Background notes
Archive material and source history
Karl Valentin was a Munich-born cabaret performer who worked in the early 20th century. He started out in local venues around his hometown, developing a style that leaned into the absurdities of everyday life.
In 1911 he began collaborating with Liesl Karlstadt, an actress and singer. Their partnership became a fixture of German cabaret for years, with Karlstadt's lighter presence balancing Valentin's drier delivery.
Valentin wrote 'Das Lied Vom Sonntag' in 1925. The song's straightforward lyrics about a quiet Sunday afternoon connected with audiences and became his best-known work.
His material sometimes ran into trouble with authorities over its content, but he kept performing with his particular approach to comedy.
