Grenzlandtheater

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

During the National Socialist era, Grenzlandtheater was the name for theaters that were specifically built in cities near the imperial borders at the time , or that were simply renamed to such theaters - possibly after more or less intensive renovation or renovation measures. In Saarbrücken, the city had to cover a large part of the construction costs, even though the newly built Grenzlandtheater there was dubbed a "gift from the Führer" by Nazi propaganda .

The " Grenzlandtheater Aachen " (originally a room theater ) was only founded in 1950 by the actor Kurt Sieder and only got its name in 1962. Despite its name, it has nothing to do with the naming of theaters during the Nazi era.
