OK, let’s give it up for the Ramones Museum! @ramonesmuseum
Situated in the Mitte district, not far from the River Spree, on Krausnickstrasse, just off Oranienburger Strasse (love these street names!). Started by a fan, Flo Hayler, who, it is said, had accumulated so much Ramones memorabilia in his home that his girlfriend said it had to go. The current location,, which has a bar at the front, and a few rooms for the memorabilia and some videos at the back, was established in 2008.
It’s a great spot. I love the fact that there is a Ramones museum in Berlin. Entirely random, but somehow fitting in the new Berlin. You go in and get a beer and view of the place for 5 euros. And a little badge that gives you lifetime membership. Bargain!
We spent an hour or so looking around, watching the videos, and just lingering. Enjoying the memories, a beer, and the vibe. The Berlin vibe.
I really want to go there!
I think you’d enjoy it!
Me too. I’m really into them at the moment.
Very neat! I have a friend who used to be their Road Manager. He has great stories!
Lol, you beer wielding punk!
I’d be interested to hear those stories! I can wield a beer, but was always an armchair punk.
“lol” Are the Ramones in your book?
I’ll ask him about it.
He has a funny…. well funny now… story about a stint he did with Wendy O’williams, at least I think that’s her name. I believe she was a punk chick who played the chainsaw.
Yes, they are most definitely in the book.
