Retrospective The Year in Music: 2025

Our musical reviews take stock of the most exciting developments in German music over the past year. What trends shaped electronic music and pop, what happened in jazz, and what were the highlights in classical, new, and early music? We look at what was important—and what stood out in particular.

Berlin Nights

Failed robberies, chance encounters, and plenty of clubbing—what happens in Berlin after dark, when the lights go out (or stay on), is endless. This film collection offers an overview of the nighttime potential of the iconic capital and the diversity of characters who find themselves at the center of the action.
