Scharfrichterhaus, Cabaret in Passau, Germany.

The Scharfrichterhaus occupies a medieval stone building with thick walls, narrow windows, and traditional Bavarian architectural elements near the Danube River.

Originally constructed around 1200 as an executioner's residence, the building served as the Prislig prison from the 13th century until 1443.

The establishment transformed into a cultural center in 1977, presenting jazz concerts, political performances, theater productions, and independent cinema screenings.

Visitors can attend regular cabaret shows, watch alternative films at the cinema, or dine at the restaurant modeled after a Viennese coffeehouse.

The venue annually presents the Executioner's Hatchet award, recognizing excellence in cabaret performance through a partnership with Bavarian television.
