Berlin’s Most Famous Ballroom Ended Up in Ruins

Residenz Casino

The most spectacular ballroom in Berlin was called Resi and was the place for dancing, flirting, and luxurious entertainment. World War II brought dancing to an abrupt end

Ballrooms had their heyday in Berlin 100 years ago. The First World War was over, and the emperor had abdicated.

In Berlin, both Berliners and the many foreigners who came to the electrified metropolis flirted and danced in the city’s many ballrooms. The most spectacular was called Residenz-Casino or just Resi by the Berliners.
