Blutenburg-Theater

The Blutenburg-Theater is a theater company in Munich dedicated to crime plays, thrillers, and crime comedies, performing in an intimate venue with 95 seats. The compact space creates a close connection between stage and audience throughout each production.

Founded in October 1983, the company took over a building that previously served as the Walhalla-Lichtspiele cinema from 1918 to 1971. This conversion of a former cinema into a theater space represented a shift in how the location was used culturally.

The company has made Agatha Christie productions a cornerstone of its work, regularly staging classics like 'The Mousetrap' and 'Witness for the Prosecution'. These performances have become part of the neighborhood's cultural rhythm and draw fans of British crime drama.

The venue is easily accessible by public transport, with several U-Bahn and S-Bahn stations nearby including Maillingerstraße, Donnersbergerbrücke, Marsstraße, and Schlörstraße. Those arriving on foot will find the theater in a quiet, pedestrian-friendly part of the neighborhood.

This was Germany's first theater to dedicate itself entirely to crime-themed performances, establishing a completely new type of stage experience in the city. This singular focus remains uncommon in German-speaking theater today.
