Hirschhausen withdraws from the stage to have more time for climate protection

After more than 30 years it should be over: the cabaret artist and doctor Eckart von Hirschhausen is ending his stage career to have more time for his foundation and climate protection. "I am no longer the same as ten years ago and the world is no longer the same as it was ten years ago," said von Hirschhausen of the German Press Agency.

He keeps shifting accents in his creative work and is a curious person. “I want to make the most relevant contribution to keeping people and the planet healthy. I would like to have more time for this with my foundation 'Healthy Earth - Healthy People'."

It's easy to think that an artist's life is pure freedom, said the 55-year-old. "But de facto you're planning two or three years in advance. If I'm doing a stage program, I can't take any special leave." He is currently not in Egypt at the World Climate Conference because he has appointments on his tour. "At the moment I can't take part in a lot of things that I'm really interested in and where I could make a contribution because I'm scheduled to do so."

His fans will have the last opportunity to see von Hirschhausen live on stage on March 29, 2023 in Dreieich near Frankfurt. After that, 35 years of stage life are history. "That means I've spent more of my life on stage than with other things," said the presenter.

Overall, he appeared in more than 1000 shows for more than a million people. "This time on stage, I love it. There's nothing where I'm more free or happier," he said. "I also think it's the best I can do. But I also achieved everything you could wish for there.”

Von Hirschhausen, who was born in Frankfurt and grew up in Berlin, discovered his entertainment talent early on. "I started as a teenager with magic shows at children's birthday parties. When I was 17, I helped finance my studies by doing pantomime in pedestrian zones," he remembers. “Fortunately there are no videos from this period. Today that would be online 30 seconds later. I was able to try out a lot of things that later helped me to face people without fear.”

He would now like to use this talent to do more for climate protection. "We humans are very fond of being distracted from reality and outdoing each other in not looking," he said. Climate protection is health protection. We don't have to save the climate - we have to save ourselves. "When someone comes to the emergency room after a serious accident, the first thing they look for is their cardiovascular system and brain, not athlete's foot. And we're having a planetary emergency right now.”
