Die Katakombe Frankfurt, Theater in Frankfurt, Germany
Die Katakombe is a theater located near Frankfurt Zoo in a former cinema building. The stage measures about 50 square meters and accommodates 111 spectators.
The theater was founded in October 1960 by a collective of actors as Frankfurt Cellar Theater. The venue moved to Pfingstweidstrasse near the zoo in 1982.
The venue stages productions ranging from ancient works to contemporary plays, blending theater with music and dance elements. This mix of different artistic styles creates a distinct profile among the city's stages.
The seating rises in tiers toward the back of the auditorium, ensuring good views of the stage from every seat. Staff members help visitors find their places.
The programming is aligned with the Hessian curriculum for German literature studies, making it particularly relevant for high school students in the region. This creates a strong connection between the theater and the local school community.
