STRICT SEXUAL FANTASY DRESSCODE | Conditional admission!

The most important criteria for admission to the KitKatClub are a generally tolerant attitude, willingness to communicate as well as utmost creative adoption of our “Sexual Fantasy Dresscode”. Specific guidelines for your outfit are quite incidental, as we set absolutely no limits to your hedonistic creativity.

In line with the theme of the night, we especially welcome “screechy, spooky, and greedy night creatures”! Also expressly welcome: COLORFUL – FLASHY – EXTRAVAGANT – CRAZY – IMAGINATIVE ACCESSORIES. And principally always suitable: Fetish – Lacquer – Leather – Latex – Rubber – Plastic – Metal – Nylon – Gothic – Costume – Uniform – Drag – Burlesque – Straps – Heels – Rhinestones – Baroque – Skirt – Kilt – Punk – Bodypainting – Extravagant elegant eveningwear – Style – Kink – Naughty – Porn – Make-up – Glamour – Glitter – Glittering – Imaginative accessories | IMPRESS WITH CREATIVITY + ORIGINALITY!

ABSOLUTE NO GOs: normal street clothes – street suits – jeans – sportswear – normal (black) cloth trousers – camouflage – cotton underwear – (worn-out) sneakers/sport shoes.

An important BASIC RULE as a guide: If you can stroll through the city centre in your outfit without anyone turning around to look at you, you are almost certainly wrong!

And for those who are unsure about the “right shell”, we recommend carrying an optional “second shell” to overcome our strict admission control.

MALE GUESTS significantly improve their chances of being admitted by opting for colorful hedonistic creativity instead of the all-too-common standard combination of “black pants/shorts + black top or black harness.” And a charming female companion can certainly boost chances of getting in. In any case, a creative, imaginative, and authentic hedonistic look is * and always will be * the key!

Don’t hide behind a fake facade—reinvent yourself!

// Kitty Midsummer Night’s Dream //

As this summer day delightfully slides into darkness, BOOTSHAUS opens its doors for one of the truely spectacular event nights of the year * the Kitty Summer Night’s Dream. Landolf, Alexa, Basti, and the entire Kitty crew invite you on an intoxicating journey filled with fantasy, sensuality, and dazzling escapades, freely based on the motto “Don’t dress up, rather reinvent yourself!” Expect a night full of daring inspirations, surreal creatures, and extravagantly staged characters. Amid psychedelic fantasy worlds, vibrant colors, and an electrifying atmosphere, BOOTSHAUS transforms into a hedonistic wonderland of a special kind. Access to this special night is based on three simple principles: openness, tolerance, and a desire for creative self-expression. In principle, EVERYTHING unmistakably incorporating the elements “imaginative” and “sensual” is welcome—from glamorous to avant-garde, from playful to eccentric.

The night is defined by the iconic black-light visuals of Berlin artist Vigor Calma, a spectacular Loonyland “Crazy Rabbit Hole” décor, surreal “Ziegfeld Follies” projections, black-light body painting, massage services, play area installations, the Kinky Candy Crew, a fresh fruit service, the highly sought-after VAULT Polaroids, and many other lovingly curated details. The outdoor atrium, featuring bar service, a smoking lounge, Currywurst + Pizza Deluxe as well as surreal walking acts, invites our guests to linger under the open sky of Cologne.

A distinctive feature of KitKatClub @ Bootshaus is its breathtakingly energetic dance floor – ecstatic * hypnotic * electrifying. The distinctive Kitty Groove is perpetrated by a dj lineup consisting of international legends and regionally acclaimed sound artists. First up on August 22 is Dutch DJ legend Lucien Foort, i.a. the most influential resident of legendary “Wasteland Amsterdam”. Joining him on the decks is Don Basti, a rising star from Berlin’s KitKatClub. And making his debut in the official Kitty Cologne lineup is our insider tip, DJ AL:PAY from BOOTSHAUS. Rounding out the ensemble is DJ Clark Kent, a true KitKatClub legend, known as the “master of sensual beats”, who over many years has converted practically every notable hedonistic dance floor across Europe into ecstasy. Thus, altogether ensuring that the BOOTSHAUS dance floor will transform into an inextricably intertwined bundle of high-voltage energy!

