Association of theater communities
The Bund der Theatergemeinden e. V. is an umbrella organization or "the amalgamation of all 23 theater communities in Germany". Since July 2017 the TheaterGemeinde Hamburg has been the federal theater community that provides business.
history
The association was founded in 1951 in Frankfurt and is a successor to predecessor organizations such as the Bühnenvolksbund , which go back to around 1900. The first federal office was in Augsburg, later it moved to Bonn and then to Cologne. Today, it is mainly the large theater communities that take over the management of the business, and since July 2017 the TheaterGemeinde Hamburg .
Club goals
The federal government sees itself as a link between the individual theater communities and supports its members u. a. through advanced training. The federal government and the theater communities aim to promote cultural diversity in Germany and make theater accessible to all social, educational and age groups. The chairman of the board is Gerhard Bendt.
Theater talks
Since 1952 the federal government has been holding a conference with one of the theater communities under the title Theater Talks , at which cultural, political and artistic issues are the focus. Detailed documentation was published on each of the theater talks.
