An Afternoon with Monaco Franze to Mark Helmut Fischer's 100th Birthday
On November 15, 2026—100 years ago—Helmut Fischer, the incomparable Monaco Franze, was born.
In his honor, we’re showing all episodes of the cult series “Monaco Franze – Der ewige Stenz” at the Elektra Tonquartier in the Bergson Kunstkraftwerk. Look forward to an afternoon full of Munich charm, subtle humor, and timeless stories featuring the “eternal Stenz,” whose zest for life continues to inspire us to this day.
Afterward, we invite you to a small reception at the Bergson Gallery. There, you’ll find an exhibition by renowned photographer Michael von Hassel, who—to mark the 100th anniversary of Helmut Fischer’s birth—has captured the original filming locations of “Monaco Franze – The Eternal Dandy” in photographs. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet actors from the “Monaco Franze” production at a meet-and-greet. Drinks at the reception are included in the admission price.
