Comedians born in Haltern am See

Named for the reservoir lake that draws summer bathers and sailors, Haltern am See lies at the northern edge of the Ruhr in North Rhine-Westphalia, on the border of the rural Münsterland. It holds significant Roman history, with legionary camps once sited here. As Germany's live comedy circuit reaches beyond the cities, cultural venues in towns like Haltern increasingly welcome touring stand-up and regional cabaret performers.
