Fritz Rémond Theater, Private theater in Frankfurt, Germany

The Fritz Rémond Theater was a small private spoken-word theatre in the Zoogesellschaftshaus on the grounds of Frankfurt Zoo, which is why it was also called "Fritz Rémond Theater im Zoo". It closed with its last performance on 21 May 2023.

Fritz Rémond, an actor, founded the theater in 1947, shortly after the end of World War II, when stages across Frankfurt were reopening. It was among the first venues to bring back plays that had been banned during the Nazi years.

The theatre's name honours its founder Fritz Rémond, who ran it until his death in 1976, when the house was renamed after him. Its early programme staged plays suppressed or banned under the Nazis, opening with Strindberg's "Rausch". Curd Jürgens, Heinz Rühmann and Inge Meysel appeared on its stage, and Hans-Joachim Kulenkampff and Boy Gobert began their careers here.

The theater closed permanently after its final performance on 21 May 2023, when director Claus Helmer announced the closure for health reasons; he died on 3 September 2023. The building is the Zoogesellschaftshaus on the Frankfurt Zoo grounds, so visitors should not plan an evening there.

The theater still carries the name of its founder, which is relatively rare among German stages. Curd Jürgens and Heinz Rühmann, both later known as film actors, performed here in the early postwar years before their careers took off on screen.
