A Birthday in the Shadow Realm of Dark Humor
With Corpses in the Cellar Special: Creepy Birthday, Arnd Rühlmann returns to Club Kaulberg on September 25, 2026, opening the door to the reading atmosphere with which a little legend began in Bamberg. The event marks the start of the anniversary season of the nana theater and builds on a record reading series that has shaped the reputation of the Bamberg horror master since 1999. In 2009, the series even set the world record for the longest crime reading in the world. ([bamberg.info](https://www.bamberg.info/veranstaltungen/leichen_im_keller_spezial_cree-868429-12708175/))
When Goosebumps Meet Wordplay
The evening promises not to be a simple horror review but a literary experience between macabre tales, satirical tone, and pointed linguistic art. Rühlmann reads short crime stories and horror tales by authors from around the world, balancing between abyss and wink. The quality of this series lies precisely in this: it cultivates the genre of horror literature without tipping into mere effects. Instead, an intimate author encounter feeling arises with a voice that closely connects stage presence and textual sensitivity.

A Venue with Cellar Charm and Cultural Profile
Club Kaulberg in the vaulted cellar of the Cathedral Terraces has been a staple address for small arts, theater, and readings for years. The venue is located at Untere Kaulberg 36 in 96049 Bamberg and offers a dense, atmospheric environment that particularly suits Rühlmann's material. The next stage for dark miniatures could hardly be more fitting: a space that creates closeness and makes dark humor almost physically palpable. There are few parking options around the theater; the City-Altstadt underground garage is recommended. The nearest bus stops are Schulplatz and Laurenziplatz.

Arnd Rühlmann as the Voice of the Bamberg Reading Scene
Arnd Rühlmann has been leading the nana theater since 2011 and shapes Bamberg not only as a theater maker but also as a columnist and author. His artistic profile spans from stage work to satire to the continuous maintenance of the reading series Corpses in the Cellar. The fact that he received the Bavarian Culture Prize for his work underscores the cultural authority of this evening. Those who want to not only read literature but experience its performative power will find an evening of special density here.
