The MAXIM youth club is situated in the city district Weissensee in the north-eastern part of Berlin. It is a house for kids and teens with a lot of opportunity to explore interests and to put them into practice. It is a place for work, for fun, a place to relax, to make music and enjoy concerts. The house is surrounded by a large garden.
