Theater und Stadthalle, Opera house and multi-purpose hall in Greifswald, Germany.
The Theater und Stadthalle in Greifswald is a neoclassical complex built from 1913 to 1915 to plans by the Berlin architects Richard and Heinrich Iwan with Erich Trehde, at a cost of around 650,000 marks. The Stadthalle opened on 10 December 1914 and is joined to the Theater Vorpommern house next door. It holds two halls: the smaller Rubenowsaal, named after Heinrich Rubenow, and the Kaisersaal, restored to its historic model with 450 parquet seats and 150 more on the gallery.
The Stadthalle opened in 1914, while the theater building was inaugurated in 1915, establishing a cultural center for the city. The complex evolved into a major venue for regional cultural programming and continues to define the cultural landscape today.
The venue functions as a gathering place for theater productions, concerts, and events that shape the cultural life of the city. Visitors and locals come here to experience performances and connect with the community.
The Stadthalle stands in the Mühlenvorstadt district, at the south-eastern edge of the old town between Robert-Blum-Straße, Anklamer Straße and Platz der Freiheit, and can be reached on foot from the centre. Buses stop at Platz der Freiheit. The building is connected to the Theater Vorpommern next door, so check which hall — Kaisersaal or Rubenowsaal — hosts your event.
The building blends early 20th-century architecture with modern renovations completed in 2009. This combination allows visitors to experience historical craftsmanship alongside contemporary facilities.
