Haus an der Redoute, Cultural heritage theatre in Bad Godesberg, Germany
Haus an der Redoute is a theatre building with five window axes in classical style, standing on Kurfürstenallee near the historic Redoute. The interior spans multiple levels, with a compact audience chamber on the first floor that once hosted performances and basement areas later used for art exhibitions.
The building was constructed between 1790 and 1792 as a new theatre under the Prince-Bishopric of Mainz. It saw its active performance years during 1793 and 1794 before its use changed over time.
The building's name refers to the nearby Redoute, a fortified structure from the Prince-Bishopric era. Visitors can sense the classical architecture and its connection to the cultural past of the town today.
The building now houses the Bad Godesberg district administration and offers exhibition spaces for artists in the basement. Keep in mind that access to parts of the building may be limited since it functions as an active administrative site.
The original audience chamber was small and intimate, measuring only a few square meters on the first floor. This compact space shaped the early theatre experience and set it apart from the larger venues of other cities at the time.
