Volkstheater Millowitsch, Traditional theater in Cologne, Germany

Volkstheater Millowitsch is a theater building on Aachener Straße in Cologne that specializes in folk theater and Rhineland comedy. The auditorium seats 383 people and includes accessible sections for wheelchair users.

The Millowitsch family settled in the building at Aachener Straße 5 in 1936, opening with "Mädchen für alles" on 16 October; the house had previously been the Coloniasäle. Willy Millowitsch took over its direction in 1940. After only slight war damage, performances resumed on 19 October 1945 at the request of Cologne mayor Konrad Adenauer. On 27 October 1953 the first live television broadcast of a stage play in Germany, "Der Etappenhase", was aired from here.

The venue takes its name from the Millowitsch family, who shaped its character over generations and connected it to Rhineland theatrical tradition. Many productions continue to be staged in Kölsch, keeping the bond with local audiences alive.

The theater sits close to Hahnentor and Rudolfplatz stops and is easy to reach by public transport. Tickets range from 19 to 24 euros, and access is available for wheelchair users.

Originally, the ensemble was a traveling troupe during the Great Depression before settling down permanently. Many artists of Rhineland dialect and local music groups began their careers on this stage.
