International Women's Day

Cabaret for International Women's Day - "Hilde from Bornheim" in Rodgau (event is sold out)

The women of Rodgau will be celebrating International Women's Day with a cabaret treat on Sunday, 8 March 2026, in the auditorium of the Georg Büchner School, Nordring 32 in Rodgau-Jügesheim. The Equal Rights Office of the City of Rodgau cordially invites all women (and expressly men too) to join in the celebrations.

The event starts at 10 a.m. with a varied finger food buffet.

From 11 a.m., "Hilde from Bornheim" will take to the stage and get the laugh muscles moving with her captivatingly funny look at everyday life.

Rumour has it that Hilde will soon be "Germany's Next Top Kittel" and she has indeed been a firm star of the Hessian cabaret scene for 20 years. With bologna in her smock, sharp humour and disarming repartee, she talks about life's big and small questions, from depressive canaries to unexpected moonwalk interludes. Many people ask themselves: What is actually behind, or rather underneath this smock? The answer is: Stefani Kunkel, who has created one of her most successful Hessian stage characters in Hilde. She has been slipping into the iconic smock for two decades now and presents Hilde's disarmingly funny view of the world. With plenty of humour, irony and heart, "Hilde from Bornheim" promises an unforgettable morning that is all about International Women's Day: celebrating, laughing and making a statement together.

International Women's Day is celebrated by women's organisations around the world on 8 March. It originated in the fight for equal rights and women's suffrage and looks back on a long tradition. 8 March is a day to focus on women's rights, peace and a humane society.

Despite the legal equality of women in the Basic Law, the reality in Germany continues to show clear differences: on average, women earn 23% less than men, are less frequently represented in management positions and are three times as likely to take on responsibility for childcare and nursing. Even more than 100 years after its creation, International Women's Day has therefore lost none of its significance and topicality.
