Bockshorn, building in Würzburg, Lower Franconia, Germany
Bockshorn was a cabaret theater in Würzburg that hosted performances from 1984 until early 2024. The venue, located in the basement of the Kulturspeicher building, held around 200 people and presented a varied program of comedy, theater, and musical performances.
The theater was founded in 1984 by Mathias Repiscus in Sommerhausen and later relocated to Würzburg's Kulturspeicher building. After four decades of hosting noted German comedians and performers, the venue closed in 2024 when its operators retired.
The venue served as a gathering place for people seeking humor mixed with social commentary. The close seating arrangement created an intimate setting where audiences sat near performers, making each show feel like a shared moment rather than a distant presentation.
The theater was located in the Kulturspeicher near the old town, making it easily accessible on foot. Visitors could combine their visit with a walk through the nearby area and check the program online before arriving.
The venue was known for hosting an annual New Star Festival each November that gave young performers a chance to debut their work. This festival helped emerging talent gain a foothold in the cabaret scene and often led to return bookings.
