Kleist Theater

The Kleist Theater was a cultural venue in Frankfurt (Oder) with spaces dedicated to opera and theatrical productions near the city center. The building housed multiple performance areas and hosted regular events throughout its years of operation.

The institution was established in 1945 shortly after World War II and received its name in 1952 to honor writer Heinrich von Kleist. It operated under various management structures for decades before closing in 2000.
