Co-founder of Berlin nightclubs Tresor and Kraftwerk, Regina Baer, has died
Posted by Tresor Berlin on Wednesday, July 27, 2022Baer managed Tresor as well as other Berlin venue Globus from 1991 to 2005. She also set up the Tresor Foundation, a non-profit that works to acquire real estate to protect buildings from development, instead safeguarding their future use for creative and cultural purposes.Meanwhile, the restaurants Schwarzenraben and Weltrestaurant Markthalle are referred to in Hegemann’s note as “matters close to her heart”.“The history of Tresor, and indeed of Berlin’s entire nightlife, would be different without her energy, drive, vision, creativity, discipline and ability to carry others along with her and motivate them,” reads part of Hegemann’s post.“She was an incredibly strong woman who knew exactly what she wanted in a scene that was mostly still very male-dominated at the time – and never let herself be intimidated even by the biggest machos.”He continued: “She was unapologetically open, honest, human, and compassionate and one of the strongest women and people I’ve ever known – all the while having such a great sense of humour that was almost never lost on her.
