6:02 pm
during the cold war. then reunited and reborn. berlin is a city of ghosts. an ever-evolving space where memories and new ideas live side by side. in between and after the wars, berlin has always been a place where you find what you want. or what you think you need. what you can't get back home. a place where fantasies could come true. it's all here. if you know where to look. it's no coincidence. it's a natural progression really that berlin's nightlife is excessive. completely and proudly uninhibited and never ending.
6:03 pm
there are clubs for everybody. and many are friendly towards whatever your personal lifestyle club culture is the pride of berliners. and draws millions of thrill seekers from all over the world. it is notoriously difficult to navigate, however. and finding the right place, with the right mix, that will actually let you in the door can be a challenge. who decides who gets in keeps each place with its own, personal, non-judgmental balance, are people like frank kuenster. for 25 years, he's been the gatekeeper and bouncer at some of berlin's most infamous club doorways. you were described as a legendary doorman. >> frank: yeah, maybe. >> anthony: um, owner? >> frank: the last few years i've owned the bar. >> anthony: right.
6:04 pm
um, a professional partier in berlin, what time do they show up at the club? >> frank: 6:00 in the morning. >> anthony: no way. >> frank: oh yes, of course. >> anthony: so wait a minute, you arrive at 6:00 a.m.? >> frank: and then the clubs, they go from saturday evening to monday morning without any break. so people go there normally sunday morning, and then they dance sunday whole day and all night, and go home monday morning. >> anthony: all right, so you're talking 24 hours. >> frank: no, 36 hours. no problem. >> anthony: 36 hours? what are you doing for 36 hours in a club? >> frank: dancing, talking, chilling, hugging, whatever. >> anthony: i don't want to do any of those things for 36 hours, personally. i mean -- [speaking german] >> frank: um, i have to begin, sorry. >> anthony: as a large man, with a physically challenging job,
6:05 pm
frank likes meat, as i do. so, a long established butcher shop like fleischerei domke is just what the both of us need. pork schnitzel with murky delicious brown gravy and boulette, which i gather is german for meatballs, is the kind of working class food one wants and needs. so, what attracted you to this business? >> frank: the night had always like a -- i always was attracted to the night. i think people in the night, when they are on alcohol or drugs open their mind. also, because it's dark, they are more free, their mind. i found that interesting. >> anthony: berlin is world famous for club scene. why here?
6:06 pm
>> frank: i think because we are the last liberal city. like real liberal, you know? the people can afford being here. it's cheap to drink. it's cheap to live. it's cheap to eat. and people come here because of the freedom to party. to get wasted as hard as possible. >> anthony: how about the police and the government at this time? you know, you got thousands of people taking ecstasy and dancing all night till 11:00, 12:00 the next day. >> frank: i think the government knows. i know policemen, and they know about, like, people doing drugs and they come to our clubs. do drugs by themselves, or not, or they drink. but they accept and everybody's cool with it. berlin is a party city. it's no real industry besides a party industry, and so, so many tourists coming only because of that from spain, from italy, from russia, from u.s., from uk, to get totally lost and totally wasted. but not in a bad way. just like in a buddhistic way. it's like in the moment. you get lost.
6:07 pm
you can't find yourself, and that, i think, what excess is about. pure hedonism. >> anthony: come to berlin. get high. party. ♪ the wall. an absurd, tragic, almost metaphoric but all too real expression of humanity's failure and depravity. a 96 mile stretch of concrete and razor wire cut berlin into an island of capitalistic west, and grey, soul crushing, repressive, communist east. they keep a few chunks of it around. a reminder of terror. of triumph. or simply to take selfies in front of.
6:08 pm
every day, fewer and fewer remember that the world almost ended, right here. even as the wall fell, techno music seemed to express something that needed to be expressed. dance music, and ecstasy, and mammoth nightclubs exploded across a reunited berlin. during that time, dj's like ellen allien were pioneers of a new sound and a new generation, east and west, a unifying force. ♪ >> ellen: sausage is my favorite food. as a german, you need sausage. >> anthony: yeah, it's good. >> ellen: i like it with the

