Bonn City History with Charm, Wit, and Surprising Street Names
On Sunday, November 1, 2026, the comedy With Pittenkötter and Kersting: On the Trail of Bonn Street Names! invites you to an entertaining discovery experience at Atelier Laë. Larissa Laë and Rainer SELmanN combine local history, Bonn city knowledge, and pointed stage performance into a special cultural evening.
When Street Names Come to Life
The focus is on the quirky retiree Kersting, who is captivated by the renowned historian Prof. Pittenkötter. With increasingly outrageous and imaginative explanations for the origins of Bonn street names, he attempts to win over the stern scholar. Her knowledgeable corrections turn the encounter into an amusing game between historical expertise and a charming campaign of conquest.
Comedy as an Unusual City Tour
The production brings Bonn city history to the stage and offers a humorous perspective on the cultural heritage of the federal city. Street names no longer appear as mere orientation in the city map but as starting points for stories, conjectures, and surprising connections. This makes the performance a cultural enrichment for Bonn connoisseurs as well as for visitors who want to combine their journey with a special city discovery.
An Evening with Larissa Laë and Rainer SELMAN
The play is written by Larissa Laë and Rainer SELMAN and performed by both themselves. Between indignation, amusement, and occasionally questionable charm, a dialogue unfolds on stage that conveys historical topics in an accessible and entertaining way. The performance lasts from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM; doors open at 3:30 PM.
Atelier Laë in the Center of Bonn
The Atelier Laë at Heisterbacherhofstraße, corner of Josefstraße, provides the perfect setting for this intimate comedy about Bonn's city history. The access is barrier-free. Tickets cost 20 Euros per person. Registration is possible via email at RSelmann@kultnews.de or by phone at 0228 / 697682.
