Altonaer Theater

The private theater adapts literary works for the stagbe, from classics and international bestsellers to young German literature and more.

Past productions include Anna Karenina, Steppenwolf, Measuring the World, and The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared.

In 1943, the building with the beautiful auditorium fell victim to the bombs of World War II.

Since 1954, the auditorium in the former Haus der Jugend (vocational school) on Museumstraße has been the new venue.

The complex was built in 1928–30 to designs by Urban Planning Senator Gustav Oelsner.
