Horst Schlämmer seeks happiness at Weltspiegel Cottbus: an evening between comedy and cult figure

On April 28, 2026, Weltspiegel Cottbus brings Horst Schlämmer to the big screen – thus returning one of the most famous characters of Hape Kerkeling to the limelight. The screening starts at 5:15 PM and ends according to the event page at 6:45 PM; the evening promises a mix of satirical sharpness, deadpan humor, and the unmistakable Schlämmer tone.

A character that mirrors Germany for years

Horst Schlämmer is not just a comedy figure but a German media and stage phenomenon with high recognizability. Current film reviews describe the story as the journey of a restless seeker traversing Germany to sense the pervasive discontent and find an answer to the question of happiness. This blend of revue, improvisational gestures, and political-societal friction gives the material its drama.

Weltspiegel Cottbus: a historic place with a cinema soul

The evening takes place at Weltspiegel Cottbus, a historic movie theater located at Rudolf-Breitscheid-Straße 78, which is considered the oldest cinema-purpose building in Brandenburg. The venue opened in 1911, has a very large capacity of 514 seats according to the operator, and is now accessible via an elevator; at the same time, the operators point to limited wheelchair spaces. This provides not only comfort but also that theater atmosphere in which architecture and audience experience come together.
