Hanneschen Theatre

Cologne is not a city which has loads of entertainment fun stored only for the grown ups but the city has facilities for the children too. The Hanneschen Puppet Theater is the most thriving children’s attraction of the city.

Now a question may come to your mind that why tye thater is being tagged as a children’s attraction. The answer to it is that the Hanneschen theater is a puppet theater and we all are aware of the fact that kids love puppet shows. So when you are in Cologne with your family, take your kids to experience the unique puppet show of the city.


An entire theater devoted to puppet shows seems strange. But this strangeness has made the theater one of the most popular destinations of the city. Located In the Iron Market the Hanneschen Theater was established in the year 1938 . There is a colossal statue of the famous actor Will Millowitsch infront of the theater.

The colorful puppet shows are amusing as well as educative. Children are taught the basic principles of life through the stories acted out by the puppets. At the end of each show a moral is learnt by the kids.

It’s a kids zone that doesn’t mean that adults are not allowed. Infact an adult is also unable to resist the attraction of puppets. This is one of the premiere Puppet theaters of Germany. Cologne is the proud possessor of this unique puppet theater.

After the show you are free to wander about the Iron market which was previuously used by the iron ware sellers to sell their products but now myriad kinds of objects are available in the market.

Enjoy moving about the nearby city roads and have the feel of Cologne in your own way. With no one to dictate you around, after watching an excellent puppet show the mind gets refreshed to get back to the hustle of everyday life.
