Rendezvous with Claire Waldoff

The Berlin Schnauze with heart is back! Claire Waldoff sang and performed her chansons with wit and cheerfulness, deep empathy and a sense of reality. What was it that made her special? Why, of all people, did a young actress who had come to Berlin from the Ruhr area symbolize so much the image of the Berlin brat in the late imperial era and the 1920s?


"Chanson-Nette" Jeannette Urzendowsky is a "Berlin plant" from the Friedrichshain neighborhood.
In a duo with Herbert Götz at the piano, she takes her audience back to the time when Claire became a legend. In doing so, she does not imitate her, but recalls in her own way the great comedienne, born in 1884, and her various facets and phases of life. Claire was youthful-tender, cheeky, tomboyish, self-confident and vulnerable.

Many popular chansons and rarer songs from Claire Waldoff's repertoire are part of the program. "Ach Jott, wat sind die Männer dumm!", "Die Großstadtpflanze", "Das Dornröschen vom Wedding" or "Raus mit den Männern aus dem Reichstag" fill this evening for all fans of Berlin humor. And of course Chanson-Nette tells many stories from Claire's life with her genuine Berlin mouth.

The Berliner Tagesspiegel writes about Chanson-Nette:
"There are only a few artists who can embody a Berlin original so credibly."

Zimmer 16
“Great art on a small stage for young and old!” - that's the motto of this wonderful venue for theater, cabaret & cabaret, comedy, music, film, readings or simply poetry in the “Florakiez” of Berlin-Pankow. Welcome to the cozy “Zimmer 16 camera dell' arte” at Florastrasse 16, as it is officially called, a legendary Berlin cultural venue with 60 seats and 20 standing places on almost 130 square meters - manageable, intimate, just the right place for cabaret, where artists and audiences quickly find each other. As was once the case at the now unfortunately closed Café Lyrik in Prenzlauer Berg, it is a tradition for some artists to perform in “Zimmer 16”.

How to get there?
Take the S-Bahn line S1 to Wollankstraße station, the U-Bahn line U2 to the terminus S-Bhf. Pankow, from both stations a short walk to “Zimmer 16”. By car via Shönhauser Allee, Berliner Straße and Mühlenstraße to Florastraße 16, or from the west via Osloer Straße and Wollankstraße,
