Gostner Hoftheater is a private theatre in Nuremberg's Gostenhof district, founded in 1979 and run by the association Gostner Hoftheater e. V. Its original house at Austraße 70 seats 82 spectators, and the LOFT theatre bar occupies the basement. Since 1998 the Art Nouveau Hubertussaal at Dianastraße 28 in Gibitzenhof, seating 250 to 300, has served as an external venue for large productions and guest performances.

The Gostner Hoftheater was founded in 1979 and opened as a "theater around the corner" in a converted toy factory at Austraße 70. Within a decade the stage, originally conceived as a workshop theater, was presenting its own productions with professional actors and directors. It is run by the association Gostner Hoftheater e.V. and has since established itself as Nuremberg's second major theater alongside the Staatstheater.

The theatre's youth programme includes the biennial festival licht.blicke., held since 2001, and the KulturRucksack, which lets middle-school pupils from disadvantaged districts visit four cultural institutions and four workshops in a school year. A youth club for ages 14 and up stages a play each year, and the Soul-Club uses theatre-pedagogical and behavioural techniques.

The main house at Austraße 70 seats 82 and is not wheelchair accessible. Larger productions and selected guest performances move to the Hubertussaal at Dianastraße 28 in Gibitzenhof, which holds 250 to 300 spectators and has been an external venue since 1998. The LOFT bar in the basement hosts music, cabaret and readings alongside exhibitions.

The Hubertussaal at Dianastraße 28 in Gibitzenhof, a 250–300 seat hall in Art Nouveau style, has served as the Gostner's second venue since 1998, hosting large productions, selected guest performances and concerts.
