Tigerpalast, Performance theater in Frankfurt, Germany

Tigerpalast is a theater in Frankfurt featuring circus performances, comedy shows, and musical acts within the venue. The building houses an integrated restaurant where guests can dine before or after watching the performances.

Founded by Johnny Klinke, Margareta Dillinger and Matthias Beltz, the Tigerpalast opened on 30 September 1988 after five years of preparation and a two-year conversion of a former Salvation Army assembly hall. At the time, only Hamburg's Hansa-Theater still ran a year-round variety programme. In 1994 the venue initiated Philippe Petit's 300-metre tightrope walk between the Paulskirche and the cathedral for Frankfurt's 1200th anniversary.

The name Tigerpalast refers to the tiger, and the house restaurant has held two Michelin stars: from 2014 to 2017, first under Andreas Krolik, then under Christoph Rainer. Co-founder Matthias Beltz appeared on stage as conferencier, and the programme has featured escape artist Hans Moretti and jugglers Anthony Gatto, Francis Brunn and Kris Kremo.

The hall seats 190 people and the stage measures six by four metres, so every seat is close to the action. The entrance is on Heiligkreuzgasse, a small side street off the Zeil in the northeastern inner city. Access is limited for wheelchair users.

On 12 June 1994, as part of Frankfurt's 1200th anniversary, French artist Philippe Petit stretched a 300-metre rope between the Paulskirche and the cathedral and walked it for thirty minutes, miming key moments of the city's history 60 to 70 metres above the ground while the Radio-Sinfonie-Orchester Frankfurt played.
