Deutsches Schauspielhaus, Neo-baroque theater in St. Georg, Hamburg, Germany
The Deutsches Schauspielhaus is a neo-baroque theatre building in the St. Georg district of Hamburg. The facade displays rich stucco decorations, while inside, curved staircases lead to several tiered balconies.
The building was opened in 1901 according to plans by the Viennese architects Fellner and Helmer. The patrons were wealthy Hamburg citizens who realized a private initiative to promote the performing arts.
The name refers to the tradition of German-language spoken drama, which is maintained here by a permanent ensemble. Visitors experience performances in a repertoire system, where different productions alternate on different evenings.
The building sits a few walking minutes from Hamburg Central Station and is easy to reach on foot. Performances usually take place in the evening, with different productions on consecutive days.
With 1192 seats, the building is considered the largest German spoken drama theatre. Since its opening, numerous premieres of major German-language playwrights have been presented here.
