Mys Käthi schmöckt nach Schoggola

Description

In 2026, the Bernese troubadour Bernhard Stirnemann would have turned 90 years old. “Bene” – as he was called by his circle – is considered, alongside Mani Matter, a founder of the Bernese chanson, which the two helped bring to lasting popularity in the 1960s. Like Matter, he was inspired by the French chanson.
Bernhard Stirnemann – a teacher by profession – was more than the cheeky Bernese troubadour many know him as. He ran his own small theater and significantly shaped the scene for years. As a cultural politician, he was active in the Bern city council and the Grand Council of the Canton of Bern.
In autumn 2026, the biography “Bene – E fräche Siech” by historian Beat Hodler will be published by Zytglogge Verlag. At the same time, the homage program “Mys Käthi schmöckt nach Schoggola” will start.

Comedienne Lisa Catena (Zytlupe, Radio SRF) and Bernese chansonnier Rolf Marti honor Bernhard Stirnemann with a mix of readings and songs – including pieces for which no recordings exist.
