Theater Waidspeicher, Puppet theater in medieval Altstadt, Erfurt, Germany
The Theater Waidspeicher occupies a renovated 16th-century warehouse building with a main hall that accommodates 142 spectators in the center of Erfurt.
Originally constructed between 1540 and 1560, the building served as a storage facility for woad, a plant used in textile dyeing that brought prosperity to Erfurt.
The theater presents over 300 performances annually, ranging from fairy tales and modern narratives to literary classics, with productions for children and evening shows for adults.
The venue maintains an in-house workshop where craftspeople create puppets, stage designs, and costumes for their diverse range of performances.
The theater ensemble has performed internationally across Europe, North America, Taiwan, and Israel, receiving multiple festival awards for their productions.
