Palais Bingen

Palais Bingen, originally and best known as Palazzo, was a multi-purpose event hall and nightclub located in the Alte Stadthalle on the Rhine embankment in Bingen am Rhein, Germany. Operating from 1989 until 2003, it was one of the first clubs in Germany to dedicate itself to electronic dance music, hosting DJs across trance, progressive techno, minimal techno, electro, house and hardcore techno. With three dance floors and a capacity of over 2,000 people, it became a significant venue in the early German techno scene. The club experienced several closures, renovations and reopenings before finally closing in its original form in 2003. To mark the occasion, the farewell anthem "The End" by Tube-Tech — a cover of the Doors song — became one of the best-selling techno records of 2003 and entered the German singles charts. The building was subsequently leased multiple times and in 2015 was sold to the operators of the Zollamt restaurant. Under the Palazzo name, a series of mix compilations was released, featuring DJs such as Marco Remus, Gayle San, DJ Rush, Eric Sneo, Pet Duo, Valentino Kanzyani and Felix Kröcher. The venue is remembered as a landmark of the German electronic music scene, and its legacy is tied to the physical site that now houses the Zollamt Restaurant Bingen.
