Burlesque Bar in Berlin: Elegance and entertainment
Welcome to Lieschen Mueller on the ground floor. A burlesque bar in Berlin, directly under the television tower. The experience restaurant Lieschen Mueller im Parterre floor tells a true story. Admittedly, with a pompous pinch of glitter, bright colors and fanfare on top… but Lieschen really does exist.
“Burlesque teaches us to recognize and celebrate the beauty in ourselves and others.”
During the Cold War era, she was an artist in the State Circus of the DDR. Dancing had always been her greatest passion. She had a special fondness for burlesque, the entertainment dance of the wild 1920s. They traveled around the country for many years. When they wanted to start a family, they settled down in their hometown of East Berlin. They rented an apartment in Mitte and found work at the old Friedrichstadtpalast. Her husband became a stage technician there, and she became a vaudeville dancer.
The famous clown Ferdinand became her good friend and one day gave her a white rabbit, which became the heraldic animal of the Burlesque Bar in Berlin. If you look around carefully, you will discover many small details that tell Lieschen’s story. And with a bit of luck, you might even catch a glimpse of the real Marlies. Because sometimes she sits at the counter of the circus bar and watches the colorful hustle and bustle under the television tower, which is inspired by her life…
