PULVERFASS Cabaret

Pop and jazz, coffee and cakes Lola

In Bergedorf a police station was moved in 1992. What remained was an old building, whose further use was up for discussion. Dedicated people with a healthy sense of community turned it into a cultural centre that has enriched the life of the district to this day.

Theater history is written here Schmidt Theater

Original musicals, bold comedy, and quirky shows – the name “Schmidt” stands for top-notch entertainment right on Germany’s most famous street: the Reeperbahn. When the curtain first rose at the Schmidt Theater on August 8, 1988, few believed the “offbeat stage” would last. Over 35 years later, the Schmidt is a beloved part of Hamburg’s cultural scene.

At Spielbudenplatz, hospitality is part of the experience: drinks and light snacks are served right at your seat in the auditorium. The theatre’s foyer bar is a café by day and a nightspot by evening – ideal for coffee and cake in the afternoon, a glass of wine before the show, or cocktails and long drinks late at night. A place where theatre fans, night owls, and artists meet.

Upstairs, Restaurant Reep serves hearty North German cuisine – fresh, regional, and with a view of the Reeperbahn.
