Die Schmiere

Die Schmiere in Frankfurt stands as a legendary cabaret theater housed in the cozy vaulted cellar of the Karmeliterkloster. The atmosphere is unparalleled: this historic space with about 100 seats creates an intimate, rustic setting that draws audiences straight into the realm of satire.

The offerings span a diverse repertoire, from slapstick comedies and serious political pieces to musical and humorous shows. Homemade cabaret and biting satire on everyday absurdities take center stage, delivered by the second generation of performers. Highlights include its independent, unsubsidized productions and full-evening entertainment that captivates with wit and social commentary. Frequently paired with gourmet dining, Die Schmiere delivers a complete experience for cabaret enthusiasts right in Frankfurt's city center.
