Munich Kammerspiele, Theater building on Maximilianstrasse, Munich, Germany
The Munich Kammerspiele is a theater house on Maximilianstrasse in the old town of Munich. The building dates from 1926 and shows Art Nouveau forms designed by Richard Riemerschmid.
Erich Ziegel founded the stage in 1911 as a private venue. Otto Falckenberg later took over direction and brought the house into municipal ownership in 1933.
The name Kammerspiele refers to the original idea of a smaller, more intimate venue alongside larger playhouses. Directors and actors now use the stages for contemporary theater that often addresses current themes and draws younger audiences.
The house offers three venues: the main hall on Maximilianstrasse and two additional spaces on Hildegardstrasse and in the Therese-Giehse-Halle. Performances take place in the evening, and tickets can be reserved in advance or purchased at the box office.
The Otto Falckenberg School has trained actors since 1946 and is directly connected to the theater. Graduates like Mario Adorf and Sandra Hüller started their careers here and sometimes still perform on these stages.
