About Die Anstalt
Die Anstalt is currently airing on ZDF; the next episode airs 2026-05-08.
It is a German political cabaret program that has been broadcast since February 4, 2014. The show features cabaret artists Max Uthoff and Claus von Wagner, who lead the program, often joined by well-known guests from the cabaret scene. The setting is designed to resemble the foyer of a psychiatric clinic, with performers entering via corridors, stairs, and an elevator, symbolizing the show's satirical take on political and social issues.
The show is a comedy series that has been running for over a decade, with each episode offering a humorous yet critical perspective on current events and politics. It was initially considered the successor to News from the Institution and has maintained a consistent format throughout its run, with the latest season having premiered in February 2026. The show is known for its sharp wit and political commentary, delivered by its hosts and guests in a studio that mimics a psychiatric clinic foyer. It has been a staple of German political satire for many years.
