Munich - P1

The "P1" in Munich is one of the most famous clubs in germany and known for a lot of celebrities spending their nights there. This is how the club descripes itself on his page:

" "Being hip is a temporary phenomenon, being the best is an art." (ALECCO, owner of the P1 club in the late 60s)

P1 DISCO THEATRE IN »HAUS DER KUNST« - "DISCO THEATER"
60 years after it was established, and six years after the last major reconstruction the P1 is once again on the brink of an exciting new development. While the rooms in the basement are transformed into a new, grand club scenery, the extraordinary theatre hall in the Haus der Kunst will set the stage for a unique disco theatre over the next 10 months.

P1 BAR In October 2009, the P1 bar opened at the west entrance. From 7 p.m. Tuesday thru Saturday the probably best pizza in town is served in a stylish but casual atmosphere. The four-meter-high altar bar with over 60 brands of vodka from around the world is striking. As the perfect complement, the professional bartender know exactly how to mix and serve the perfect drink.
P1 CLUB THEATRE HALL The P1 Club was next in November 2009. The monumental premises surrounding the 16-meter-high auditorium easily accommodate up to 1,100 guests. The entrance is via the north terrace with its spectacular backdrop of pillars and a magnificient view of the English Garden.

At the center of the club is the 90 sqm dance floor right at the DJ console. It is lined with dance podiums and six bars. Seat boxes at different height levels provide an illustrious retreat.
The hall is equipped with fantastic theatre acoustics and a high-class sound system. 16 video projectors and a sophisticated lighting concept complete the conditions for extravagant enactments. Thus optimal conditions at the highest level are created for various events – set menus, product presentations, fashion shows and concerts.

The entertainment program sets new standards in the Munich club scene. Professional artists, actors and free spirits dance, entertain, stimulate and lead you into the dream worlds of the disco theatre. Every Friday there are some genuine booking highlights - from local heroes to live acts to DJs of international renown. A VJ translates the sound into images perfectly.
The theatre hall will be home to P1 until approx. September 2010, the opening of the new club in the basement is planned after that.

HISTORY The history of the P1 began in 1949 when, in today's Cafe 'Golden Bar', at the Haus der Kunst, an officer’s club opened – the US-Citizens stationed in Munich abbreviated the name of the street where it was located, Prinzregentenstraße 1, and simply called it 'P-one'.

In the 60s the Officer's Club was converted to an "art studio". The Greek Alecco led the nightclub to fame and glory, and shaped the still valid basic principle of the P1.

1984 the young Michael Käfer was the first to bring to Munich the philosophy he had learned at the legendary Studio 54 in New York. With spectacular parties, a strict door policy and high-profile guests P1 quickly became Germany's most famous nightclub.

Meantime Michael Käfer has transferred the operational management to his longtime CEO Franz Rauch, who in 2002 became a part owner of P1 with the corporate group ROKUNDCO. This was followed by a successful re-launch with the support of the star architect Matteo Thun.

Six years on new standards are to be set in the club culture once more. To meet the requirements of a premium location now and in future, the P1 is currently being fully renovated. The new P1 Club will open in autumn 2010 and in terms of creativity and exclusiveness live up to it’s reputation."
