Theater im Bauturm

Theater im Bauturm is a performance space in a historical building in central Cologne, where up to 120 spectators can watch shows. The venue sits within a courtyard and offers an intimate space for different types of productions.

The venue was founded in 1983 and developed into a space for experimental theater productions. It has focused on new interpretations of classical works alongside contemporary performances.

The intimate size of the space brings actors and audience members close together, creating a direct connection that shapes every performance. This proximity gives each show a personal quality that larger venues cannot achieve.

The venue is accessible by public transport and located near Rudolfplatz in the city center. Visitors should allow time to explore the historical passages and courtyards when arriving.

Each December, the window facing the courtyard transforms into a living advent calendar with short daily performances. Passersby can watch these shows from outside, offering a different kind of theater experience.
