It is an archive, yes. But also a modern museum about cabaret. In any case, it is a place for information, events, and encounters for young people and older visitors. Here, one can freely quench their thirst for knowledge, laugh, marvel, chat, complain, discuss, be inspired, and feel comfortable. One meets at the latest at the cabaret bar in close quarters within the archive.

Since 2019, Martina Keiffenheim has been the director of the German Cabaret Archive. Until 2021, the journalist was also the artistic director of her own cabaret stage, the KleineKUNSTBÜHNE in Saulheim.

The cabaret archive offers exclusive events on its stage, such as readings, cabaret, comedy, interview, and chanson evenings. In addition to guided tours and lectures, exhibitions on cabaret-related topics can be seen throughout the year in the small, fine museum. Sometimes cheerful – sometimes contemplative. But always modern, informative, and entertaining.
