Pre- and founding history

Already in the 60s of the 19th century "raftsmen and boatmen from Laufen under their leader Standel" gave guest performances in Berchtesgaden almost every year. Other theater groups, including Upper Bavarian farmers' theaters , also had Berchtesgaden on their tour schedule at that time .

The ensemble of the Berchtesgadener Bauerntheater was used as a front theater during the two world wars . Only in the years 1944 and 1945 was the theater completely stopped after the actors were drafted into the war. Under the patronage of Rudolf Kriss , the Berchtesgadener Bauerntheater resumed theater operations after the end of the war and in the meantime appointed the chairman of the United Christmas Shooters of the Berchtesgadener Land, Franz Kurz, as the new director.
