Berghain is renowned for it's elusive door policy, hypnotic techno and no-phones anything goes atmosphere, but an Aussie influencer has recently revealed all about exactly what happens inside.
Jacki, 29, posted a video on TikTok and explained all of the scandalous scenes she witnessed inside after gaining access to the club that is infamously hard to get into.
Berghain's black-clad dress code and tough door policy reflect its roots in Berlin's queer underground, aiming to protect freedom, anonymity, and self-expression.
She shared a video of her outfit alongside her friend Jesse which consisted of a short black skirt, cropped black top and black gloves while Jesse wore a see-through vest and loose black trousers.
In a separate video she revealed every detail of her night at Berghain, addressing her followers while she did her make up.
'Once the guy told us we looked a little bit boring but he waved us in, the next thing you do is go through bag check . . . the entrance fee was $29 which I thought was kind of a bargain compared to what I think you would pay in a club that big,' she explained.
Her first surprise was that most club-goers had an entirely different, often skimpy, outfit to wear once they gained entry to the club in a 'locker room' area which you enter after the bag check.
'Some of these outfits people got into were kind of insane, there were girls in lingerie, maybe just a g-string, nothing on top. Certain guys were getting full nothing on, full everything swinging, hanging out.'

She explained that next, everyone's phone cameras were covered with stickers to prevent people disobeying the strict no photos or videos policy, then she walked into the main warehouse which has three floors, and lots of different rooms.
'There's also two different dance floors, one super techno one and one more slightly disco, EDM one at the top, no words or anything like that but one's a little more dancey and one's super heavy techno,' the 29-year-old said.
The Aussie pair entered the club in the late afternoon having had one drink, but were surprised how cheap the bar was at such a famous club.
'So once me and Jesse got in at about 5pm we were basically sober . . .so we went straight to the bar. The drinks were really affordable, it was like seven euros for a drink and three euros for a shot,' she continued.

The influencer's main shock was the kinky interactions that she witnessed taking place between attendees as the night continued.
'There were people having a threesome on these stairs, fully naked, in broad daylight . . . I saw a lot of that, girls, guys, two, three, four, all over the club,' she said.
She also explained some of the infrastructure that is built inside the club where sexual acts were also taking place
'There was these boxes, big boxes, like you could fit three four people standing up in them, there was an alleyway of six of them lined up, there was a different group of people in each one of these boxes and there were different acts happening in every box, full bright light you could literally look in . . .it was insane.'

She also shared the minimal and bizarre options of food on offer to buy once you're inside the club.
'Also this is so random but inside they sell bananas and ice cream as food. So there's people who go in there and stay for two, three days and literally eat banana and ice cream while they're there,' she said.
The video quickly went viral, amassing more than 400,000 views on TikTok and was flooded with comments; some sharing that they had witnessed similar scenes, while others judged the influencer for exposing what she saw.
'I'll never forget what I witnessed in the bathrooms,' one person said.
'Berghain is a queer kink club . . .it's hard to get into because of people like you who go in and treat it like a zoo and shame people for doing kink in a kink dedicated space. Not cool,' another added.
