Special program 30 years MAGDEBURGER ZWICKMÜHLE
with Marion Bach, Heike Ronniger, and Hans-Günther Pölitz

The MAGDEBURGER ZWICKMÜHLE is celebrating its 30th anniversary. In the past, this would simply have been called a company anniversary. Today it is said that one has now been on the market for thirty years. And on this market, one is sold. Either for foolish or according to its market value. And this has its price. For example, the “Leipziger Löwenzahn” and the “Cabinet Prize.” Both in Saxony, the “Reinheimer Satire Lion” in Hesse, the cabaret prize “Cornichon” in Franconia, thus Swiss … You can look it up on Wikipedia. But with awards, it is known to be a tricky matter. The wise philosopher V. Olksmund already said: Orders and bombs always hit the wrong ones. Whether the praise in our case hit the right ones, nearly a million viewers have been able to see for themselves in 59 programs and eight thousand performances each night.
30 years MAGDEBURGER ZWICKMÜHLE – that’s from its birth on 29.02.1996 at 8 PM: three years of Helmut Kohl, seven years of Gerhard Schröder, sixteen years of Angela Merkel, four years of Olaf Scholz, and 42 weeks of Friedrich Merz. Provided he lasts that long. For chancellors come and go – but the MAGDEBURGER ZWICKMÜHLE has remained.
Whether Kohl, Merkel, Scholz, or Schröder: Nothing got better, but … as Erich Kästner once described it: “Almost everything has changed, and almost everything has remained the same.” Because not only cabaret but also the problems call: “There we are but still”! And thus, the 60th program is a satirical journey through time, to remind us of the past with laughter in the present, hoping to have something to laugh about in the future as well.

Doors open: 2:00 PM
