She was one of the most famous artists in the GDR: a singer, comedian, entertainer and a true Berlin original – the unforgettable Helga ‘Henne’ Hahnemann. With ‘DICKE DA – Tribute to Helga Hahnemann’, the popular entertainer is now being honoured with a new tribute that is as humorous as it is heartfelt.

A big mouth, a big heart and an unmistakable laugh: when Chris Schlenker takes to the stage as Helga Hahnemann, there won’t be a dry eye in the house.
With Berlin charm, plenty of spirit and a good dose of cheek, she brings ‘Big Helga’ back to life.
Of course, the beloved classics are a must: from ‘Jetzt kommt dein Süßer’ and ‘Hundertmal Berlin’ to ‘Dicke da’ and ‘Wo ist mein Geld nur geblieben’, it’s all there. The legendary Richter sketch also provides top-class entertainment and plenty of moments of recognition. Tap dancer Tassilo Ebersbach adds extra verve.
Whether you’re a long-standing fan who grew up with Helga Hahnemann or a newcomer keen to discover this Berlin icon for the first time, this show promises an entertaining journey into the world of ‘Henne’ – guaranteed to make you smile, laugh heartily and sing along.
Extra tip for that authentic GDR and Berlin flair:
Round off the evening in true style with the classic “Henne platter” of Bockwurst, Bautz’ner mustard and Club-Cola, or the “Henne snack bag” with Russian bread, crispy flakes and Prosecco.
