Die Stachelschweine or Hedgehogs cabaret has been an institution in Berlin for more than 50 years and a cultural highlight and permanent member of the Europa Center since 1965. Even Erich Kästner was able to appreciate the entertainment value of the ensemble and wrote in 1953 under the title of 'Superfluous Rat' in the visitors book: "Dear hedgehogs, never let yourself get shaved!"

The Hedgehogs haven't let him down and are still celebrated and feared for their particularly spiny humour.
