The cult band of the 80s

The music of Münchener Freiheit has a special attraction. Its charm remains unbroken to this day and is strong enough to win over the hearts of the upcoming generation. Hits like "Oh Baby," "SOS," the super hits "Ohne Dich," "1000-mal Du," or the symphonic masterpiece "So lang’ man Träume noch leben kann" can be found in almost every CD shelf in the country.

Münchener Freiheit is a band that has written German and also international pop history. One reason for this is certainly the unique "Freiheit-Sound" consisting of unmistakable harmony singing, beautiful, catchy melodies, and gripping straight rock rhythms. After just a few seconds, every music fan knows: this can only be Münchener Freiheit.

In the fall of 2011, singer Stefan Zauner decided to go his own way and leave the band. In the future, Stefan wants to realize himself a bit more by producing his own songs and CDs and creating productions for other artists.

The name and brand "Münchener Freiheit" has been shaped over the past 30 years by all 5 band members into what the band is today. Therefore, Aron Strobel, Michael Kunzi, Rennie Hatzke, and Alex Grünwald will continue to perform with Tim as the new frontman and produce CDs.

Tim received classical vocal training, is an actor, and has been a host on several TV programs on ARD, BR, RTL, etc. Tim Wilhelm is already known to the band through several joint studio productions over the years. The first shows in the new lineup were extremely successful, as Tim excels at engaging both the existing fan base and new fans with his refreshing presence.

Wallis Bird is back: In 2026, the Irish artist will finally tour again with her band, bringing her new album "I Can See Your House From Here," on which she powerfully explores existential themes. After two years on the road with the neo-classical band Spark for their joint album "Visions Of Venus," it is once again time for Wallis Bird to give her own and especially the new songs an exclusive place on stage. Because that is exactly where the power of the artist shines the brightest: Her intense energy, magnificent voice, and the sharing of intimate moments make her shows special, inclusive experiences that touch, shake up, and connect.

Doors open: 7:00 PM

They are beautiful, sharp, quirky, and highly musical – and strong-willed. The latter is essential, as who else could perform all their stage programs simultaneously? There are five since 2011, and some shining pieces are simply too precious to only shimmer and shine occasionally. So, shaken and stirred vigorously, the result is an adventurous mix in the best Schöne Mannheims style: songs and comedy, laugh-out-loud funny and beautifully moving. Without regard for personal sensitivities and with plenty of self-irony, the name Schöne Mannheims stands for one thing above all: top-class musical entertainment, made in Monnem!

The Schönes consist of three fantastic voices and a brilliantly played piano: the singers and actresses Anna Krämer and Susanne Back, as well as opera diva Smaida Platais. At the keys, virtuoso and sensitive, the master of the raised eyebrow - Stefanie Titus.

After his moving and celebrated solo concert at Enjoy Jazz 2023, the extraordinary pianist and composer Jason Moran is embarking on a solo journey once again. This time with the music of the great Duke Ellington, as a tribute, memory, and re-contextualization. As Moran himself says, it took him decades to feel ready to open the door to Duke's mastery as a composer, bandleader, and above all as a pianist. The result shows Moran at the peak of his skill and virtuosity. Deeply immersed in the historical and musical significance of Ellington, whose work he translates with his own artistic interpretation. Respectfully and with great sensitivity, it presents Moran as a master of intertwining melodic lines, with which he creates an entire sound universe. Like a painting made of eruptive color gradients, thick and shimmering.

THE ROOM

TWO PEOPLE! ONE ROOM! NO ESCAPE!
Psychothriller-Musical
with Inna Herrmann & Darius Merstein

Why are they here? Who locked them in? And is the room really the prison – or are they themselves?

This evening is accompanied by specially composed music.

A wild ride through 1000 years of art – an overview of all epochs! Why is the Baroque the cocaine of art? What does Expressionism have to do with the Milka cow? And why is the Renaissance the overachiever among the epochs? Full of humor, the comedian and art historian Jakob Schwerdtfeger provides an understandable and well-founded overview of all art epochs – from the Middle Ages to the present day. Like a truffle pig, he searches for fun facts and anecdotes, whether from great masters or underrated underdogs. Why did the Mona Lisa end up in a pizza advertisement? How did ghost summoning influence the invention of abstraction? And how did singer Taylor Swift make an unknown painting world-famous? This book has the answers ready. Schwerdtfeger's unique mix of knowledge and entertainment allows us to experience art history anew. So, no more overwhelm and boredom!

The duo has been bringing good, handmade music and plenty of humor to the stage for quite some time.

Mela is no longer an unknown as a singer and actress. She has performed on stage at the Rhein-Neckar Theater and the Prinzregententheater, played Janet and Magenta in the "Rocky Horror Show" and Ronette in "Little Shop of Horrors." With the band "Back to the 80s," she tours Germany, rocks New Year's Eve at the Capitol Mannheim for years, and grooves with "Soul & Pepper." Additionally, she has become indispensable as part of the podcast "Pamela – the two blondes nobody knows."

Flo is a drummer, percussionist, and guitarist through and through. With the Udo Lindenberg tribute band "Panik für Udo," in "Plush 7," "Soul & Pepper," and as an accompanist for numerous musicals – from "Little Shop of Horrors," "The Rocky Horror Show," "The Gingerbread Man," "The Watzmann," to the Pink Floyd tribute project "The Wall" – he has built an impressive musical home.

Together as Mela’n the acoustic Flow, concerts full of energy, humor, and soul arise. Flo captivates with guitar, ukulele, and percussion – Mela with a voice that touches, excites, and makes you laugh. And the stories in between? You won’t hear them anywhere else.

Doors open 1.5 hours before the start.

A living room that looks like a battlefield – as if a tornado, a group of guys, and a XXL pizza orgy have celebrated. In the middle: four guys with memory gaps, questionable excuses, and the all-decisive question: Who owns the thong? 😳

But when the wives suddenly come home early, things really escalate: BECAUSE suddenly there’s Svetlana – the cleaning lady with an accent and a figure that enters the room before she does! Svetlana's outfit? Minimal. Her IQ? Well, let’s put it this way: Her breasts have more curves than her train of thought.

And that's exactly where the chaos begins...

A comedy full of misunderstandings, outrageous humor, and a thong that raises more questions than it answers.

🎟 Secure your tickets now! Because: Those who miss "Wem gehört der String?" will end up without enlightenment – and above all, without sore laughing muscles! 😄

What does love mean here?
History and stories are everything!

How do lovers remember their time together? What did he find in her, she in him – and what not? What brought them together? And why do two people never tell the same story of their time together?
From interviews with former lovers, Eva Christina Zeller has woven a novel. It takes you from the Berlin bohemia to an island in the South Pacific, where Lena met James among sea lions and penguins, and back to Germany in the 1980s, where she lost Ulrich – reunions full of insight, closeness, and shame.
After the successful autofictional novels Unterm Teppich (2022) and Muttersuchen (2024), now comes Alte Lieben – almost a trilogy.
