Öcher Schängche, Puppet theatre in Aachen, Germany
The theatre stages performances with hand-crafted puppets operated by skilled puppeteers presenting stories in both standard German and local dialect.
Established in 1921, the theatre found its permanent location at Barockfabrik along Löhergraben in 1982, where it continues operations today.
The performances include specific programs for children featuring fairy tales with 40 percent local dialect, while adult shows incorporate more Oecher Platt language.
The venue presents regular shows throughout the year, with special performances during carnival season and offers programs for both children aged five and adults.
The theatre received the THOUET Mundartpreis der Stadt Aachen in 1986 for its contributions to maintaining regional dialect through puppet performances.
