This is very sad. I danced tango in Berlin for the first time in 2001 and it 
was 
a milonguero tango heaven. The milonga at the Gruener Salon was almost like 
being in Buenos Aires. I went again in 2004 and it had changed somewhat, but 
floor navigation was still reasonably good and there was little nuevo. 

Thanks for the info. I will cross Berlin off the list for dancing tango in 
Europe.
