Theater am Turm, Municipal theater near Eschenheimer Turm, Frankfurt, Germany.
Theater am Turm was a theater venue in Frankfurt located in a former educational building near Eschenheimer Turm, hosting performances by independent theater groups. The space became known for showcasing experimental productions and works from international companies.
The venue was founded in 1953 as Landesbühne Rhein-Main and went through several transformations over the decades. It permanently closed in 2004 when municipal funding was cut.
The venue gained recognition for hosting Peter Handke's groundbreaking performance 'Publikumsbeschimpfung' in 1966, which sparked significant audience reactions and discussions.
The venue was originally located at Eschenheimer Tor and moved to Bockenheimer Depot in 1995. Visitors could experience an experimental program that differed significantly from conventional theater offerings.
In the 1970s, the theater offered Marxism courses and Tai-Chi classes alongside performances. This wide-ranging cultural program made it more than just a conventional playhouse.
