The Inn by the Düssel: Crime comedy brings suspense to Düsseldorf

A crime evening that captivates Düsseldorf

With The Inn by the Düssel, the theater at Luegallee brings a crime-comedy by Stefan Schroeder to the stage, intertwining dark humor, lively dialogues, and classic suspect fever. Four actors take on 31 roles, directed by Christiane Reichert, and the premise promises a race against time with a masked murderer, missing jewels, and a trail leading directly to the inn.

Between Jewel Theft and Thrill

The story begins with a series of murders that keeps Düsseldorf on edge: valuable jewels disappear, their former owners die in mysterious ways, and the police follow the signs of a black hand. Inspector Platt and his colleague Derrick navigate a hornet's nest, where every door holds a new secret and every character a further twist.

Boulevard with Speed and Precision

The theater at Luegallee is known as an intimate chamber theater, a staple in Oberkassel for decades, offering a program that ranges from crime, thriller, comedy, to musical evenings and literary events. It is in this space that the production reveals its unique theatrical atmosphere: close to the audience, with direct acting, palpable acoustics, and a mood that makes every punchline feel like a well-timed stage thrust.

A house that loves proximity and tension

The theater is located at Luegallee 4 in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel and is easily accessible by subway via the Luegplatz stop. There are no disabled parking spaces in front of the house, the access is barrier-free, but the restrooms are not wheelchair accessible; the theater recommends contacting them beforehand for appropriate seating. For drivers, parking is available in the immediate vicinity and at Feldmühleplatz. ([theaterluegallee.de](https://theaterluegallee.de/das-theater-an-der-luegallee/))

Why this evening is likely to succeed

The production relies on fast scene changes, a tight ensemble, and the charm of a crime-comedy that does not hide its Edgar-Wallace influences but plays them out enjoyably. The Düsseldorfer audience hit is shown in a local version for the first time, bringing exactly the mixture of suspense, playfulness, and audience reaction that makes for a successful live experience.
