The period immediately before World War I saw continued economic and cultural prominence for the city. [[Thomas Mann]] wrote in his novella ''Gladius Dei'' about this period: "München leuchtete" (literally "Munich shone"). Munich remained a centre of cultural life during the [[Weimar Republic]], with figures such as [[Lion Feuchtwanger]], [[Bertolt Brecht]], [[Peter Paul Althaus]], [[Stefan George]], [[Ricarda Huch]], [[Joachim Ringelnatz]], [[Oskar Maria Graf]], [[Annette Kolb]], [[Ernst Toller]], [[Hugo Ball]], and [[Klaus Mann]] adding to the already established big names.{{citation needed||date=April 2023}}

[[Karl Valentin]], the cabaret performer and comedian, is to this day remembered and beloved as a cultural icon of his hometown. Between 1910 and 1940, he wrote and performed in many absurdist sketches and short films that were highly influential, earning him the nickname of "[[Charlie Chaplin]] of Germany".<ref>{{Cite web |date=1 January 2024 |title=Fall 2023 Undergraduate Courses |url=https://as.nyu.edu/departments/german/courses/fall-2023-undergraduate-courses.html |access-date=1 January 2024 |archive-date=1 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240101210341/https://as.nyu.edu/departments/german/courses/fall-2023-undergraduate-courses.html |url-status=bot: unknown }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Karl Valentin Kabarett – Cultural Affairs Bureau |url=https://www.icm.gov.mo/en/events/detail/7461 |access-date=1 January 2024 |website=www.icm.gov.mo |archive-date=1 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240101212233/https://www.icm.gov.mo/en/events/detail/7461 |url-status=live }}</ref>

[[Liesl Karlstadt]], before working together with Valentin, cross-dressed and performed cabaret with [[yodeling]] on stage and in Munich's Cafe-Theatres. The cabaret scene was crushed when the Nazis seized power in 1933 and Karlstadt was saved from Nazi sterilization by a doctor. Contemporary Munich cabaret still reverences 1920s cabaret, the Munich alternative rock band [[F.S.K. (band)|F.S.K.]] absorbs yodels.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Yodel in Hi-Fi: From Kitsch Folk to Contemporary Electronica |author1= Bart Plantenga | publisher=  University of Wisconsin Press | year=2013| isbn=9780299290535 | pages=173–174}}</ref>
