Schauspiel Köln, Theatre and architectural heritage monument in Cologne, Germany.
Schauspiel Köln is a theatre and architectural heritage monument in Cologne with multiple performance spaces. It contains different sized stages that accommodate various types of productions and audience capacities.
The theatre was founded in 1898 and designed by architect Wilhelm Riphahn. It suffered significant damage during World War II and was subsequently restored.
The theatre stages classical plays, contemporary works, and dance performances created by local and international artists. Its program regularly includes productions for young audiences alongside experimental works.
