Tom Gerhardt Criticizes 'Woke' Culture Ahead of New 'Hausmeister Krause' Play

The comedian reflects on the enduring appeal of his character and contrasts today's societal trends with the 1990s.

Tom Gerhardt, known for his role as 'Hausmeister Krause,' has expressed strong criticism of modern 'woke' culture, calling it overly rigid and pedantic.
His comments come ahead of the premiere of his new theater production, 'Hausmeister Krause - Du lebst nur zweimal,' in Munich.
Gerhardt attributes the lasting popularity of his character to its embodiment of quintessential German traits, such as paranoia and a tendency to overdramatize minor issues.
The comedian reminisces about the 1990s as a freer era compared to what he sees as today's more restrictive and judgmental societal tendencies.
Gerhardt's character, inspired by real-life figures, humorously exaggerates the quirks of an archetypal German caretaker, blending endearing and exasperating traits.
