The initially monthly issues of the flashback were studio productions. Later, the monthly rhythm was no longer adhered to, but from episode 172 (May 15, 1969) the cabaret broadcasts were carried out as public events, initially from the Theater of the Porcupines in the Europa Center in Berlin and then from the Humboldt Hall of Urania and the Ernst Reuter Hall in Berlin-Reinickendorf.
