Berlin Ropes
Private rope-training studio run full-time by the trainer Eru, who founded it in 2012 as Bondage Hometraining. Sessions are one-to-one for a pair, and people who come alone can book a rope model.
Berlin Ropes is run by Eru, a full-time rope bondage trainer who founded it in 2012 under the name Bondage Hometraining. Eru came to rope as a model at YourRope (then called Fesseltrieb) and from 2010 assisted in its beginner workshops. Finding that group classes left little room for individual needs and limited what students took away, Eru moved to one-to-one teaching.
Training
Lessons work like personal training: each session is shaped around what a rope team wants to learn, with the aim of safe technique and a high skill level, and Eru describes regular further training as a matter of course, so as to teach current safety knowledge. Sessions are by appointment every day of the week between noon and 9 pm in Eru’s training room in Moabit. Prices always cover two people, one tying the other, and roles can be swapped during a session. As listed in November 2026, sessions cost €140 for 60 minutes, €220 for 120 minutes and €300 for 180 minutes. People without a partner can book a rope model through the studio for an added fee that goes to the model.
Eru also works on photo shoots, performs at events, gives group workshops for events and companies, and consults for film, TV, theater and media. The site states that Eru is not a dominatrix and offers no sexual services, and that all sessions are fully clothed and use rope only. The website is in German and offers gift vouchers and a free email series on rope topics.
