Heinzel VR

Virtual time travel during Advent
---------------------------------

 Experience the fascinating world of the Heinzel of Cologne at the “” Christmas market between Alter Markt and Heumarkt. Aboard the nostalgic vintage bus “Heinzelexpress,” you embark on a virtual journey through time and immerse yourself right in the middle of the legendary bustle of the Heinzel. Your ride begins on the wintry Alter Markt of the 1920s – until suddenly the ground opens beneath you and you descend into a mysterious, illuminated underworld.

There, you encounter the Heinzel at work: in the stonemason’s workshop at the cathedral, in the carpentry shop at the workbench, in the flour-dusted bakery, and in the cooperage among barrels and wine. Inspired by the poem by August Kopisch, the VR experience tells the Cologne legend of the Heinzel’s diligence – and of the moment when their discovery changed everything. In the end, you return to the festively decorated Alter Markt with its grand Christmas tree. An immersive experience right at the Christmas market that uniquely combines tradition, atmosphere, and Cologne’s rich history.
