After allegedly attending 101 Ramones concerts and narrowly avoiding death after nearly drowning in the memorabilia that his home had begun to overflow with, die-hard fan Florian Hayler decided that it was probably time to take his fandom of the legendary punk band to the next level and open up this beacon of blitzkrieg bop.

Hayler himself is also quick to remind visitors of Berlin’s influence on bassist and songwriter Dee Dee Ramone, who spent a large part of his childhood in the city and penned the songs “Born to Die in Berlin” and “It’s a Long Way Back to Germany”. Lecture aside, there’s no denying that the amassed collection is impressive—the place is chock full of posters, shirts, photos (including some from Johnny and Joey’s childhood), early fliers and even an exhibit giving a detailed history of the Ramones emblem. Now there’s something worth learning in school.
