Dimitri Hegemann is a German nightclub owner, cultural activist and community organizer, currently living and working in Berlin, Germany. ==Early life and career== Dietmar-Maria "Dimitri" Hegemann was born in Werl in Westfalia, West Germany in August 26th, 1954. He moved to be part of the developing art, music and social scenes in West Berlin and began studying musicology in Münster, and after relocation, at the Free University Berlin in 1978. He played the bass in the locally known band "Leningrad Sandwich". Between 1982 and 1990, he organized five Berlin Atonal Festivals, featuring underground artists such as Psychic TV, Einstürzende Neubauten, Test Dept, 808 State and Die Haut. In 1986, he opened a gallery in an old shoe store, which he called the Fischburo, a name inspired by the Dadaist movement. In the gallery's basement in 1988 he opened the acid house club UFo. Though the basement room had a ladder for access, and space for only 100 people, UFo hosted the after-party celebration of the first Love Parade in 1989. After the wall came down, Dimitri and his friends opened the techno club Tresor, which was located between the two infamous walls - in the heart of the reunited city. Tresor became the launchpad for a youth culture movement of the last century, inspired by techno, the futuristic dance sound made in Detroit. A relationship between Hegemann and Detroit artists Mike Banks and Jeff Mills of Underground Resistance began and continues to this day. In 2005, the council of Berlin sold the ground where Tresor was located to an insurance company and Tresor had to move out. In March 2007, Hegemann found a new home for the club in an abandoned power plant in the middle of Berlin. The new home is called Kraftwerk Berlin and features art, music, and cultural events across several genres. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dimitri Hegemann」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
