Admiralspalast

The Admiralspalast (German for admiral palace) is a theatre on Friedrichstraße in the Mitte district of Berlin, Germany.

It opened in 1910, built as part of a large leisure complex on the former site of the 1873 Admiralsgarten bath house.

As a place of amusement, the Admiralspalast originally included a skating rink, a public bath, bowling alleys, a café and a cinema open day and night.

After World War I it changed to a revue theatre, starting with the show Drunter und drüber by Walter Kollo, later continued by the performance of operettas.
