Schindler's Café

An extraordinary story spanning two centuries, two world wars, and a family business.

The legendary Café Schindler returns to the stage of the Tyrolean State Theater in 2026! Founded in 1922, it quickly became the vibrant social center of Innsbruck—until the Nazis came. It is a story of expropriation and expulsion, of the Holocaust in Tyrol. This deeply moving adaptation of a family history for the stage takes the audience on an emotional journey of discovery and brings the history of the Jews of the Habsburg Monarchy to life.
