German Diskos?

Question

I am visiting germany, more specifically staying in ascheberg about 30 mins for dortmund, for an exchange program in july. My host sister is 18 and wants to take me to some of the diskos in dortmund but the problem is i won't be turning 18 til five days after I LEAVE!!!! How strict are they on age limits for entrances into the diskos? Any ideas how i could get in? Sould I risk getting a Fake american driver license saying i am 18 and attempt to see if i could get in? If worse comes to worse she works at Giga Parc which i am told is a big club and she said she could try and get me in. What does everybody think?

Answer 1

pretty sure you can drink at 16...when your 18 the you can stay all night but being 16 you have to leave round 12...and i also pretty sure you can only drink beer...no shots

Answer 2

first off most clubs and bars in germany will serve anyone who is able to see over the bar and the clubs us older guys have to becarful for because they let in 16 year old girls all the time but as for guys they might have a problem but probally not risking the fakie and takeing it across international lines is more risk than reward as for big clubs you might try matrix/a6/clapshmulies/berlin if its not to far/munich again if its not to far, other than that make sure you dont spend all your time in the clubs and bars germany is a beautiful country with alot of cool stuff to see and take pictures of and most germans like americans just give respect and you will get respect have fun and stay safe

Answer 3

Don´t go to Giga Parc! There are only idiots. Trust me I´ve been there. You better should go to Münster, Dortmund or Essen. There are discos everywhere and you will find at least 1 where you can get in.

Answer 4

Most clubs don't have general age limits. 18+ only clubs

are the exception. However. As a minor you're usually

not allowed to stay after midnight. But this is only valid

for minors. Not for minors in company of "responsible"

adults. Your host family's daughter is 18. So unless

you show up after midnight and get in a control you

likely won't have any problems at all.

Answer 5

Don't worry about it.  The drinking (beer) age in Germany is 16.  Even then, you won't have any problems getting into the clubs/discos.  Enjoy yourself.  Don't get the fake ID.  If you get caught at the border, you're SCREWED.

Answer 6

I live in Germany, I'm 18 years old. You are allowed to get into a lot of Discos from 16, but you can't stay longer than 12am, you could, though, but the "Polizei" might come and take you home with your host family. There are some other Discos that allow you to stay as long as you can if an 18 year old person or older comes with you and signs that he/she is responsible for you.

Some of my friends have fake ID's, since you aren't german they are not going to check for a real ID because they don't know how they look like in your country.

That's not a real problem, trust me.

Hi Kyle L.

first of all, do not try to get a fake driver license or passport. That could bring you in a lot of trouble and it is not worth it.

When i am not totally wrong GigaParc is situated in Dülmen, a town close to Ascheberg (i am living just around the corner :) )... and it depends a little bit, if you can enter or not.

Sometimes they control every persons´s passport, sometimes they only control passports of people they expect to be younger than 18.

One tip, try to go there before midnight. you are allowed to stay until midnight, even if you are under 18.

Give it a try anyway. If you do not look like a child and you are there with friends it would not be such a big problem.

As far as i can remember there were a lot of teens there, the last time i visited it.

o.. and if she works there it would be much more easy :)

enjoy your stay and have fun....
