In the organizer's words:

"KÖLSCH MILLJÖ"

2026

"Leeder, Krätzjer un Verzällcher"

In the coming year 2026, we look forward to presenting a new season of the popular "Kölsch Milljö" program. When asked about the secret of its success, Roland Kulik answers with a smile: "We dig deep into the Kölsch soul and show that 'being Kölsch' is much more than just carnival." This is exactly what is reflected in the "Kölsch Milljö". The name says it all: "Leeder, Krätzjer un Verzällcher" are performed in the Cologne dialect and touch the Cologne heart from piece to piece, from song to song.

A central element is the Cologne language, which is cultivated here with great passion. The audience often hears terms that have almost been forgotten - and this often causes smiles and recognition. Last season, for example, Charly Plückthun talked about his "Kölsche Weihnacht", how he has "en Mords-Kadangks vür minger Frau", which made the audience laugh out loud.

But it's not just the language, the music also plays a key role. Handmade and with real passion, the ensemble celebrates a broad musical repertoire. The fun of the performers is transferred directly to the audience when Cologne sounds merge with classical music - a challenge that Roland Kulik accepts with great skill and dedication. With a love of detail and a special feel for Cologne culture, he creates a new program every year that entertains, touches and expresses Cologne's joie de vivre in a unique way.

Look forward to the "Kölsch Milljö" 2026 - with even more Cologne charm, musical highlights and lots of Cologne emotions!
