Die Schmiere, Satirical theater in Karmeliterkloster, Frankfurt, Germany.
Die Schmiere occupies a basement space in the Karmeliterkloster complex, presenting cabaret performances with a small ensemble of eight actors.
Founded in 1950 by Rudolf Rolfs, the theater established itself as one of the first private performance venues in Frankfurt after World War II.
The theater produces approximately 200 shows annually, focusing on political satire and contemporary social commentary through original productions.
Located at Seckbächer Gasse 4, the theater operates without government subsidies and sells tickets through their website for regular evening performances.
The venue deliberately calls itself 'the worst theater in the world,' embracing the term 'Schmiere,' which refers to low-quality theatrical productions.
