Himmel und Kölle – Das Köln-Musical
This musical makes our hearts beat faster! "Himmel und Kölle" takes the big and small peculiarities of our city with a lot of wit and charm. That's what it's about: Pastor Elmar has been transferred from the provinces to Cologne and experiences a real culture shock between jecken Kölner:innen, bride Kathy and a lot of Kölsch. For all Cologne residents and those who have given their hearts to our cathedral city, the show is an absolute must-see.
Heinzels Wintermärchen
Every year, the Heinzelmännchen enchant Cologne's Old Town with Cologne's largest Christmas market and a spectacular ice skating rink. The market offers a wide range of specialties, handicrafts and gifts.
Weinprofil Tasting Köln
Finally, you no longer have to choose a wine by its label. With the Wine Profile Tasting, you can determine your own individual taste in wine together with professionals. Too sweet, too sour or too heavy? After the evening, you'll know what to do in front of the wine rack!

Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten
In this fantastic production, the four animals - donkey, dog, cat and rooster - are underdogs, outcasts and individualists who want to make music as an unbeatable team and become famous. Composer Attila Kadri Şendil uses traditional Turkish instruments and a multilingual slang spoken by the animals to bring a colorful mix to the play, which not only deals with obstacles and disputes, but also with overcoming fears and the power of friendship.
