Discussions and reflections on the issues of night culture
North American premiere of STADT OHNE MORGEN a short documentary on the history of Berlin’s curfew.
In 1949, the curfew in Berlin was abolished once and for all by a man named Heinz Zellermayer, paving the way for the never-ending nights and limitless freedom Berliners still enjoy today. STADT OHNE MORGEN explores how this decision has enabled Berlin’s nightlife to grow into a diverse club culture and what it means to have this freedom in a city that is rapidly changing.

Lutz is a consultant and night time economy, culture and community activist. He is also the founder of the VibeLab and Creative Footprint with Amsterdam’s ex-night mayor, Mirik Milan.
