SUPER SCHWARZES MANNHEIM: On Stage

We are at the SSMSDSSM. – Please what? That’s the melodious name of the model contest “Super Schwarzes Mannheim Sucht Das Super Schwarze Model”, which took place for the third time on October 4, 2025. It is also Germany’s biggest dark party, where up to 1,500 people have regularly gathered once a month on the 5 floors in the former industrial building of the MS Connexion Complex since 2008. The aim of this extraordinary competition is not only to offer the audience a varied program, but also to increase the visibility of the “dark-colored” diversity of the scene, to promote the young generation and to strengthen tolerance and a sense of unity within the community. You can find out more about this in our winter edition.
