Theater in der Filmdose

Theater in der Filmdose is a private theater located within a dining establishment on Zülpicher Street in Cologne's university district. The space combines stage performances with food and beverage service in the same room.

The venue was founded in 1984 and takes its name from the Filmdose, which director Walter Bockmayer established in 1975 at the corner of Kyffhäuserstraße. This naming choice connects two stages of cultural development at the location.

The theater regularly presents German-language productions, ranging from musical performances to comedic plays that reflect local Cologne traditions and humor. Audiences experience these shows in a personal and direct setting.

Groups larger than four people should pre-order their meals when booking tickets to ensure smooth service before performances begin. This helps the staff coordinate timing properly.

The theater operates as an integrated space where audiences can enjoy meals and drinks during performances without leaving the room. This setup creates a casual and social experience that differs from traditional theater visits.
