Together against Spiking

For some time we have been receiving reports of spiking in Berlin clubs. We take these reports very seriously and are in contact with various experts and organisations. Our aim is to create spaces where everyone can feel safe. Instead of telling potential victims how to protect themselves from spiking, we have to do everything we can to prevent these acts and exclude perpetrators from our places.

In the meantime, cases of needle spiking have also been reported in Berlin. What is particularly worrying is that so far there is hardly any reliable knowledge about the substances used, the perpetrators or the motives. The lack of awareness of how to deal with spiking victims on the part of guests, staff or rescue services makes it difficult to clarify the situation. The dangers that can arise in combination with the voluntary use of legalised or illegalised substances should not be underestimated. We can only deal with these challenges together.

On 16 June, we would like to exchange ideas with you about spiking in the Berlin club scene and discuss what measures we can take. We have invited experts to speak from the perspective of medical professionals, drug field professionals and victim support groups. In addition, we would like to invite everyone to contribute their own perspectives and approaches in a town hall format.
