Café Keese (Berlin)
The Café Keese is a well-known dance hall in the Berlin district of Charlottenburg near the Schiller Theater , which was designed based on the model of the Café Keese in Hamburg. The bar is known for the Paradox ball , at which women invite men to dance, and for the 135 table telephones installed at all tables. The restaurant has 400 seats, 2 bars, an approx. 80 m² central dance floor and a stage.
history
The Café Keese was founded in August 1966 after the Café Keese founded by Bernhard Keese in Hamburg in 1948. Until 1989 both cafes were managed by Bernhard Keese. The construction of the wall and the associated border controls on the transit route made the trips back and forth from Hamburg to Berlin too expensive for Keese, which is why the bar in Berlin was sold to Arno Manke. In 1992, desk telephones were installed at all 135 tables to establish contact for a dance. The café is currently being run in the third generation from 1969 by Nadine Ludwig-Kibwebwe and her husband Frank Kibwebwe. The dance hall has often been chosen for film shoots such as the film Beyond the Sea with Kevin Spacey . The motto is Honi soit qui mal y pense , "A rogue who thinks evil".
