Theater am Schiffbauerdamm, Historical theater in Mitte, Germany
The Theater am Schiffbauerdamm stands on the riverbank of Berlin with its Neo-baroque architecture designed by Heinrich Seeling, featuring a grand entrance and detailed facade decorations.
The theater opened its doors in January 1892 with a performance of Goethe's Iphigenie auf Tauris and later hosted the premiere of Gerhart Hauptmann's Die Weber in 1893.
The venue became the permanent home of the Berliner Ensemble in 1954, marking a new era in German theater under the direction of Helene Weigel and Bertolt Brecht.
The theater maintains regular evening performances throughout the season, with tickets available through the box office located at the main entrance or through their online booking system.
The theater's revolving stage runs on 32 wheels from a Soviet T-34 tank, obtained during the post-war period through negotiations with Soviet authorities.
