Theater am Aegi

Theater am Aegi is a performance venue with contemporary architecture located at Aegidientorplatz in Hannover's Mitte district. The building contains flexible stage facilities and technical infrastructure to support various types of theatrical productions.

The building originally opened as a cinema in 1953 and underwent major reconstruction following a fire in 1964. It reopened in 1967 as a dedicated theater and has since become a primary stage for dramatic performances in the region.

The venue hosts musicals, cabaret acts, comedies, and dance shows that bring together diverse audiences from across Hannover. Visitors experience a mix of theatrical traditions and contemporary productions throughout the year.

The theater sits centrally at Aegidientorplatz and is easy to access by public transport from around the city. Different events require varying arrival times, so checking the program in advance helps plan your visit effectively.

Since 2010 the theater has served as the home venue for Theater fur Niedersachsen, creating a dedicated space for this company's productions. This long-term partnership has made it a reliable anchor point for the region's theatrical work.
