From 1865, the Belle Alliance Theater in Berlin's Belle Alliance Strasse 7–8 was created by converting a restaurant with a dance hall on behalf of August Wolf, a former actor. The venue opened on October 9, 1869 and offered space for 1,000 spectators. The theater, to which a large summer garden belonged, became an important place of drama in the new Reich capital and was staged, among other things, with performances by the Neue Freie Volksbühne . In 1887, theater director Hermann Bruckhoff and the writer Hermann Sternheim took over the house, which in the following years was also known for guest performances by the southern German folk theaters.

Georg Büchner's play Dantons Tod was premiered here on January 5, 1902 . Previously, Henrik Ibsen's two dramas, Die Stützen der Gesellschaft and Komödie der Liebe, had their German premieres here in 1878 and 1896 .
