Stadttheater Lindau

Stadttheater Lindau is a former monastery building now serving as a performance venue with a main auditorium seating 688 people spread across the ground floor and two galleries. An orchestra pit and modern stage facilities enable a wide range of artistic productions.

The building dates to the 13th century when it was constructed as a monastery and was fundamentally transformed after World War II. Its opening as Germany's first post-war theater in 1951 with Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro marked an important cultural renewal.

The building hosts theater productions, opera performances, ballet shows, and chamber concerts that bring different art forms to audiences in one place. The stage serves the local arts community and shapes the cultural life of the island town.

The building sits on the island and is easy to reach on foot, especially if you are already in the town center. Information about current schedules and programs is best obtained directly at the venue or through advance planning.

The Lindau Puppet Opera uses the theater for performances featuring marionettes whose precise movements are perfectly synchronized to the music. This specialized form draws audiences from across the entire region.
