The Renitenztheater is a cabaret stage in Stuttgart with 260 seats. Around 350 events take place every year and are attended by around 50,000 people. The majority of the events consist of guest performances by cabaret artists, comedians and chanson singers. In addition, a satirical play is produced by the Renitenztheater itself every year. In addition to the ChanSongFest, the cabaret festival with the cabaret competition for the “ Stuttgart broom ” and the “German-Turkish cabaret week”, it is one of the theater's annual highlights.
history
The Kleine Renitenz-Theater , as it was called at the beginning, was founded in 1961 as a commercial private theater by Gerhard Woyda (* 1925, † 2017). The game began on April 19, 1961 at Königstrasse 17 on Stuttgart's Schlossplatz. The opening program “Goethe, Girls and Garden Gnomes” was staged under the direction of Joachim Hackethal, Pit Krüger and Harald Müller, to which Woyda accompanied on the piano. In the following years a large number of nationally known artists appeared in the Renitenztheater, including Hana Hegerová , Georg Kreisler , Gert Fröbe , Robert Kreis , Mathias Richling , Helmut Qualtinger and Thomas Freitag .
Shortly after the 25th anniversary in 1986, the theater faced bankruptcy after a tax audit and the subsequent tax payment of 250,000 DM. The city of Stuttgart saved the Renitenztheater and transferred it to a non-profit association. In 1990 the house owners canceled the rental contract in Königstrasse, which led to a move to Eberhardstrasse 65 near the Tagblatt tower . On August 30, 1991 the theater was reopened in the new premises with 148 seats. In 1993 the Stuttgart Cabaret Festival took place for the first time, at which other locations were also played.
On September 30, 2010, the Renitenztheater said goodbye to Eberhardstrasse and reopened the next day at its new location at Büchsenstrasse 26 in the Stuttgart hospital district. The background to this was urban planning changes at the previous location. The new premises offer artists and the public significantly more space. The 220 m² auditorium has 260 seats (and thus over 100 seats more than in the Renitenztheater in Eberhardstrasse), the stage 75 m². The foyer of the theater represents a multifunctional area between theater and gastronomy. The most famous artists who have appeared in the Renitenztheater in recent years include Ottfried Fischer , Dieter Hildebrandt , Kurt Krömer , Désirée Nick , Georg Kreisler , Reiner Kröhnert , Sissi Perlinger and Hagen Rether .
For the 50th anniversary of the founding, the musical stage program “Satirists Are Not Lyricists”, written by Gerhard Woyda for the chansonnier Tim Fischer , premiered in September 2011 in the Renitenztheater , with which Fischer then went on tour, on which Woyda accompanied him on the piano.
structure
On the advisory board of the non-profit association Renitenztheater Stuttgart e. V., the majority of the cultural policy speakers for the city of Stuttgart sit. Since it is not a member association, the number of association members is small. In 2004 Sebastian Weingarten took over the management of Gerhard Woyda, who was retiring.
financing
The Renitenztheater currently generates around 65 percent of its budget itself. Since the association was founded in 1988, the Renitenztheater has been subsidized in the form of insufficient funding. The state of Baden-Württemberg and the city of Stuttgart support the theater in a ratio of 2: 1. The move to the new house in 2010 did not require any additional public funds or grants, but was made possible through cooperation with a company.
