Scene photo Himmel und Kölle

What it is about

The award-winning comedy musical returns to the Volksbühne am Rudolfplatz from November 2026. Newly ordained priest Elmar is transferred from the provinces to Cologne and is suddenly thrown into wild chaos between confessional and brewery.

Himmel und Kölle is a light-hearted declaration of love to the city of Cologne: with plenty of heart and local colour, charming wit and guaranteed earworms.
