Wilfried Schmickler

about

Wilfried Theodor Schmickler (* November 28, 1954, in Hitdorf) is a German cabaret artist. Schmickler grew up in Hitdorf (now a district of Leverkusen) and has been living in the Cologne Südstadt since the 1990s. During his school years at Landrat-Lucas-Gymnasium in Opladen, he was involved in student administration (SMV), served as a student representative, and wrote for the school newspaper. After graduating in 1973, he performed his civilian service in a youth facility, where he encountered the post-hippie scene. His experiences with the self-managed youth scene led to the founding of a speaking and later a theater group, which eventually evolved into the trio Matsche, Works, and Hallies. Later, the trio (with Wolfgang Müller-Schlesinger and Klaus Huber) renamed itself Matsche, Works, and Pullrich, with Schmickler gaining stage experience for several years. When cabaret artist Jürgen Becker left the cabaret trio 3 Gestirn Köln 1 in 1989, Schmickler, recommended by Becker, became his successor. As a member of 3 Gestirn, he, along with Heiner Kämmer and Wolfgang Nitschke, received the German Kleinkunstpreis in 2001. After the group disbanded, Schmickler continued as a solo artist, receiving the German Kabarettpreis in 2007 and the Prix Pantheon Special Prize Reif & Bekloppt. In 2009, he was once again honored with the German Kleinkunstpreis in the cabaret category. In celebration of his 30-year stage anniversary, Schmickler presented his fourth solo program "Es war nicht all
