59 years of cabaret: go - the Mindener Stichlinge celebrate!

The "Mindener Stichlinge", the oldest amateur cabaret in Germany, can look back on an impressive 59-year history. On March 01, 2025, they present their 55th stage program entitled "Go". This event takes place in the concert hall in Bad Salzuflen and starts at 7.30 p.m. The ensemble consists of Annika Hus, Martin Janke, Peter Reinhold and the new player Beate Schweinsberger. Stephan Winkelhake takes over the musical direction, while the founder Birger Hausmann gives up his active stage presence and changes behind the scenes, supported by Kirsten Gerlhof.

The program "goes" deals with current social issues and offers creative solutions for various absurdities. This includes questions about those in need of care, the role of health ministers, the security situation and environmentally friendly mobility. In particular, the use of irony and pace should give the viewers new perspectives on often unpleasant facts. The "angel number 55" is discussed as a symbol of positive changes and the courage to start again.

entry and availability

Tickets from 23 euros are available for interested parties. These can be ordered in advance by email or by phone. Remaining tickets are available at the box office from 6.30 p.m. if there are still places available. With this new program, the Minden Stichlinge continues their tradition of preparing socially critical topics entertaining and wanting to stimulate thought at the same time.

The cabaret, which has been working in Germany for over half a century, has a long history in which it always acted as a mirror of society. Similar to the historical Parisian cabarets, which attracted literary and political elites in the 19th century, the art form of the "Stichling" also offers an entertaining comment on social reality. The cabaret began as a place where cabaret performances took place in an intellectual environment that also attracted figures such as Victor Hugo and Émile Zola. Cabarets became a magnet for intellectual audience and messenger space for social reflection.

The "Mindener Stichlings" are a lively example of this tradition and prove that cabaret has lost none of its charm in the 21st century. With "goes" they encourage their viewers to take life and their challenges with humor, and show that there are always solutions, even if they are often hidden.
