Die Distel, Political satire theater company in Berlin-Mitte, Germany
Die Distel Theater produces contemporary political satire performances with live music, sketches, and parodies in the historic Admiralspalast building near Friedrichstrasse station.
Founded on October 2, 1953, Die Distel became the first professional cabaret theater in East Germany, navigating between state censorship and government funding.
The theater maintains two performance spaces, including a studio stage dedicated to young cabaret artists, poetry slammers, and improvisational theater groups.
The theater box office, located through the passage left of the main entrance at Friedrichstrasse 101, offers tickets ranging from 21 to 36 euros.
Due to its proximity to the Reichstag and Chancellor's Office, Die Distel specializes in satirical commentary on German federal government affairs.