For many years now BOOTSHAUS is one of the most renowned clubs on the international electronic music scene. Regularly named Germany’s best techno club by the renowned music magazine “DJ Mag,” BOOTSHAUS attracts partygoers from all over the world. Where ship propellers were once manufactured, a uniquely distinctive universe of sound, light, and energy now shines. Because here, international DJ superstars take turns performing weekend after weekend.

FAQ

Founded in Berlin in 1994, the KitKatClub positions itself as an avant-garde meeting place that takes up the traditions of the „wicked“ Berlin night clubs of the „Golden Twenties“ and serves as a meeting place and source of inspiration for a colourful audience that accepts and promotes individuality, diversity of opinion and free forms of expression. Thus, the KitKatClub thus fuses multimedia and artistic elements into an innovative concept in keeping with the avant-garde “Zeitgeist”.

The special thing about the KitKatClub, which has been attracting guests from all over the world to Berlin for over 30 years now, was and is the mix of the audience: young and old, rich and poor, fat and thin, gay and straight, freaks and philistines, unemployed and academics. The boundaries between identities, generations and social classes are blurred on this shared hedonistic journey. A shared adult playground in a unique dimension for heteros, gays, fetishists of all colours, trannies and also the so-called „regular club crowd“.

An important BASIC RULE as a guide: if you can stroll through the city centre in your outfit without anyone turning around to look at you, you are very probably wrong. Don’t disguise yourself, reinvent yourself! And if you are unsure about the „right outfit“, we recommend carrying an optional „second cover“ to overcome our strict admission control: Sexual-Fantasy-Dresscode

For our „KitKatClub on Tour“ events, we have been offering exclusively evening box office in conjunction with cash payment since 2003, closely modelled on our Berlin-based parent club. Admission costs your wits or 35 thalers or both! And tickets paid for at the box office must be presented at the 2nd admission control as a prerequisite for access to the event area. The „Obolus“ charged includes admission to the event. Cloakroom + drinks are charged separately. Cash + card payment is optional for catering consumption.

In the respective event location we offer a changing area + a guarded cloakroom. 3 Euro for jackets/coats and 5 Euro for bags/luggage (= cash payment only) at the BOOTSHAUS in Cologne.

For guests with less luggage/wardrobe we offer a limited number of lockers Medium (40 cm x 29 cm x 22 cm) at 7 Euro and lockers Large (40 cm x 29 cm x 32 cm) at 10 Euro (= also cash payment only). This makes it possible to bypass the regular cloakroom check-in completely.

Photography and mobile phones are strictly prohibited at all „KitKatClub on Tour“ events. Anyone attempting to smuggle such items through the 2nd entry control will be allowed to continue partying 100% safely OUTSIDE!

Our aim is to ensure an unconditionally non-discriminatory, non-judgemental space in which all guests feel welcome and respected. And this is the responsibility of everyone present. We do not tolerate any form of discrimination, sexism or racism; take care of each other; anyone who feels threatened, harassed or uncomfortable or needs support in any way can turn to our KitKatClub crew throughout the event in front of each play area + and in the cloakroom tent as helpful contacts for concerns of all kinds * clearly recognisable by the „KitKatClub Crew“ badge + neon light wristbands.

If you notice that another person needs help, please contact the person concerned. Do not leave it up to „the others“ to become active, and only YES means YES! Always act according to the principle of consensus: actions and conversations only take place with mutual consent. ALWAYS make sure that the other person is clearly signalling that they want to talk and/or interact with you, and the „PLAY AREA RULES OF PLAY“ banners apply in front of all play areas and in the cloakroom area.

Abusive guests will be removed from the premises + will be banned from the premises: – RESPECT + CONSENT IS PARAMOUNT- NO TOUCHING WITHOUT CONSENT- NO MEANS NO- PRACTISE „SAFE SEX“- CLEAN UP IF NECESSARY- NO DRINKS IN THE PLAY AREAS- NO DRUGS- NO SMOKING- PLAY AREA IS NOT A CHILL AREA- CONTACT THE KITTY CREW IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

One of the KitKatClub’s signature features is its uniquely energetic dancefloor, each represented by at least two Kitty residents and a local DJ*ane Hero/Heroine * including DJ Clark Kent, KitKatClub DJ legend, who has already brought (almost) every veritable fetish dance event in Europe and beyond to a boil. This guarantees that the dancefloor will be transformed into an inextricably intertwined bundle of energy under high voltage * primarily with the elements „uplifting Techno“, „energetic TechHouse“ + „Progressive Trance“.
