Theater im Nikolaiviertel (Theatre in the Nikolai district)

An old-school Berlin evening? Where better than at Theater im Nikolaiviertel? Where real Berlin dialect ensures a real Berlin experience. "Typical Berlin" gets an entirely new meaning here.

Appropriately, this theatre is located in the historic heart of Berlin: the Nikolai Quarter, next door to the oldest church in Berlin, the Nikolai Church. The small, almost intimate theatre is in the basement of the Gedenkbibliothek.

Berlin dialect since 2004

The Theater im Nikolaiviertel has been performing since 2004 and has since become THE place for pieces about the capital.

It all got started with Zille sein Milijöh , a musical tour of old Berlin as once drawn by artist Heinrich Zille: touching, temperamental, brash. The piece has been a hit for more than 15 years and it is pretty unique in Berlin.

Program at the Theater im Nikolaiviertel

The theatre has brought many other Berlin stories to the stage besides Zille, including:

• the Friedrich Hollaender Hommage, a tribute to Berlin composer Friedrich Hollaender, who wrote music for 270 films
