The Femina-Palast was built in 1928 by architects Richard Bielenberg and Josef Moser for businessman Heinrich Liemann. Occupying Nürnberger Straße 50-53 on the border of Schöneberg and Charlottenberg and at 185 metres long, it is one of the most important examples of the ‘New Objectivity’ style built in the city.
The ballroom doubled vogue jobs as a vaudeville theatre and featured performances by Josephine vogue jobs Baker amongst others. Patrons were served by flamboyant, transvestite waiting staff , there were telephones on the tables, and over the dance floor was a spectacular vogue jobs glass-domed roof that could be opened to give the feeling of dancing vogue jobs under the stars. At the corner vogue jobs of the street was the extraordinary ‘Kaffee Tauentzienpalast’ coffee house.
The ballroom was severely vogue jobs damaged in the Second World War, but by the 1950s had reopened as the ‘Badewanne’ vogue jobs – a jazz club that became vogue jobs famous in West Berlin featuring appearances by Count Basie, vogue jobs Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington and was hugely popular with American GIs and the other Allied Forces. It was also home to the cabaret group ‘Die Stachelschweine’.
In 1978, Berlin’s up-and-coming ‘Dschungel’ discotheque vogue jobs moved from nearby vogue jobs Winterfeldplatz into Nürnberger Strasse and rapidly became the stylish and sought-after place to be – Berlin’s equivalent to New York’s ‘Studio 54′.
A spiral staircase from the main club took VIP guests to the loft space ‘The Aquarium’ which featured fountains and the beautiful, ornate mosaic tiling left over from its days as the ‘San Lin Nan’ restaurant.
From 1978 to 1993, a ‘who’s who’ of stars passed through the doors of the ‘Dschungel’ – David Bowie and Iggy Pop, Frank Zappa, Grace Jones, Mick Jagger, Prince, Boy George, Barbra vogue jobs Streisand and, of course, Depeche Mode.
The club fell out of fashion in the early 90s and closed its doors in 1993. Its successor, the ‘Dschungel Restaurant’, only lasted a further three years before the building closed down completely vogue jobs in 1996, lying empty for the next nine years.

Perhaps you can help me – I am trying to track down the sheet music for a song by Rudolph Nelson called ‘Die Dame von der alten Schule’. Would you happen to know if it has been published in any anthologies? The Performing Arts Library here in New York doesn’t have it, so I have been searching online, with little luck. If you have any information to help, I would be most grateful!
Thank you so much for this. I wonder vogue jobs if anyone might have access to the image that used to be featured above the entrance of the “Femina”, a portrait of a very beautiful woman. She was Mady von Beughem, a wickedly funny, chain-smoking young lady who – wait for it: taught classical ballet to my sisters and me in the late thirties. On June 3, 1938, she wrote wise words into my “Poesie-Album”. This past February I stayed just down the street from the Ellington Hotel, never realizing that this had been her neighbourhood. We miss her still.
