A HISTORIC VENUE AND A SYMBOLIC LOCATION
Zum Schwarzen Stern overlooks Frankfurt’s Römerberg, a square that has served as the ceremonial, political, and commercial heart of the city for over six centuries. First documented in 1381, Römerberg has hosted imperial processions, royal celebrations, democratic revolutions, wartime destruction, and national rebirth.
For centuries, it served as the official center for the election and coronation of Holy Roman Emperors, with Römerberg acting as the public center for announcements, parades, and celebrations. Among the emperors historically associated with Frankfurt are Maximilian II, Rudolf II, Ferdinand II, Ferdinand III, and Leopold II. Today, the square continues as a symbolic stage for cultural connection and contemporary events.
ABOUT ZUM SCHWARZEN STERN
War, Reconstruction, and Cultural Renewal
During World War II, Frankfurt’s Altstadt was heavily damaged in the air raids of 1944, including large portions of Römerberg. Between 1981 and 1985, the historic eastern row of Römerberg houses, including Zum Schwarzen Stern, was meticulously reconstructed in historically faithful detail, restoring the medieval and Renaissance façades.
Today, Zum Schwarzen Stern stands as a restored cultural landmark, offering interior rooms and terraces that overlook one of Europe’s most historically charged public squares. Its historic setting amplifies the resonance of every performance held there, providing a unique atmosphere that connects guests to centuries of European history while celebrating contemporary cultural events.
EXPERIENCING CHRISTMAS IN GERMANY AND THE SNOW
Germany in December is breathtaking. The streets are lined with twinkling lights Christmas markets fill the air with music and laughter and snow covers rooftops and parks in a soft white blanket. Walking through the city I feel the quiet magic of the season.
"I love the feeling of snow crunching under my feet the smell of hot chocolate in the market stalls and the way the world feels softer calmer and more beautiful. I still remember the childlike wonder of trying to make snowmen never perfect always funny but full of joy. Snow allows me to feel hope peace and the excitement of Christmas as if I were a child again"
These moments inspired the recording of Heilige Nacht a song that celebrates faith love family and the joy of Christmas.
“ICH BIN EIN BERLINER” - FROM KENNEDY TO KOBUS MULLER
On 25 June 1963, one day before his Berlin appearance, U.S. President John F. Kennedy addressed the people of Frankfurt from the Römerberg area, just meters from the spot where, more than six decades later, Kobus Muller would perform. The following day, Kennedy famously declared in Berlin.
“Ich bin ein Berliner.”
(English: I am a Berliner)
At the height of the Cold War, Kennedy’s words symbolized solidarity, freedom, and shared identity:
“I stand with you. You are not alone. Your freedom matters.”
During his performance at Zum Schwarzen Stern, Kobus Muller stood just a few meters from the spot where Kennedy addressed the public. Reflecting on his journey to Germany, he repeated:
“Ich bin ein Berliner.”
For Kobus Muller, these words were deeply personal:
“I am not only a visiting artist in Germany. I am at home here. I belong here. I am grateful for the warmth and welcome of the German people. My heart will always beat proudly South African, yet it is now shared with Germany, which has become like a second family to me. I have proudly embraced German culture while bridging it with my South African roots, connecting nations and cultures through music. With over two decades of experience as a professional Singer, Songwriter, and Music Producer, I have had the privilege of performing and releasing music in multiple languages. I now continue my career in Germany, while striving to further strengthen my role as a cultural ambassador in Europe.
Apart from Afrikaans, the language of my upbringing, I am also connected to the other 10 official South African languages and I have grown to love the German language deeply. I dedicate myself every day to perfect it (as even Germans will tell you, with all its der, die, das, it’s not easy!) - not only for myself, but out of profound respect for the German culture, the German people, and Germany, which have welcomed me so warmly as a foreigner.
I feel the same sense of responsibility and solidarity: to build bridges, celebrate freedom and cultural connection, and show that art and music can unite nations and people across borders.
I am also working on something very special for the German people and for GERMANY AS A NATION, as a way to celebrate this shared connection and express my deepest gratitude and pride in calling myself a resident of Germany. Just as I promised South Africa that I would make them proud abroad, I now commit to making Germany proud as well, honoring the generosity and warmth that have welcomed me into this country.”
In that moment, history, music, identity, and gratitude came together, and the audience witnessed what the words ‘Ich bin ein Berliner’ truly meant to an artist finding a new home in Germany. They sensed the emotion behind a journey carried across continents, the courage it takes to start anew, and the joy of discovering a place where one’s voice, story, and spirit are welcomed. In echoing Kennedy’s famous words, he was not invoking history, but embracing their spirit in a deeply personal way: as an expression of pride, gratitude, and the feeling of finally belonging in Germany.
RECENT HIGHLIGHTS AND CULTURAL IMPACT
Kobus Muller’s dedication to his African roots and commitment to connecting cultures have been widely recognized. On 18 July 2025, International Nelson Mandela Day, he performed the South African national anthem at the South African Embassy in Berlin. The Embassy praised his artistry:
“Kobus Muller is a renowned and multi-award-winning South African singer, known for his powerful voice and heartfelt lyrics. His artistry echoes the strength and resilience that Nelson Mandela stood for”.
This endorsement reflects Kobus Muller’s commitment to building bridges between nations and cultures, embodying Mandela Day’s spirit, and using music to unite people across borders. His performance at Frankfurt, together with the invocation of ‘Ich bin ein Berliner,’ continues this legacy - honoring Germany’s openness, celebrating South African pride, and demonstrating how art and music foster cultural understanding and connection. For further examples of his representation of South Africa at official German events, see Kobus Muller at the German Federal Government Open Day.
In recent months, his rendition of "Shosholoza", widely regarded as South Africa’s unofficial second anthem, performed in Ndebele and Zulu, has resonated internationally, with TikTok videos of his performance at the Tag der offenen Tür im Auswärtigen Amt amassing between 3.7 and 10.6 million views each as of 24 December 2025. Similarly, his impromptu a cappella performance of the South African national anthem, "Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika", featuring multiple South African languages, gained widespread attention on the Embassy’s social media platforms, further highlighting his ability to connect with audiences across cultures.
His most recent release, "Amazing Grace (To the Ones Who Chose Me)", reflects his personal journey, gratitude, and resilience. Born in South Africa and adopted shortly after birth, he draws on decades of lived experience and the influence of his adoptive family to create music that resonates deeply with global audiences. The song stands as a heartfelt tribute to his adoptive parents who shaped his life and embodies themes of belonging, perseverance, and appreciation.
Through his music, live performances, and digital presence-engaging with over 318,000 followers on TikTok as of 24 December 2025 and rapidly growing-Kobus Muller continues to reach diverse audiences across countries, cultures, and languages. He strives to be a cultural ambassador, building bridges between South Africa, Germany, and Europe and beyond, while connecting people through the universal language of music.
LOOKING AHEAD: AN EXCITING 2026 FOR KOBUS MULLER
As 2025 draws to a close, Kobus Muller reflects on a year of meaningful performances, cultural connection, and artistic growth.
“Good things take time, and some things can’t be rushed. The next chapter is coming, and it’s closer than you think. Patience has its rewards, and soon, my music journey in 2026 will take a turn with an exciting twist that no one will see coming. I can’t wait to share the news”.
This sentiment captures both gratitude for the connections, performances, and moments that have shaped his year, and anticipation for what lies ahead. While the details remain a carefully kept secret, 2026 promises to open a new chapter in Kobus Muller’s life and career, one that will continue to explore the power of music, storytelling, and cultural connection.
Fans and collaborators alike are invited to stay tuned: the coming year is set to reveal projects, collaborations, and experiences that will unfold gradually, with depth and intention.

