Largest transvestite theatre in Europe – About the Pulverfass Cabaret
It all began in 1973: the year that Heinz-Diego Leers took over his father’s former striptease premises in the St. Georg district and decided to turn it into a disco with go-go dancers. But when it opened, the drag artists were particularly popular with guests. The idea grew from there, and the Pulverfass of today was born, becoming a hub for transvestite art in Hamburg.
In 2001 Pulverfass and its company moved to St. Pauli, where it has been ever since. New management took over in 2021. Since then, the theatre has been gradually renovated and put on new artistic footing. But one thing has stayed the same: Pulverfass has been a free space for art and diversity for decades – and will continue this mission in the decades to come!
