Ballhof, Renaissance theatre building in Mitte district, Hannover, Germany.
The Ballhof features a steel and glass foyer with copper roofing, connecting to the main performance hall with multiple seating arrangements.
Between 1649 and 1664, Duke Georg Wilhelm ordered the construction of Ballhof on the former grounds of St. Gallen Court as an indoor sports facility.
The venue presents contemporary interpretations of classic plays, new works by emerging authors, and experimental productions through the Young Division of Theater.
Tickets for Ballhof performances go on sale on the last Friday of each month for the following month's shows at the Staatstheater Hannover box office.
Originally built as a badminton court to allow weather-independent play, the building later served as an auction house and furniture storage before becoming a theater.
