Comedians born in Kronach

In the Upper Franconia region of northern Bavaria, Kronach is a well-preserved medieval town crowned by the mighty Rosenberg Fortress, one of the largest surviving fortifications in Germany. It is celebrated as the birthplace of the Renaissance painter Lucas Cranach the Elder, and Franconia's brewing culture flavours local life. As Germany's live comedy circuit spreads, cultural venues in towns like Kronach increasingly welcome touring stand-up alongside satirical cabaret.
