For ten years now, Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR) has been creating a television stage with the "Vereinsheim Schwabing" on which the German-speaking cabaret scene can present itself in all its diversity.

To mark the anniversary, BR Fernsehen is showing twelve new episodes with young artists.

But presenter Constanze Lindner also looks back on a decade of promoting young people.

Lisa Eckhart, for example.

The weird Austrian, now known nationwide and a regular on "Nuhr im Erste" (ARD), was seen at the very beginning of her career in the clubhouse in Munich-Schwabing.

Not the only star who literally started small here – in front of a maximum of 60 spectators.

Mention should also be made of Maxi Schafroth, Simon Pearce and Eva Karl-Faltermeier, among others.

“Vereinsheim Schwabing” – that is also the name of the program with which Bayerischer Rundfunk, together with stage operator Till Hofmann, promotes young cabaret artists.

The show has been around for ten years, to celebrate the anniversary there is a new season with twelve episodes, which can be seen every Thursday at 10 p.m. on BR Fernsehen.

and then in the BR media library

Hannes Ringlstetter was the host for the first four years, after a short intermezzo with Mathias Tretter, Constanze Lindner has been moderating the show since 2016.

For the 49-year-old, who herself has been a comedian and cabaret artist for a long time, the clubhouse is still a kind of "public living room", as she put it in an interview with our newspaper, a place where "wonderfully refreshing encounters take place" - on the stage and between artists and audience.

Political cabaret, poetry slam, comedy, song - everything has its place.

And - as the in-house media researchers found - not only in the tiny cabaret bar where the recordings are made, but also on the television "people stay tuned in".

The Munich broadcaster has a constantly growing fan base,

It's the mix that counts, also between newcomers and old hands - this is what BR cultural director Björn Wilhelm points out, who praises the "club house Schwabing" as a "training ground for established stage athletes and talent factory for young people", not without adding that it is important to the station , "depicting cultural diversity".

Landlord Hofmann, who – among other things – has to fill the much larger comedy theater next door with life, speaks of the “diamonds in the rough of cabaret” that you can see here.

He sees "young people who have something to say", who are "brilliantly funny", "dedicated and on the way to Olympus".

Presenter Lindner, who – of course – also made her debut as a soloist here, back in the Ringlstetter era, underscores the fact that the small clubhouse is also a place where the grown-ups like to perform again and again.

Musician and presenter Werner Schmidbauer (“Gipfeltreffen”, “Aufgspuit!”) raved about how cool and casual the atmosphere was and how friendly people were with each other backstage.

All of this should now be celebrated, "finally with an audience again".

Because of Corona, the recording was made in the airier Lustspielhaus as a precaution, but with the original stage design from the clubhouse.

The larger room didn't detract from the atmosphere, as Constanze Lindner found out: "It was just as cooked there as next door." Each edition includes Norbert Bürger, alias "Bürger in the Hell", who is described in the show as the "smallest show band of the world” and “bar waiter” Björn Puscha, who teaches the obligatory Latin course.

And then?

"As far as I'm concerned, this can go on for another 20 years," laughs Constanze Lindner: "I'm available."
