Peppi Guggenheim in Berlin is much more than just a neighborhood bar—for 15 years, it has been a one-of-a-kind meeting place for music, art, and community in the heart of the district of Neukölln. Peppi has an extensive cultural program: Outstanding jazz concerts and performances take place on Fridays and Saturdays, DJ evenings on Thursdays, and PeppiOke every first Monday in the month. All of this takes place on a donation basis, which would not be possible without the volunteer engagements of the numerous culture lovers who regard Peppi as a home away from home.
But Peppi’s existence is now at stake: Corona and an onerous tax debt have brought the bar to its knees. The tax office has now decided to Peppi’s disadvantage in connection with losses at the bar due musicians, artists, and volunteers receiving free drinks. While Peppi’s program has never generated real financial profits, it has attracted the support and huge dedication of a passionate, multinational team.
We now need you to help save Peppi—and thus our motto: come, enjoy, drink, donate!
Why is the Peppi that important?
- Culture for Everyone – Our events—whether international jazz or performances—are and will remain admission-free so that truly everyone can enjoy them.
- Cultural Legacy – The concerts are professionally recorded and filmed, live-streamed, and archived so that they are accessible for everyone—something that the bands highly appreciate.
- Neighborhood Hotspot – Peppi is a social anchor point in Berlin-Neukölln. A lively place for encounters, where openness, tolerance, and coexistence are lived.
