Renaissancetheater, Historical theater in Neubaugasse, Vienna, Austria

Renaissancetheater is a performance venue located within a residential building on Neubaugasse in Vienna's 7th district, with seating for around 667 people. The hall features modern stage equipment suited for different types of theatrical and cultural productions.

The venue was established in 1912 as a home for the Wiener Freie Volksbühne, which offered affordable performances to its membership. This founding reflected the broader movement to make culture accessible to wider social groups.

Since 1970, the venue serves exclusively as a home for Theater der Jugend, presenting productions crafted specifically for children and young audiences. Visitors encounter performances designed to speak directly to younger theatergoers.

The venue is located at Neubaugasse 36 in Vienna's 7th district and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors should check the current program in advance, as performances are tailored for younger audiences.

The hall was probably built by the brothers Eduard and Emanuel Schweinburg, but the sources only say they were likely responsible for its installation, not for the facade or the whole building. Because the theatre is not a standalone structure, it was often called the Renaissancebühne. The auditorium originally held 844 seats, now 667.
