Komödie Winterhuder Fährhaus
The Komödie Winterhuder Fährhaus is a comedy theatre in Hamburg's Winterhude, near St. Johannis Church and the Planetarium. Since 1988 the house has specialised in modern big-city comedies that speak to a present-day audience. No other Hamburg stage keeps this focus with the same consistency. A large hall seats 580, a smaller one holds 99, and wheelchair access is available.
The programme runs from cheerful boulevard comedy through classical pieces to folk plays. You see familiar faces from film and television here, among them Tanja Wedhorn, Beatrice Richter and Oliver Mommsen. Beyond the comedies come special events in literature, music and cabaret, a platform for emerging artists as well as established stars.
The spot is older than the theatre: an excursion house stood here from 1854 and became a cultural hub over the decades. The traditional Christmas tale returns each Advent, a custom begun by Christian Berg, a renowned specialist in the genre.
