The German Cabaret Archives, with its office in Mainz and its location in Bernburg/Saale for GDR cabaret, is a special archive that is unique in Germany and has been dedicated to the systematic documentation and research of cabaret and satire since 1961.
It is an archive, yes. But it is also a modern museum about cabaret. In any case, it is an event and meeting centre for young people and older visitors. People can meet at the cabaret bar in the centre of the archive.
Martina Keiffenheim has been the director of the German Cabaret Archive since 2019. Until 2021, the journalist was also the director of her own cabaret theatre, KleineKUNSTBÜHNE in Saulheim.
The cabaret archive offers exclusive events on its stage, such as readings, cabaret, comedy, interview and chanson evenings. In addition to guided tours, exhibitions on cabaret-related topics can also be seen throughout the year in the museum. Sometimes cheerful - sometimes thought-provoking. But always modern, informative and entertaining.
