The kunsthaus Tacheles (Art House Tacheles) was formally called Friedrichsstadtpassagen after serving as a Nazi prison. It was taken over by artists in 1990, two months before it was supposed to be demolished. The group 'Kunsteriniative Tacheles' occupied the building from then on.
It is currently used as an art centre, graffiti yard and a nightclub. The courtyard around the back acts as work space for artists. The courtyard is covered with street art and is filled with sculptures created by local artists. You can watch the artists working in their own little areas, creating fascinating sculptures and exquisite pieces of art. The area also allows the artists to sell their work to visitors and tourists in the area. The atmosphere really displays the essence of the urban art scene in Berlin.