6:10 pm
it's very deeply in our blood. that's why it's so strong for me. still, being a dj because this time was a very strong impact for my soul. >> anthony: over time, so many artists, musicians, writers from elsewhere have come to berlin. it's always been sort of a magnet for artists, for a lot of reasons. why do you think of here of all places, would be so welcoming and attractive to creative people? >> ellen: i think after the second war, everything was burned here. there was nothing. nothing was here. only like broken stones, you know? everything was gone. all the history. so, people start building up the new berlin, or whatever, and we

have still not processed, you know? and when you come here, you have the feeling that you have to help, to build something here. i'm a part of it. if i go to paris, i am not thinking, "i'm a part of paris." i'm not because there's so much history you can see in rome. think only about the rome history. >> anthony: yes. >> ellen: because there's everything you can touch, it's an open-air museum. but here, you have the feeling you built something and i think that's why so many people come here. when i'm here, i start being so creative because it makes something to me. it's a very quiet city, but also there is something holding you, you know? something that you have the feeling you want to be a part of. and i think that's why many people come here. >> anthony: there's no past. there's only a future. in a sense. you can create your own world here. >> ellen: yeah, exactly. yeah. ♪

6:18 pm
>> anton: so, this has to come out. so, it was cooking from almost 1:00 to 6:00, maybe. i also made sweet potatoes, and stabbed those and wrapped them in foil. and covered the bottom of the oven with foil because they tend to leak sugar, and it's very hard to clean that stuff, but that's what they do. ♪ i mash potatoes, very simple. [backwards voices] this is good stuff. i think that's the basic stuff

6:20 pm
lot of people coming up, you know, yearned for. i wonder what thrills you? >> anton: i like -- music is a puzzle to me, because i'm self- taught. so, i basically have to teach myself every idea that's going through my mind, and they're going really quick. so, it's like a race to accomplish it. >> anthony: what's your turn around time? because it's legendary. like, between recording, you're smiling, and releasing? >> anton: well we had been making a song a day. like, in between cooking right here, i was able to record with her. it's no problem. and i constantly want to challenge myself. and right now i want my music to have a certain amount of energy, because i'm 50, and i want to prove to people that it's irrelevant how old you are. i just enjoy playing music. that's why i'm 50 years old and playing music. you know what i mean? i just want to remind people that they can just do what they want to do. and i'm going to go ahead and do

>> anthony: berlin has a dark side. but you knew this. you don't have to look too hard. but renowned photographer miron zownir has been looking with a fixed gaze on people in the margins for decades. for over 40 years, he's worked diligently to capture the world's darker shades. its most marginalized people, the outsiders, the transgressive, the forgotten, the desperate and depraved. always in a non-judgmental, unblinking way. these are some of the shots we can put on tv. many we can't. i urge you to find them.

you've shot with a lot of hustlers, dope addicts, prostitutes -- how did you approach your subjects? right up, right in, picture -- or do you establish a relationship? >> miron: it's always depending on the situation. some were not aware of me, others were exhibitionists. i had fights, but most of the time, i didn't have any problems because they were situations, i knew, okay, now i better retreat or i get my ass kicked. and i had a very good sense of how far you can go. >> anthony: in recent years, miron has been making films as well. shooting in abandoned spaces, celebrating all that is taboo, all that is wrong, all that is right about berlin. >> he restoreth my soul.

>> anthony: with an unflinching gaze and a genuine affection for his subjects and characters. berlin has a reputation as a place that you can come and be anything you want, behave pretty much as you want, nobody's going to hassle with you. is that true, do you think, and why? >> miron: endemic art is still possible. this is really important. you can create here independently, affording your little space, and do what you want to do. of all the capitals in europe, it's still the cheapest and more affordable. maybe you don't get anywhere, maybe you don't make much money, but you can create freely. no artist in new york city, paris or london can do this. >> anthony: well, you can't even rent the space.

in new york. >> miron: no, yeah. only if you really establish artist you can live in these places. so you can come to berlin, and you can have maybe a little show in some basement or cellar, and at least it's a start, and it's an interaction. and this is good. and this is really good about berlin, and what was always good about berlin. >> anthony: echoes of lives lived, lives lost. no other city has been repeatedly so powerful then fallen so low. few other cities have been so shaped by individual imaginations, either brilliantly creative or unspeakably evil. start again. start again.
