The Quasimodo website
describes the club as, "
... one of the most renowned live clubs in
Europe, comparable to the 'Jazz Café' in
London or the 'New Morning' in Paris. This
well-established music club and café is
located in Berlin’s western quarter
Charlottenburg ... The Quasimodo shares
this historic building with the
'Vagantenbuehne' and the Delphi movie theatre,
which was one of Berlin’s most famous dance
halls in the 30s and 40s. The two parts of the
Quasimodo are the live club, which is suitably
located in the basement of the building -
appropriate for a real basement Jazz club -
and the café on top with its big summer
patio. .... A true gem of the
Quasimodo Café is the big summer patio. Based
on the historic design, it was remodelled in
1998, so the architectural connection between
the ‘Theater des Westens’ and the ‘Delphi’
palace, as designed by the architect Bernhard
Sehring, is visible again. Sehring had
designed the area of today’s patio as a
Mediterranean mansion garden, which was taken
up again with stone elements as pillars,
vases, reliefs and decorated walls."
