history

In the first few years the group performed every Wednesday in the Schlot art factory - hence the title. The programs changed monthly. The markedly sensational program titles (such as: “Sex on construction sites - the big capital report”) and a kind of sitcom in which the three actors presented the food in the refrigerator of a Berlin single soon became trademarks.

For a few years, Wednesday's conclusion focused on guest performances lasting several days. In 2006 the group, supported by the musician Andreas Albrecht, brought the refrigerator sitcom under the title Freeze! as a full-length musical on stage.

Some artists who became famous later had their first appearances as guests in Wednesday's conclusion, such as the singer Judith Holofernes , the writer Jakob Hein and the band Herr Nilsson . The chanson duo Pigor & Eichhorn also tried many of their songs here for the first time.

The Wednesday conclusion received the German Cabaret Award (program award) for the “unique, refreshingly unspectacular stage performance from literature and music”.

On October 12, 2008, the Wednesday conclusion was dissolved because of the solo careers of the individual members.
