Actors from Hesse

Badesalz (literally "bath salt") was a comedy duo from the (West) German state of Hesse, founded in 1982 by Hendrik "Henni" Nachtsheim (born 15 March 1957 in Wuppertal, Germany) and Gerd Knebel (30 March 1953 in Rodgau, Germany - January 24, 2026) as "Badesalz Theater". They sometimes talked with a strong Hessian accent during their performances and sketches.
