history

With the first program “ The First Step ” on August 15, 1945 as a guest performance at the Münchner Kammerspiele , a German performance was shown in this house for the first time after the war. Before that, the theater served the Americans as a casino . From April 12, 1946, the ensemble then played in the theater on Reitmorstrasse in Munich. With around 700 seats, it had an unusually large room for a cabaret.

The main authors of the showroom were Erich Kästner , Axel von Ambesser , Herbert Witt and Hellmuth Krüger . The latter also presented most of the show booth programs. Other authors were: Franziska Bilek , Jürgen von Hollander , Hans Leip , Heinz Pauck (under the pseudonym "Christian Schürhoff") and. a.

The music was written by Edmund Nick , Karl von Feilitzsch , Bernhard Eichhorn , Lothar Brühne and others. a., stage and costume designers were Gustav Tolle, Günther Strupp, Irmgard Becker and Susa Schlieper.

The ensemble included u. a. the ladies: June Card, Gisela Fackeldey , Monika Greving , Margarete Haagen , Ursula Herking , Eva Immernann, Ruth Kappelsberger , Barbara Pleyer, Herta Saal and Petra Unkel .

The male ensemble members included Rudolf Schündler , Hellmuth Krüger and Otto Osthoff, among others: Ernst Fritz Fürbringer , Oliver Hassencamp , Wolfgang Hellmund, Alfons Höckmann , Bruno Hübner , Karl John , Walther Kiaulehn (who also conferred a program), Bum Krüger , Siegfried Lowitz , Sepp Nigg, Werner Nippen , Charles Regnier , Karl Schönböck , Werner Thun, Luzius Versell and Fritz Walter.

All programs were directed by Rudolf Schündler . Time-related texts, parodies and chansons were presented .

The last program, Please Quite Peacefully , ran in front of an almost empty house because of the currency reform in autumn 1948. So Schündler had to close the cabaret in early 1949 and - like many other private theater entrepreneurs at the time - file for bankruptcy.
