Music fans from across the world actually travel to the German money to visit eminent clubs like Tresor and Berghain - and a developing effort is approaching the specialists to apply to Unesco to secure the scene.
According to Sky News A few appraisals say around 100 clubs have shut somewhat recently in a city which originally took on the techno sound after its rise in Detroit during the 1980s.

The association, Rave The Planet is campaigning German specialists to apply for immaterial social legacy (ICH) status.
Made by Matthias Roeingh also known as Dr Motte, the DJ who established Love Parade, Rave The Planet intends to get techno formally perceived as cultural form protected by UNESCO.
Detroit DJ, Alan Oldham, told The Observer: “Unesco protection would go a long way towards maintaining that old spirit,
“Legacy venues like Tresor and Berghain for example would be protected as cultural landmarks.
“So many venues have closed in just the seven years I’ve lived here full-time. In other cities, it would be the natural club cycle at work, but Berlin is a different kind of place, where the club and creative scenes are the currency of the city.”
Dimitri Hegemann, who established Tresor – "the vault" – under a previous retail chain in east Berlin, is another ally
Techno is still essential for the texture of the city, as indicated by Peter Kirn, a Berlin-based DJ and music maker . "You in a real sense can hear this music pounding from all corners. It's truly all over," he said.

I can tell you that Berghain is definitely NOT one of the clubs that has suffered from the pandemic or will afterwards. It's the smaller clubs in Berlin that need protection right now. Berghain started as an underground queer club and has since become extremely gentrified. Berghain now focuses more on capital than protecting the culture that it supposedly represents. Rather than pushing the club scene into the far end of capitalism, if you want to talk about protecting the culture in Berlin, the only way is by supporting the smaller clubs and party spaces which are becoming wiped out because of this focus on larger club spaces that drive up prices and make clubbing here inaccessible for the more diverse crowd that originally made Berghain and Berlin what it is.
