Theater im Hafen, Musical theater in Steinwerder, Germany
Theater im Hafen is a musical theater in Steinwerder situated directly across from the Landungsbrücken, featuring a modern glass facade. The building accommodates over 2000 spectators and sits prominently within Hamburg's harbor landscape.
The theater was built in 1994 on the grounds of the former Stülcken shipyard. A major renovation in 2001 expanded the building to accommodate a larger audience.
The theater displays artworks from Northern German and international artists in its lobby and restaurant areas. Visitors encounter these pieces as they move through the spaces before and after performances.
The theater is accessible by special ferry services from St. Pauli Landungsbrücken, departing approximately two hours before each performance. Arriving by water is part of the experience and should be factored into your visit planning.
The main hall features a rotating stage that allows productions to be configured in multiple ways. Because of the compact floor area, every seat places viewers close to the performance, creating an intimate connection with the show.
