Stadttheater Amberg
Stadttheater Amberg, Theatre in Amberg, Germany.
Description
Stadttheater Amberg is a theatre in the heart of the old town with a stone facade and architectural features from its past as a church. The interior combines original religious details with modern theatre functions including a stage, seating, and lighting systems.
History
The building began as the Franciscan monastery church of St. Bernard, built between 1455 and 1482, before becoming a theatre in 1803. This conversion marked the shift from a religious space to a cultural venue for public performances.
