Die Schmiere

Die Schmiere is a performance space with a long history, dating back to the mid-20th century. Originally catering to members of the 4th Infantry Division, it became known for its comedic skits and social commentary. The venue fostered a sense of community and provided entertainment for military personnel and locals alike. A notable anecdote involves a skit about medical insurance, highlighting the phrase 'Wir Bauen!' (We are building!), which became a symbolic representation of the venue's spirit. The space also received contributions from visitors, such as anatomical charts used in performances.
