Gostner Hoftheater

Gostner Hoftheater is a theater venue in the Gostenhof district with two performance spaces of different sizes. The main hall accommodates around 80 spectators, while the Art Nouveau space can hold up to 300 people and also functions as a cinema and exhibition area.

The theater opened in 1979 in a former toy factory building and developed from a workshop-focused stage into a professional production venue within a decade. Today it stands as an established part of Nuremberg's cultural landscape.

The theater presents works by contemporary authors and modern adaptations of classics that visitors can experience in intimate surroundings. The venue shapes the artistic identity of the Gostenhof district and regularly draws artists and audiences.

The venue is easily accessible and centrally located in the Gostenhof district with good public transportation connections. The building has multiple areas for different event types, so visitors can choose between spaces depending on what is being presented.

The building emerged from a former toy factory and still retains the original industrial character in its spaces. This past gives the theater a distinctive spatial quality and links art production with industrial heritage.
