Renaissance-Theater, Art Deco theater in Charlottenburg, Germany.
The Renaissance-Theater is a theater building designed in Art Deco style, distinguished by interior walls covered in pink rosewood. Elaborate decorative details and a large inlaid mural featuring commedia dell'arte motifs shape the character of the space.
The building opened in 1922 with a performance of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's Miss Sara Sampson. The venue later faced closure as a result of the Nazi regime's policies.
The theater presents contemporary plays from around the world and modern interpretations of classic works, shaped by the artistic vision of director Guntbert Warns. This programming reflects the venue's focus on current artistic voices and new theatrical directions.
The building is located in a central area and is easily accessible by public transportation, making a visit straightforward. Visitors should check current hours before planning a theater visit to ensure they arrive at the right time.
This is the only completely preserved Art Deco theater building in all of Europe, maintaining its original features from the 1920s. This completeness makes it a rare example of theater architecture from that era.
