Hoftheater Dresden, Community theater in Weißig district, Dresden, Germany.

Hoftheater Dresden is a theater venue housed in a converted barn building on a historical three-sided farm in the Weißig district. The structure preserves its original agricultural architecture while regularly hosting theatrical performances and musical events.

The venue was established in 1995 when German actor Rolf Hoppe converted a historical barn into a performance space. This transformation gave new purpose to an old agricultural structure while preserving its original architectural character.

The name plays on the German word Hof, meaning both farmyard and court: Rolf Hoppe chose it to recall the site's former agricultural use as an LPG collective farm and Dresden's court theatre tradition. Since autumn 2003, events have also been staged on a plank stage in the vaulted former cow shed, and the courtyard serves as a summer venue in good weather.

The theatre is in the Weißig district on the outskirts of Dresden, in a converted farm with a courtyard used for open-air performances in summer. The former cowshed vault and the foyer between it and the barn stage host events and art exhibitions. The hall seats 99, and a heating system installed in 2004 allows performances in any season.

Rolf Hoppe chose the name deliberately for its double meaning: "Hof" refers both to the farmyard of the former agricultural cooperative and to Dresden's court theatre tradition. The site between the cow-stable vault and the barn was rebuilt as a foyer used for art exhibitions.
