Wolfgang Kring's Show Apache Continues to Thrill Audiences in Mecklenburgische Seenplatte
Wolfgang Kring's Wild West show, the Show Apache, continues to captivate audiences in Neu Damerow near Plau am See, Mecklenburgische Seenplatte. Kring, a former track and field athlete and boxer, has been performing as a show Apache for an impressive 40 years, embodying the spirit of the Wild West with his authentic reenactments and spectacular horse stunts [1][2].
The Show Apache, held on Kring's ranch, is a testament to his lifelong passion for the Wild West, sparked by the novels of Karl May and Liselotte Welskopf-Heinrich. This passion led him to set up a natural stage on his grandparents' farm in Neu Damerow and put on a play in the summer [3].
The Show Apache is not just a one-man show. It involves numerous amateur actors and helpers, creating a vibrant and engaging performance. In 2025, the play is named "Cheyenne" and features classic elements of a Western, including stagecoach robberies and the cavalry's arrival [4].
"Cheyenne" will be performed over the first three weekends in August. The play takes place on Kring's ranch, offering a unique and immersive experience for the audience. However, it's important to note that audience members are required to bring their own seating for the performance, such as a picnic blanket or a small chair [5].
Kring promises that "Cheyenne" will be filled with the same thrilling horse stunts that have become synonymous with his shows. These stunts reflect his longstanding dedication to this unique form of entertainment [1][2].
The Show Apache has a rich history, with performances held during DDR times. Despite this, Kring did not expect to keep performing as a show Apache for as long as he has. However, his passion for the Wild West and its indigenous people, such as the Apaches, has kept him going [6].
The Show Apache is a must-see for anyone looking for an authentic Wild West experience. With its thrilling horse stunts, engaging performances, and beautiful natural setting, it's no wonder that Kring's Show Apache continues to captivate audiences after 40 years.

Engaging and immersive, Wolfgang Kring's Show Apache also influences the lifestyle of its visitors by promoting an outdoor-living aesthetic when audiences gather at his home-and-garden setting for the performance, often seating themselves on picnic blankets or small chairs. His dedication to this unique form of entertainment, spanning over four decades, is a testament to the employment policy he has maintained, employing numerous amateur actors and helpers for the production of each show.
