off we go
We enter the grounds and immediately turn left towards the food court. We spot a hive of activity at the old barn.
kids' bay · octopus collective
The Octopus Collective has been running the Kids' Floor since 2023.
The kids' bay offers a shared space to play, relax, create and be together - inspired by the currents and moods of the Baltic Sea. A wide bay where people of all ages can arrive, discover and grow.
With workshops, music and lively encounters, we explore what live means - and fill it with life together.
We move on to the barn building on the opposite side. Bows are being stretched here...
bogen · specht crew x dunkelstrom
The collectives from Spechthausen merge with sound and image in the dark current of the night in the old barn and open up safe spaces for encounters and exchange. The long days of summer whet the appetite for wild performances and spectacular concerts from the detect series. Orchestras, bands and electronic acts play here.
In between, the Spechthausen residents and their friends will entertain you at the bar.
As part of the Specht Crew and as its own collective, Dunkelstrom has been at the festival since 2019. With a lot of love and inventiveness, the lighting collective designs the entire site with installations.
Keep your eyes open, especially at night!
Now we head back across the food court and continue left past the Bröllin Bar. The smell of coffee lures us into the small building...
bröllin bar · schloss bröllin e.v.
For 30 years, Schloss Bröllin has been an open space for artists and guests from all over the world. The association is an international production center for performative arts and offers rooms and spaces as well as creative exchange and freedom for artistic work of any discipline.
The Detect Classic Festival has been hosted here every year since 2022 - and the people of Bröllin provide all visitors with delicious coffee, drinks and sometimes cake in their in-house bar. From time to time, there are also pop-up flea markets or spontaneous concerts here.
Right next to the Bröllin Bar, a huge building rises up, only topped by the tower behind the Bröllin Bar.
silo · kollektiv eigenklang & more
The old distillery becomes a performance space during Detect. The Kollektiv eigenklang will supervise the performances and will also invite people to a participatory jam.
After a visit to the Silo, we continue along the path to Flora. As soon as we reach the small hill behind the farm, the view opens up to endless fields, hills, trees and sunsets. Strange, shiny plants grow on the large open-air floor...
flora · das pack
The history of Das Pack can be traced back to the very first Detect. An old Berlin collective and the former house project ttt - werkstatttraum became a circle of friends and finally Das Pack.
When melodies pollinate harmonies and deep-rooted classical music branches out with blossoming basses, an oasis of sonic pleasure awakens. It grows, conquers and thrives. Here you have arrived in the garden of Flora!
The Pack collective invites you to experience the world of Mother Nature anew in the upheaval of the industrial tides. Here, not only musical sounds, but also the elements of the earth merge: metallic blossoms grow up, fresh glass shoots transform into sturdy plants and meadows of unknown flowers conquer the landscape. This is the beginning of something new.
Completely sweaty, we leave the flora and walk back along the path or through a grove on the left onto the Kokon.
kokon · lange.weile
Between the trees, in a small clearing, we find numerous lounging areas, carpets, burrows and more. Sculptures and colors are reminiscent of honey.... Since we first came to Schloss Bröllin in 2022, the Lange.weile crew from Leipzig has set up a cozy ambient floor here, which has continued to grow.
Tom Kretschmar from lieber analog has been setting up installations in the former bee house adjacent to the floor since 2024. The Bienenhaus is open for the entire duration of the festival.
After listening to exciting sounds and marveling at the treetops, we leave the Kokon and walk past the Cozy Hour Space on our way to a new planet.
cozy hour space & awareness tent
The Cozy Hour Space is a new, consumption-free retreat on the festival site - for children, families and all people who want to find peace and quiet.
No alcohol, no drugs, no tobacco are to be allowed. Instead, we invite you to relax, talk about our work, reflect together, breastfeed babies, interact with children...
Our awareness crew has designed this space as a chill and conversation area - cosy, accessible and open. There are sofas, carpets and seating, a children's quiz, books for adults and children (on topics such as discrimination, diversity and queer life), as well as interactive impulses.
The awareness tent is located directly behind the Cozy Hour Space. The tent cannot be seen from the outside and offers enough space for those affected and a small group of supporters. The Safer Space has a cosy atmosphere.
A mattress, blankets, rugs, a table, indirect lighting, etc. can be provided here. Non-alcoholic drinks, fruit, glucose, pretzel sticks and tea are available.
You can find out more about our awareness concept at the festival here.
After paying a visit to the Cozy Hour Space, we walk behind it into the building, from the entrance of which billows of clouds of fog and booming bass...
planet 9 · hütte
We affectionately call the Hütte Crew our Wild Card. Every year, the Berlin gang creatively organises the small indoor floor. There are DJ sets in quick succession on Friday and Saturday nights and the odd punk concert in between.
The name is always new, as is the design, but the vibe is always the same: Simply Hütte. This year the floor is called Planet 9.
In the outermost part of the solar system, beyond Neptun and the Kuiper Belt, rumors say there is another planet. A place beyond known axes, where gravity feels like bass and time bends like light in motion.
Don´t panic! You landed on Planet 9. A new world, where probability slips and reality folds.
Are you looking for the meaning? Maybe it´s 42. Maybe it's this exact moment.
Now we're all sweaty again and perhaps a little tired. Nevertheless, we still want to discover what is hidden in the mysterious Studio 3.
studio 3 - workshops & performances
A dance floor, space and some studio light can sometimes be enough. Studio 3 is where we meet to learn, marvel and touch.
After dropping in on a workshop, we make our way to the campsite. Not without stopping by the village church first, of course...
kirche · bröllin
Bröllin is home to a small fieldstone church from the 13th century. It is part of the parish of Brüssow and Fahrenwalde. We keep discovering exciting installations and works of art here. And, of course, we also bring back great concert formats and more every year.
The Bröllin church remains a place of contemplation and contemplation during the festival weekend.
Our tour of the festival site is now over. There are still plenty of secrets and surprises to discover on site.
Stay curious.
