Weihnachten in der Heißen Ecke

The St. Pauli Musical

Coarse banter, heartwarming stories, and wonderful songs in a show that captures the everyday madness of the Reeperbahn in three hours: Welcome to the "Hot Corner." The St. Pauli musical centered around the legendary neighborhood snack bar, a perennial favorite at Schmidts Tivoli with over 2.8 million guests since 2003, is now coming to the stage in a unique Christmas version: with new scenes, wintery extra songs, and Christmas carols to sing along to. In the inimitable St. Pauli style, of course...

Nine actors take on over 50 roles and delight audiences with heart, sass, and humor in this fast-paced musical. 100 percent authentic—especially at Christmas!

Gift-giving madness, mulled wine frenzy: All of Hamburg is in the pre-Christmas spirit. Even at the "Heiße Ecke," Hannelore and her crew are getting ready for the festival of all holidays. The degree of contemplation: fluctuating.

While the garbage collectors cheerfully swing their snow shovels and make the tourists' teeth chatter on their neighborhood tour, the light-hearted girls in front of the "Red Banana" have pragmatically switched to down jackets and bobble hats – just like every year. And here at the snack bar, they all meet for a quick currywurst, a Knolle Astra, or a high-alcohol hot drink: real neighborhood types and true braggarts, musical fans and party people, drunken Santa Clauses, smooching reindeer, and maybe even the legendary Angel of St. Pauli. When he's involved, miracles come true, they say – and maybe there will even be a white Christmas in the neighborhood?

Weihnachtsgeschichten, besinnlich bis frech - Kellertheater

Escape the stress of shopping, forget about the hustle and bustle, enjoy coffee (or tea), nibble pastries and listen to Christmas stories - that's what the grown-ups are looking forward to, starting at the end of November every Wednesday at 3 pm.
The readings take place in the foyer, where a fir tree attuned to the feast, but where the seats are limited. Therefore, a timely reservation - also because of the great demand - absolutely necessary. The entrance fee is 13, -.

Weihnachtsmärchen: Der Wind in den Weiden

The two friends, Mole and Water Rat, are worried: The self-absorbed Toad of Toadhall leads a very extravagant life. He lives in a castle and is obsessed with technological advancements like expensive cars and motorboats, which he uses for wild outings that usually end in spectacular accidents. Together with Badger, they decide to put Toad out of his miserable ways and order him to stay under house arrest. Toad manages to escape, steals a car in a fit of bravado, and ends up behind bars. But he manages to escape again. Back at his castle, however, he finds utter chaos; it's overrun with martens and weasels! But what are friends for? Only they can help him now…

Weihnachtsmarkt an der Apostelkirche

For the fifth year in a row, the small but fine family Christmas village in Eimsbüttel opens its doors. The cozy and with great attention to detail designed ambience brings small and large hamburgers from November 22, 2018 again unforgettable hours. With its wonderful scenery in front of the apostle church, the market has already become the pre-Christmas favorite for many Eimsbüttlers.
A special feature is the colorful children's program: the little ones can let off steam in the play area, listen to imaginative fairy tales or even decorate delicious cookies in the fragrant Christmas bakery. Santa is coming on Sunday.
The lovingly crafted wooden stalls invite you to pre-Christmas feasting, while next door there are special Christmas presents to discover. At the covered campfire then the winter cold is expelled, listened to the varied musical program and relaxed in a cozy atmosphere and klönt. Another special feature is the extremely high-quality Winzerglühwein and the varied selection of dishes.
From December 10, 2018, Christmas trees from North German cultivation can traditionally also be selected and bought for the local room.
