The theater was founded in 1802 by the Bonn-born tailor Johann Christoph Winters in Mauthgasse. The beginnings of this puppet theater were simple nativity plays for children, which were performed during Advent.

The Hänneschen Theater, officially the Puppet Theater of the City of Cologne, is a traditional stick puppet theater on the Eisenmarkt in the southern Martinsviertel of Cologne's Altstadt-Nord district. With around 25 permanent employees - 14 of whom are puppeteers - it is the puppet theater with the most employees in Germany. It generates around 60 percent of its budget itself, making it by far the most efficient municipal theater nationwide.
