Schön, dass du den Weg hierher gefunden hast. Damit hast du den schwierigsten Teil schon geschafft. Jetzt heißt es: ankommen, treiben lassen, eintauchen. Klingt gut? Fühlt sich richtig an? Dann bleib.

Das Chimaera geht in die vierte Runde. Ein ehrenamtlich organisiertes, unkommerzielles Festival – von Ravern für Raver. Verwurzelt in der Subkultur, geschaffen für die Subkultur. Kein Sponsoring-Zirkus, kein Hochglanz, kein Attitude – sondern ehrliche Leidenschaft, kollektive Energie und ein Raum, der uns allen gehört.

Zwischen Wald und Wasser, an der Klingemühle vor den Toren Berlins, entsteht für ein paar Tage eine eigene Welt: fein kuratierte elektronische Musik, Live-Acts, Bands, Workshops, Sauna, Kunst und FUNFUNFUN auf fünf Floors. Hochwertiger Sound und durchdachte Lichtkonzepte treffen auf hochwertige Infrastruktur – Urlaub für alle, ohne den intimen Vibe zu verlieren.

Warst du noch nie da? Vielleicht wird’s Zeit.

Warst du schon da? Dann weißt du, was zu tun ist.

Wir freuen uns auf dich!

// Das Chimaera Festival 2026 wird gefördert durch die Initiative Musik und den Beauftragten der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien.

________________________________

Glad you found your way here. With that, you’ve already completed the hardest part. Now it’s time to arrive, drift away, and dive in. Sounds good? Feels right? Then stay.

Chimaera is entering its fourth edition. A volunteer-run, non-commercial festival — by ravers, for ravers. Rooted in subculture, built for the subculture. No sponsors, no glossy facade, no attitude — just genuine passion, collective energy, and a space that belongs to all of us.

Between forest and water, at Klingemühle just outside Berlin, a world of its own emerges for a few days: carefully curated electronic music, live acts, bands, workshops, sauna, art, and FUNFUNFUN across five floors. High-quality sound and thoughtful lighting concepts meet solid infrastructure — a holiday for everyone without losing its intimate vibe.

Never been before? Maybe it’s time.

Been there already? Then you know what to do.

We can’t wait to have you with us.

// The Chimaera Festival 2026 is supported by Initiative Musik and the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
