Konradhaus Koblenz, Theatre and cultural heritage monument in Koblenz-Ehrenbreitstein, Germany
The Konradhaus is a three-storey neoclassical building at Kapuzinerplatz 135 in Koblenz-Ehrenbreitstein, laid out on a 6:3 axis. The ground floor has rustication, round-arched windows and a closing cornice; the two upper floors, once officers' flats, show scored ashlar, and the hipped roof carries new dormers. A side wing holds the theatre hall.
Built in 1874 as a casino and officers' residence, the building played an important role in the city's social life. After 1930, Capuchin monks purchased it and converted it for educational purposes, fundamentally changing its function.
The Capuchins named the building after Konrad von Parzham, a lay brother canonized in 1934, when they bought it in 1930 for their Seraphisches Liebeswerk youth charity. A statue of him stands above the portal of the connecting passage to the neighbouring monastery. The former theatre hall, ballet school and Pilates studio now occupy the building.
The Konradhaus stands at Kapuzinerplatz 135 in Koblenz-Ehrenbreitstein, next to the Capuchin monastery. Since the theatre closed in 2014, the hall has no regular programme and can only be rented for events. A ballet school and a Pilates studio now occupy rooms in the building.
A decorative passage connects the building to the Capuchin monastery and displays a figure of Saint Konrad von Parzham. This link is visible to visitors and shows how closely secular and religious life became intertwined here.
