Schauspiel Frankfurt, Municipal theater in Frankfurt, Germany
Schauspiel Frankfurt is a theater building with multiple performance spaces for different productions. The main auditorium holds about 689 seats, while smaller stages house experimental and innovative shows.
The original building from 1902 was destroyed in 1944 during World War II. The current structure was built in 1963 after years of temporary performance spaces.
The house presents works from Goethe to modern pieces, offering both classical and contemporary perspectives on theater. Visitors experience how German theater culture moves between tradition and innovation here.
The theater building offers accessibility features and regular introductory sessions before performances. Visitors should check in advance which productions are staged in which venue, as the complex has several spatially distributed stages.
In 1985, protesters occupied the stage during the premiere of Fassbinder's play about Frankfurt society. This was a moment when the theater itself became a site of social conflict.
