The familiar neon sign in the shape of a colorful parrot in the window of Schwarzes Café, Kantstraße 148, Berlin-Charlottenburg (2023).
The bar and café is known among Berliners and visitors to Berlin especially for the colorful parrot logo, which is emblazoned as a neon sign in the window facing Kantstrasse next to the entrance.
Schwarzes Café was one of the many projects by Berlin anarchist (Sponti), and "event & concert organizer legend" Monika Döring. Together with the Holger Klotzbach, later to become a known cabaret artist, and others. Döring opened the Schwarzes Café in 1977 at Kantstrasse 148, Berlin-Charlottenburg in what at the time was West Berlin.
This era and the West Berlin music and culture scene were impressively documented by the photographer Petra Gall, whose photographic legacy is managed by the Schwules Museum* (English: Gay Museum*), Berlin. Among the photos are many outstanding images of Monika Döring as a central figure in this scene.
The pub is still very popular and has experienced a kind of renaissance in recent years when it was "rediscovered" by young, hip Berliners.
