An education that does not engage the heart is no education at all. Let’s be on our guard: following the major spelling reform, we can soon expect ‘BILD-DUNG’. And there’s a method to this, because only fools can be properly exploited. “NU!” is the name of the new programme in which the popular actor and cabaret artist asserts: the language of the German people is German – Article 1 of the Basic Law! And so Uwe Steimle takes the audience on a journey through his educational background. This takes us from Struppi, via The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, right through to the small and even larger perspectives on German politics. As Markus Söder recently put it: “After the flood comes the drought.” These days, in Germany, it’s impossible to tell the difference between the cabinet and cabaret. This is how the CDU is campaigning in the 2025 election year: “We think things through beforehand.” Steimle, as ever, is still thinking things through. The bridge in Dresden didn’t collapse. It just went down. How we became what we are, we will become. You can’t get any more ‘W’ than that. With his laconic manner and subtle irony, Uwe Steimle has won over a loyal audience. Let’s allow ourselves to be captivated once more by the Magician of the East, who, like almost no one else, manages to lay his finger on the numerous East-West wounds with both a sharp tongue and charm. New, endearing and whimsical stories from Uwe Steimle – always underpinned by the endeavour to build bridges.
