Kleo: Where Was the Show Filmed?
‘Kleo’ is primarily filmed in Germany and Spain, specifically in Berlin, Eisenhüttenstadt, and Mallorca. The principal photography for the first season reportedly commenced in the last week of June 2021. Now, let’s dive right in and explore the details of the exciting places where Kleo plots her revenge.
Berlin, Germany
Berlin, the capital of Germany, serves as the prominent production spot for ‘Kleo.’ The cast and crew take advantage of the diverse locations available within the city to tape scenes set against different backdrops. Given how the city’s history, specifically the fall of the Berlin Wall, is crucial to the show’s story, the shooting of the series within the city provides a sense of legitimacy.
Some scenes in the inaugural season are set in Big Eden, a nightclub founded in 1967 by Playboy Rolf Eden. Located at Kurfürstendamm 202, 10719 Berlin, the establishment welcomed several wealthy patrons, including international stars. However, Rolf sold the place in 2002 to Falk Walter, who later sold it to Thorsten Müller in 2005. The club has remained closed since the year 2006.
Eisenhüttenstadt, Germany
Eisenhüttenstadt is a small town in Brandenburg, Germany, that was used to lens several scenes in the first season of ‘Kleo.’ Städtisches Krankenhaus Eisenhüttenstadt, a general hospital located at Friedrich-Engels-Straße 39, 15890 Eisenhüttenstadt, is one such location where the filming unit recorded pivotal scenes. The small town shares its borders with Poland and has hosted several productions, including ‘The Silent Revolution’ and ‘Sealed Lips.’
Mallorca, Spain
Mallorca, AKA Majorca, is one of the Balearic Islands in Spain located in the Mediterranean seas that serves as the filming site of several scenes in ‘Kleo.’ The team notably recorded scenes from the first season in Palma and Sóller, as well as a car chase sequence near the Cúber Lake, surrounded by the magnificent Tramuntana Mountains.
Taping the show on the breathtaking island surely helps its visual beauty and authenticity. Mallorca is a popular tourist destination that often sees visitors from countries like the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Given its jaw-dropping backdrops, the island has been used as a shooting spot for several shows like ‘Another World’ and ‘Love Island.’
