Cologne Language, Great Stage Presence, and a Special Afternoon at the Town Hall
On September 27, 2026, the Day of the Cologne Language invites you to a musical-cultural event in the historic walls of the Historic Town Hall in Cologne. Henning Krautmacher, a defining voice of the Höhner for many years, brings selected song lyrics in Cologne dialect to the forefront, combining language culture, memory, and live atmosphere into a truly Cologne concert experience. The event will take place in the Hansasaal and is free of charge. ([stadt-koeln.de](https://www.stadt-koeln.de/leben-in-koeln/veranstaltungen/daten/40877/index.html))
A Hall with History, a Performance with Attitude
The Hansasaal is one of the most important spaces of the Historic Town Hall and has stood for political public life, festive occasions, and urban identity for centuries. This connection makes the setting for the performance so appealing: Cologne song culture meets a building that breathes city history. The result is not a loud spectacle, but a concentrated live experience with clear language, fine resonance, and much local color.
