“A stage named after a musical instrument?” you might wonder, looking at the Drehleier. It’s not every day you see a theater named after a hurdy-gurdy! This quirky venue, the Drehleier, is a beloved part of Munich’s cabaret and theater scene. Founded in 1976, it’s more than just a stage. The Drehleier represents a piece of Munich’s heart, its passion for the arts, and its unique sense of humor. The name itself comes from a hurdy-gurdy built by a friend of the founder, Werner Winkler. Imagine the whimsical sound of that instrument welcoming audiences into this intimate space. Over the years, the Drehleier has hosted legendary artists like Hannes Wader and Willy Michl, their voices echoing within these walls. It’s also been a springboard for emerging talents, providing a space for their creativity to blossom. Even after moving to its current location on Rosenheimer Straße in 1997, the spirit of the Drehleier remained. It continues to be a place where laughter and thought-provoking performances intertwine.
