Theater im Marienbad, Youth theater in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany
Theater im Marienbad is a performance venue in Freiburg im Breisgau specializing in productions for children and young people. The ensemble consists of 13 members working across two performance spaces: a main hall with 250 seats and the Kesselhaus with 80 seats.
The venue was founded in 1989 by converting the former municipal baths of Freiburg into a theater space. This transformation gave the historic building a new cultural purpose and role in the city.
The theater presents productions with a focus on young audiences, creating shows in different styles that appeal to both children and adults. Visitors experience a mix of contemporary stagings and classic works that regularly appear on the schedule.
Visitors should explore both performance spaces, as each offers its own environment. Groups attending shows benefit from special preparation sessions and post-show discussions that provide deeper engagement with the performances.
The building was originally a bathhouse, and traces of this past remain visible in the architecture despite modern updates. This blend of historic structure and contemporary theater operations gives the space a distinctive character.
