Sign up Thank you for subscribing We have more newsletters Show me See our privacy notice Berlin's nightclubs are renowned for their hedonistic but sometimes seedy atmosphere which sees revellers go far beyond what is acceptable in most British venues. Raunchy antics are often ignored by club owners and staff, mostly thanks to the city's open-minded attitudes to sex and drug use. One legendary institution, the KitKatClub, is famous for openly encouraging guests to perform sex acts while on the dancefloor. The techno club hit the news today after one guest picked up bacterial meningitis at the venue last Saturday, sparking a city-wide alert which asked guests to visit doctors for tests. Like Berghain and neighbouring Panorama Bar, these clubs have staunchly refused to clean up their acts despite growing in popularity. Speaking anonymously, one Londoner lifted the lid on what really goes on in the sex-obsessed bar after visiting with friends. (Image: ullstein bild) The 26-year-old told Mirror Online: "We'd never been to Berlin before so me and a couple mates booked our trip in January through a travel website. "One of my friends had heard about the club so we decided we wanted to check it out. " After a day of sightseeing, the three lads made their way to the club from their hotel. Following a 30-minute journey, they arrived at KitKatClub, located in a former industrial section of central Berlin. They knocked on the door which was partially opened by a woman who looked them up and down before they went in. They were initially turned away by staff because the club only admits patrons who wear fetish or bondage gear. (Image: ullstein bild) "At first we nearly didn't get in because we were wearing normal clothes," he said. "But we had the idea of taking our tops off and the guys at the door let us straight in." The man says he couldn't believe his eyes when he stepped through the doors. They were confronted by a small group of clubgoers wearing a variety of outlandish leather clothing. "As soon as I got in, the first thing I saw was an overweight middle-aged man being led by young women across the nightclub," he said. "We sat down on a sofa where we were given body paint to use all over our body. "While we were sitting down a man in a gimp mask approached us. He put his hands down my friend's pants, which he wasn't too happy about." (Image: ullstein bild) The guys danced for around an hour before discovering the upstairs area - just as the nightclub was filling up. Our anonymous club-goer added: "When we went upstairs we saw a couple, aged around 30, having sex on a doctor's chair. "The woman was lying on her back while her partner was on top." It wasn't long before he had his own sexual encounter. While sitting down he was approached by a 25-year-old American brunette wearing fishnet stockings. He said: "On one of the sofas downstairs, a woman came up to me and we had sex there and then. "We didn't talk until afterwards." The lads stayed at the KitKatClub until 3.30am when they decided to finally pack it in and go back to their hotel. The man said the jaw-dropping experience was too much to handle for some of the gang. "One of my friends wasn't too happy because he had a girlfriend and didn't want to get involved", he said. "Another was annoyed because he didn't get a girl and was touched up by another bloke. "My mates were pretty taken aback by the whole experience, it was nothing like the clubs in London, to be honest. "Never seen anything like it before in my life - not sure if I want to!"<doc-sep>Visitors to a famous sex club in Berlin have been urged to seek medical treatment after a clubber was taken ill with bacterial meningitis. The KitKat Club said the man was in a serious condition in hospital after attending a party on Saturday night. “Unfortunately, the sick guest is very bad, so it was not possible to ask who he had closer contact with at the club,” it said on its Facebook page. Instead it asked anyone who experienced sudden chills, fever or a nasal infection to seek immediate help. “While infections in the club were very unlikely according to doctors and authorities... anybody suffering from symptoms should immediately see a doctor,” it added. The club said that none of its employees had shown any symptoms so far, but all had been offered antibiotics as a preventive measure. If left untreated, bacterial meningitis can cause life-threatening blood poisoning or sepsis.<doc-sep>First Name Last Name We will use the details you have shared to manage your registration.

A patron at the KitKatClub was rushed to hospital after he was suspected of contracting bacterial meningitis at the venue on Saturday. Authorities in the German capital were informed about the incident this week by the club's owners, and issued a city-wide alert, asking those who attended the club to seek urgent medical attention. Staff have already undergone tests and were offered a course of antibiotics as a preventative measure. (Image: ullstein bild) (Image: ullstein bild) *Have you been to the KitKatClub in Berlin? Email webnews@mirror.com A statement by the night club on Facebook said "while infections in the club were very unlikely according to doctors and authorities … anybody suffering from symptoms should immediately see a doctor". According to the post, the man is in a 'serious condition' and as a result has not been able to recall what sexual contact he had. "For this reason, the Health Department decided to issue a press release. The idea was to inform as many people as possible who also visited the club last Saturday," it wrote. The man had been attending a "CarneBall Bizarre" fetish party, according to German broadcaster Deutsche Welle. The evening has a dress code of "fetish, patent and leather, uniforms, TV, goth, costumes, elegant evening wear, glitz & glamour, extravagant clothes of any kind" and included playrooms and separate chillout areas. Bacterial Meningitis can spread by saliva and close body contact and, once contracted, can become fatal within hours. (Image: ullstein bild) (Image: ullstein bild) Symptoms include strong headaches , high fever, a stiff neck, dizziness and weakness. The techno club, located in Berlin's Mitte district, was set up in 1994 by Austrian pornographic filmmaker Simon Thaur and his partner Kirsten Kruger. Guests are encouraged to openly engage in sexual intercourse at the venue, which enforces a strict BDSM dress code. City officials said there is no reason to shut down the club because it was not the source of the infection and the building itself had not been contaminated. Nightclubs in Berlin are known for their hedonistic and often sexually liberal attitudes. In 2016, a humorous review of Berlin's famous Berghain nightclub went viral due to its outlandish tale of sex acts and vampires. (Image: Getty) (Image: Getty) An American tourist known as 'Kyle W' San Antonio, Texas gave the techno mecca just one star after supposedly experiencing a night he would rather forget. Kyle's Yelp profile indicated that was a keen reviewer who enjoyed strip clubs and budget restaurants. His write-up of the German rave warehouse has since been taken down. During the long-winded review, he claimed a "Nazi-looking guy" tried to inject him with speed. He also said that a "vampire dude" made a pass at him in an extremely forward manner. "I throw a beer bottle at him and start hauling a** out of there," Kyle said.<doc-sep>
