Last session at "Bernd's Wohnzimmer" — R.I.P.
A sad day in 2009 was the closing of the best indoor skatepark that Berlin has seen in a while. This cosy place near the main station was fully covered and perfectly shaped with wood from the bottom up to the roof. “Bernd’s Wohnzimmer” opened the doors for the last session in October. Once built up with much love by the Berlin skateboard legend Till Kemner some years ago, it instantly became the spot for the core of the scene. Such a great place to hang out, right at a channel of the Spree river. Had some really good sessions there, loved the miniramp, people have always been nice, I remember some sweet injuries and muscle soreness … I already miss it really bad!
But with everything that comes to an end there is a new beginning … parts of the wood will find a new home, a new skatepark is being built, with indoor and outdoor space somewhere in the eastern part of Berlin. Hopefully it has something special to offer like “Bernd’s Wohnzimmer”. See you soon!
Here is a short video of the last session, cut by Radio Skateboards rider and most prolific activist: Maxim Rosenbauer.
