National Theatre of Strasbourg

The TNS was originally built to house the legislative assembly of the regional parliament of Alsace-Lorraine, after the area came under German control with the Treaty of Frankfurt (1871).

On 25 September 1944, the east wing of the building that contained the Chamber of the Assembly was destroyed by American bombing.

[2] In 1995, the façade, roofing, and the entrance on Place de la République were classified as a Monument historique.

[3] In 1922, the Conservatory of Strasbourg (founded in 1855, the same year as the Orchestre philharmonique) was moved into the upper part of the building and several teaching rooms were built in as well as a concert hall.

Two other theater rooms (120 and 250 seats, respectively) used by the TNS are located in Espace Klaus Michael Grüber in rue Jacques Kablé.
