Carows Lachbühne, Historical cabaret in Weinbergsweg, Berlin, Germany
Carows Lachbühne was a cabaret in central Berlin located within a former tunnel of the Walhalla Theater. The performances combined comedy, music, and theatrical acts designed to appeal to diverse audiences.
Erich Carow founded the cabaret in 1927 and operated it until 1943, when it was destroyed during bombing raids on Berlin. After the war, the operation moved to a different location and continued until the mid-1970s.
The venue drew workers, merchants, writers, and actors who sought entertainment and social connection in this intimate setting. Visitors came to escape their everyday routines and enjoy evenings filled with comedy and music.
The venue was accessible by public transport and accommodated both standing and seated audiences who could follow the performances. Visitors should note that the space was intimate and quite crowded during popular shows.
During Erich Carow's 20th anniversary celebration as a comedian on February 27, 1933, the audience received news of the Reichstag building fire while the event was taking place. This moment marked a turning point for both the venue and the country.