Germany in December is breathtaking. The streets are lined with twinkling lights Christmas markets fill the air with music and laughter and snow covers rooftops and parks in a soft white blanket. Walking through the city I feel the quiet magic of the season.
"I love the feeling of snow crunching under my feet the smell of hot chocolate in the market stalls and the way the world feels softer calmer and more beautiful.

These moments inspired the recording of Heilige Nacht a song that celebrates faith love family and the joy of Christmas.
“ICH BIN EIN BERLINER” - FROM KENNEDY TO KOBUS MULLER
On 25 June 1963, one day before his Berlin appearance, U.S. President John F. Kennedy addressed the people of Frankfurt from the Römerberg area, just meters from the spot where, more than six decades later, Kobus Muller would perform. The following day, Kennedy famously declared in Berlin.
“Ich bin ein Berliner.”
(English: I am a Berliner)
At the height of the Cold War, Kennedy’s words symbolized solidarity, freedom, and shared identity:
“I stand with you. You are not alone. Your freedom matters.”
During his performance at Zum Schwarzen Stern, Kobus Muller stood just a few meters from the spot where Kennedy addressed the public. Reflecting on his journey to Germany, he repeated:
“Ich bin ein Berliner.”
For Kobus Muller, these words were deeply personal:
“I am not only a visiting artist in Germany. I am at home here. I belong here. I am grateful for the warmth and welcome of the German people. My heart will always beat proudly South African, yet it is now shared with Germany, which has become like a second family to me.

I feel the same sense of responsibility and solidarity: to build bridges, celebrate freedom and cultural connection, and show that art and music can unite nations and people across borders.
I am also working on something very special for the German people and for GERMANY AS A NATION, as a way to celebrate this shared connection and express my deepest gratitude and pride in calling myself a resident of Germany. Just as I promised South Africa that I would make them proud abroad, I now commit to making Germany proud as well, honoring the generosity and warmth that have welcomed me into this country.”
In that moment, history, music, identity, and gratitude came together, and the audience witnessed what the words ‘Ich bin ein Berliner’ truly meant to an artist finding a new home in Germany. They sensed the emotion behind a journey carried across continents, the courage it takes to start anew, and the joy of discovering a place where one’s voice, story, and spirit are welcomed. In echoing Kennedy’s famous words, he was not invoking history, but embracing their spirit in a deeply personal way: as an expression of pride, gratitude, and the feeling of finally belonging in Germany.
