Its present house was designed by the Viennese architecture office Fellner & Helmer, and completed in 1910.
At the end of the 18th century, the theatre was occasionally opened also for intellectuals, and military and civil officials.
In 1811, the wooden structure was rebuilt in stone, called now Altes Theater (Old Theatre).
When it deteriorated, a new house was designed by the Viennese architecture office Fellner & Helmer, who had already built the very similar theatres in Gießen and Gablonz, in 1906 and 1907.
Artists who received the prize and worked for this theatre have included Martin Kušej, Bernd Liepold-Mosser [de], Michael Maertens, Michael Schottenberg and Martin Zehetgruber [de].
