Entrance to the cabaret Die Schmiere , 2011

The cabaret Die Schmiere was founded in 1950 by Rudolf Rolfs and is one of the oldest private theaters in Frankfurt am Main . The theater turned out to be "the worst theater in the world"; The name "Schmiere" is also a derogatory term for bad theater, a so-called smear theater .

Rolfs directed the theater and wrote the programs until 1990. Supported by his long-time partner Reno Nonsens , he himself appeared as the main actor. In 1990 the two said goodbye to the stage with the program "Rolfs and Nonsens clear the camp". Since then, Die Schmiere has been run by Rolfs' daughter Effi B. Rolfs , Klaus Teßnow (until his death in March 2011) and Matthias Stich .

The " satirical theater" plays on its own stage in the cellar of the Frankfurt Carmelite monastery and organizes guest tours.
