FRITZ Theater, Entertainment venue in Bremen, Germany

The FRITZ Theater is an entertainment venue located in a basement at Herdentorsteinweg 39, where comedy shows, musicals, and concerts run throughout the year. The schedule changes regularly, offering audiences different forms of live entertainment in a single space.

The FRITZ Theater opened on 18 November 2010 in a former cinema at Herdentorsteinweg, the Filmstudio Atelier built in 1955 by architect Hans-Albert Schlemm. His son Thomas, also an architect, converted the cinema into a theatre using the original plans. The name honours Emil Fritz, founder of the Astoria cinema destroyed in the war. In 2012 the operating company Fritz Bremen GmbH received the Gründerpreis.

The theater hosts a variety of productions that shape the cultural life of the city. Visitors experience live comedy, musicals, and concerts that rotate regularly, giving insight into the local arts scene.

The lobby area offers refreshments such as currywurst that you can enjoy during the show. Making a reservation is recommended since seating is limited and performances often sell out quickly.

The theatre's motto, painted on the entrance area and the outer facade, reads "In Bremen geht man zum Lachen in den Keller" — in Bremen you go into the cellar to laugh. The hall is nine metres high and seats up to 410 people, 40 of them on a gallery.
