Augsburger Puppenkiste, Marionette theatre in Heilig-Geist-Spital, Augsburg, Germany
The Augsburger Puppenkiste performs traditional marionette shows in a restored medieval building, featuring handcrafted wooden puppets operated by skilled puppeteers.
Walter Oehmichen established this puppet theatre in 1948 after his previous theatre, Puppenschrein, was destroyed during World War II bombings.
The theatre produced numerous television adaptations between 1953 and 1995 for German broadcaster ARD, creating characters that influenced generations of German children.
The theatre presents 420 performances annually, maintaining a dedicated schedule of shows for both children during daytime hours and adults in evening slots.
The museum Die Kiste displays original puppets and sets from past productions, allowing visitors to examine the intricate craftsmanship of these wooden performers.
