Künstlerhaus Mousonturm, Theatre in the Ostend district, Frankfurt, Germany
Künstlerhaus Mousonturm is a performing arts center housed in a converted soap factory building with a main theater hall, studio stages, rehearsal rooms, and resident artist apartments. The adapted industrial structure spreads across multiple floors and provides facilities for diverse types of performances and visual art shows.
The building originally served as the Mouson soap factory and was converted into an arts and theater venue in 1988. The factory dated to the early twentieth century and was part of the industrial activity that shaped the Ostend neighborhood at that time.
The space hosts performing artists and creators from around the world who produce and display their work here. When visiting live performances and exhibitions, you directly experience this international creative community at work.
The various performance spaces, rehearsal areas, and exhibition halls are distributed across different levels, with the building offering elevator access and ramps for wheelchair users. Visitors should allow extra time to find their way around, particularly when multiple events are scheduled simultaneously.
The name Mousonturm comes from the former soap factory that occupied the building, and this history remains embedded in the venue's identity today. Few visitors realize that the original factory chimney still stands as part of the skyline, making the industrial past visually present.
