“This Is Berlin” – How It All Began
Welcome to an evening the likes of which you’ll find only in Berlin!
Immerse yourself in the world of the renowned painter, graphic artist, and photographer Heinrich Zille (1858–1929)—a world brought to life with charm and humor. With a quintessential Berlin wit, a wealth of anecdotes, and a sharp, playful edge, Zille guides you through the back courtyards and tales of his era. But this time, things are even more vibrant, cheeky, and glamorous: dancers, songs, and entertaining show elements bring Berlin’s history to life—fresh, surprising, and guaranteed to leave you laughing until you cry.
From Berlin-born inventions and classic local stories to the homespun wisdom found in Zille’s Milljöh (his beloved social milieu), history is transformed into pure entertainment—delivered with heart, charm, and a knowing wink. All this is served up alongside an authentic taste of the capital, set within the unmistakable atmosphere of the SHOWBÜHNE Berlin.
It’s an evening that bridges the past and the present—filled with music, dance, humor, and a generous dose of the true Berlin spirit.
