with its subculture charm and changing events. The Forum plays several genres at once and brings electro, metal, indie and Balkan beats under one roof, which makes the mix in the audience particularly interesting. Those who love pop and party music and prefer to dance to it in an area where it is expressly forbidden to embarrass others will find what they are looking for at the Bierbörse, whose club also serves the black and house faction and thus combines two worlds at once. And then there's the Lokschuppen, a party location in a former railroad depot that has exactly the industrial charm you want for a good night out. Raw, big, with history and acoustics that simply make bass sound different. If you need some air between dance sessions, you'll find a relaxed outdoor atmosphere around Emil-Gross-Platz that works well from the first coffee to the last cocktail. Bielefeld is a city that doesn't have to bend over backwards to be good. The nightlife here is honest, diverse and has personality. Take a look at our events calendar, find your next event in Bielefeld and see for yourself. The city that supposedly doesn't exist is certainly partying for real.
