Thursday | The Dating App Funeral | Cologne

Just a bar, everyone single. Because the world in 2026 is all about meeting IRL, not on dating apps!

LIEBE KÖLNER SINGLES,

Dieses Event zeigt: Auch ein Ende kann ein Anfang sein. Wir treffen uns, um der Dating-App-Kultur offiziell Lebewohl zu sagen und Platz für etwas Echtes zu machen. Willkommen bei The Dating App Funeral: Schluss mit endlosem Swipen, Ghosting und „wyd?“ Nachrichten. Trag dein schwarzes Outfit, während wir der Matches gedenken, die nie zurückgeschrieben haben, und die Rückkehr echter Chemie im echten Leben feiern. Freu dich auf humorvolle Funeral-Details, entspannte Icebreaker und viele Singles, die lieber reden als tippen. Komm vorbei, begrab die Apps … und vielleicht beginnt genau hier deine nächste Love Story. 

DEAR COLOGNE SINGLES,

This event is proof that in endings, there are beginnings. We’re gathering to lay modern dating culture to rest and spark something better in its place. Join us for a The Dating App Funeral, a farewell to endless swiping, ghosting, and “wyd?” texts. Dress in your fine black attire as we mourn the matches that never messaged back and celebrate the return of real-life chemistry. Expect playful funeral-themed touches, icebreakers designed to actually start conversations, and a room full of singles ready to connect beyond a screen. Come prepared to bury the apps… and maybe resurrect your love life.
