die anstalt is a recurring techno club night held at a converted print shop venue in a small city in the ruhr/sauerland region of western germany. the night runs under a "tanztherapie" (dance therapy) concept, with resident selectors holding the floor and a rotating guest slot at the top of the bill.

the room is dressed with blacklight decoration and uv painting, and the musical focus sits firmly on driving, peak-hour techno with a dark, high-pressure character. the resident crew holds a consistent presence across editions, with guest bookings drawn from the regional underground circuit.
