German Fetish Ball moves to Hamburg
by Anita Tsia on Jan.07, 2010, under Fashion Show
The flyer for the 2010 German Fetish Ball states “Bye Bye Berlin Hello Hamburg”, clearly indicating that after six years the event moves to another place.The exact days are May 13-16 2010.
There were several reasons that lead the organizers to this decision. To quote them:
“First of all GFB was colliding with Wave Gothic Treffen in Leipzig, a huge Goth festival and there are companies and guests that feel at home in both scenes. All of them had to decide each year where to go and what to do. This wasn’t good and we would love to offer everyone the chance to attend both events. Unfortunately there is no way to have the huge Matrix along with the Narva and M Lounge on a regular Saturday. So moving the date meant moving the venue too. This is why we decided to move to Germany’s 2nd biggest town. Hamburg is not only a great port town with a huge nightlife, but also birthplace of the German bdsm and fetish scene and the true kink capital. 2 BDSM bars, one Burlesque Bar, a huge BDSM and Fetish party venue, lots of munches, groups, studios, parties… it is the must see place when it is about kink. So the decision for Hamburg was easy, as it offers more kinky stuff then Berlin and the city is as great for tourists. Plus the change now allows us to have one hotel for most of our guests. In Hamburg we already have a hotel that can accommodate 500 fetish and bdsm people next to the venues. And the Himmelfahrt day (Ascension day) on Thursday is a holiday in most European countries, so we can now party from Wednesday night to Sunday afternoon, five days of fetish fun and lots of more guests to come.”
The move to Hamburg is already awaking high expectations and so the organizers are determined to make the great GFB Weekend even better. There is no better way to check if they keep their word then going to Hamburg,2010.
