Cabin (restaurant)
The cabin was a music restaurant in the Schöneberg district of Berlin .
In 1949, the cabin , a spared restaurant in a burned-out tenement at the rear of the Schöneberg town hall in Freiherr-vom-Stein-Strasse , was used for meetings of jazz record lovers. In 1950 the trombonist Hans-Wolf Schneider came to Berlin with his musicians from Leipzig and into the cabin, where live music was played from 1951 onwards. Schneider's Dixieland music with echoes of New Orleans jazz made the cabin - next to the bathtub in the Tauentzienpalast on Nürnberger Straße - one of the most popular jazz bars in West Berlin . It was not visited by American occupation soldiers, however , but was reserved for the Berlin public, especially the students of the Academy of Fine Arts .
When the basement was closed in 1952 because of the threat of collapse, the manager of the cabin , a former police officer, took over a restaurant on Breitenbachplatz in Dahlem and renamed it Eggshell . However, the eggshell never achieved the importance that the cabin and bathtub had in Berlin's musical life.
