The first stars, awarded on July 16, 2004, were inaugurated in the presence of Christina Weiss, Culture Representative and Minister of State of Germany and Kurt Beck, the premier of the German federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
The Walk of Fame runs north to south between Münsterstraße and Schillerstraße.
The committee of experts initially selected 80 deceased stars to be honored on the walk of fame.
Details on the honorees may be found at the nearby Stiftung Deutsches Kabarett (German Cabaret Foundation).
Here, the core of the German Cabaret Archive is formed by more than eighty literary estates with biographies, documents and cultural heritage, regarding eighty thousand people from the history of cabaret and the forms of comedy that preceded it.
