Scharfrichterhaus, meaning 'Executioner's House,' is a cultural venue in Passau's old town. The name derives from its history as the residence of the city's executioner. Today, it is a vibrant center for cabaret, jazz, and theater, attracting both local audiences and tourists. The intimate setting, with a small stage and cozy seating, creates a close connection between performers and the audience. The program features a mix of contemporary cabaret, musical performances, and dramatic works, often with a satirical or thought-provoking edge. The building itself retains historic charm, with exposed beams and a rustic interior that adds to the atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy a drink at the bar before the show.
