Dress Code

  • Testosterone operates a strict fetish dress code.

  • Leather trousers, harnesses, boots and full leather outfits are popular choices.
  • Sportswear, sneakers, standard T-shirts and regular club clothing are not accepted.
  • Guests who do not meet the published dress code can be refused entry.
  • Check the official Testosterone website for the latest 2027 dress-code and ticket information.
  • Plan your outfit before arriving in Berlin. Testosterone has one of the stricter door policies of the major Folsom weekend parties.

The Venue – Gretchen Club

  • Gretchen Club is at Obentrautstraße 19–21 in Kreuzberg.
  • The club occupies former military stables with large vaulted rooms and several spaces used during major club events.
  • Testosterone transforms the venue with dance, cruising and play areas, changing facilities and dedicated fetish zones.
  • Mehringdamm and Hallesches Tor provide convenient U-Bahn connections.
  • From the main Folsom area around Fuggerstraße and Welserstraße, allow approximately 15 minutes by taxi, depending on traffic.

Where to Stay Close to Testosterone

  • Staying in Kreuzberg or around Potsdamer Platz puts you closer to Gretchen.
  • Choose Schöneberg if you want to stay within walking distance of the Folsom Street Fair, fetish stores and Berlin’s main gay bars.
  • Recommended hotels close to Testosterone include:
  • Wil7 Boutique Hotel – Stylish boutique property on Wilhelmstraße and one of the closest recommended places to stay. Gretchen is around a 10-minute walk away.
  • The Posthouse Berlin Potsdamer Platz – Upscale property on Hallesche Straße with convenient access to Gretchen, Potsdamer Platz and central Berlin.
  • the YARD Berlin – Contemporary property in Kreuzberg offering a quieter base with Gretchen a short taxi ride away.
  • Scandic Berlin Potsdamer Platz – Modern property with good transport connections to Gretchen and the Folsom celebrations in Schöneberg.

Gay Berlin During Folsom

  • Schöneberg is our preferred district for visitors attending the complete Folsom Europe weekend.
  • Berlin’s traditional gay district centres around Nollendorfplatz, Motzstraße, Fuggerstraße and Welserstraße. Gay bars, cruising clubs, fetish stores, cafés and restaurants are concentrated within a compact area, making it easy to explore on foot.
  • During Folsom Europe, Fuggerstraße and Welserstraße become the focus of the weekend. The Folsom Europe Street Fair attracts thousands of leather and fetish visitors, and nearby bars run special events throughout the weekend.
  • WOOF Berlin on Fuggerstraße is particularly popular with bears, leather guys and fetish visitors and typically runs an extended Folsom programme.
  • The bars around Fuggerstraße and Motzstraße start filling from the afternoon, making this the best area for meeting friends before heading to the larger night parties.

Kreuzberg Gay Scene

  • Kreuzberg offers a different experience from Schöneberg and has a long association with Berlin’s alternative and queer nightlife.
  • Gretchen sits close to Mehringdamm, with restaurants, bars and late-night venues throughout the surrounding neighbourhood.
  • Gay and queer venues are spread across Kreuzberg rather than concentrated around a handful of streets. Visitors coming primarily for Folsom will find Schöneberg easier for daytime socialising, bars and meeting other international visitors.
  • Staying in Kreuzberg makes sense if Testosterone and other parties outside the traditional gay district are a priority.

Schöneberg or Kreuzberg – Where to Stay

  • For the complete Folsom experience, book hotels in Schöneberg.
  • You will be close to the Street Fair, fetish stores and many of Berlin’s busiest gay bars. On Friday night, take a taxi to Gretchen for Testosterone.
  • Choose hotels in Kreuzberg if Testosterone is one of your main events. You will have a shorter journey back after the party, with Schöneberg easily reached by U-Bahn or taxi.
  • Potsdamer Platz hotels offer a useful compromise between the two areas and excellent transport connections across Berlin.

Getting to Testosterone from the Gay District

  • From Nollendorfplatz, Motzstraße or Fuggerstraße in Schöneberg, a taxi is the easiest option and normally takes around 15 minutes, depending on traffic.
  • By public transport, travel towards Mehringdamm or Hallesches Tor and walk the final few minutes to Obentrautstraße.
  • Guests staying around Potsdamer Platz or Kreuzberg will have a shorter journey to Gretchen.

What to Expect During Folsom Weekend

  • Friday is one of the busiest nights of Folsom Europe, with major fetish parties and social events taking place across Berlin.
  • Spend the afternoon and early evening around Schöneberg, where bars surrounding Fuggerstraße and Motzstraße fill with international Folsom visitors.
  • Return to your hotel in Schöneberg to change into your gear before travelling to Gretchen.
  • Allow extra time for entry and coat check. Friday-night Folsom parties attract large crowds, and queues can build during the busiest arrival periods.
  • Check the latest ticket conditions and dress-code requirements before heading to the venue.

Folsom Europe 2027

  • Folsom Europe returns to Berlin from Wednesday 8th to Sunday 12th September 2027.
  • The weekend combines the famous Street Fair with leather gatherings, fetish parties, cruising events and social meet-ups across Berlin.
  • For most visitors, we recommend hotels in Schöneberg, putting you close to the main Folsom hub with Testosterone a short taxi ride away.
  • Check our complete GayTravel4u Folsom Europe Berlin Guide for the latest event schedule, party guides, places to stay and Street Fair information.
  • For tickets, dress-code details and the latest event announcements, visit the official Testosterone website.

Where to Stay

Base yourself in Schöneberg, ideally between Nollendorfplatz and Wittenbergplatz. This puts you within easy reach of Classic Meets Fetish, the Folsom Street Fair and the bars and cruising venues around Motzstraße and Fuggerstraße.

  • Mercure Hotel Berlin Wittenbergplatz – Fashion-inspired rooms overlooking Wittenbergplatz, right beside the U-Bahn and KaDeWe. A smart base for combining Folsom with shopping and sightseeing.
  • RIU Plaza Berlin – A larger hotel with generous rooms, a fitness centre and plenty of space for a longer weekend stay. Nollendorfplatz and the main Folsom action are an easy walk away.
  • Scandic Berlin Kurfürstendamm – A relaxed option on the western side of Schöneberg with a gym and sauna. Its quieter location works well if you want to escape the crowds after a long night.
  • SANA Berlin Hotel – Sleek rooms and apartments with an indoor pool, sauna and fitness area. The apartment options are particularly useful for guests staying for the full Folsom week.

Gay Map of Berlin

Being such a large city, gay neighbourhoods are scattered around Berlin, in the districts of Schöneberg and Kreuzberg (the western part of Berlin) as well as in Prenzlauer Berg (eastern part). Recently, the district of Friedrichshain developed a trendy area for upmarket coffee shops and cocktail bars. The majority of the gay hotels, bars, cafes and shops in Berlin are located in the Schöneberg district.
