Burgtheater Bautzen, Theater and cultural heritage monument in Bautzen, Germany.
Burgtheater is a performance venue in Bautzen with large glass facades and 15 sandstone figures on its exterior walls, blending contemporary design with historical details. The building contains two halls with flexible seating, the main auditorium holding approximately 105 to 180 people and the smaller hall accommodating roughly 70 visitors.
The original building was constructed in 1840 and initially served as a storage facility. After extensive renovation in 2003, the former granary in the Ortenburg courtyard was transformed into a modern performance venue.
The theater hosts puppet shows, experimental performances, and amateur productions in its two adaptable halls. These events reflect the city's commitment to supporting local artistic activity and bringing communities together.
The theater is located in the Ortenburg courtyard, easily accessible from the old town where parking is available. The venue operates year-round and hosts performances on a rotating schedule.
A large panoramic window offers visitors views of the thousand-year-old old town and the Upper Lusatian mountains beyond it. This expansive window makes a visit an opportunity to see the city from a special vantage point.
