Lahnstein municipal stage
The Lahnstein Municipal Stage was opened in 1998. It is based in Nassau-Sporkenburger Hof in the Niederlahnstein district , a Märkerhof that was restored between 1992 and 1997 .
The building
The three-axis late Gothic building (core 14th century) has an octagonal stair tower with a pointed spire that protrudes over the gable roof. The upper floor is partly made of half-timbered houses. A new side wing with a glass central risalite is attached via a glazed gallery. At the back is a small garden with grapevines.
From 1527 onwards, the court was the residence of the Counts of Nassau-Sporkenburg for almost a century. These are descendants of the Counts of Helfenstein, who had their ancestral home on the Sporkenburg . The brothers Johann and Quirin von Nassau (Hofmeister in Trier, not related to the Nassau house ) had acquired the Helfenstein property in 1503. The last of this line, Heinrich von Nassau-Sporkenburg (Chorbishop of Dietkirchen ), died in 1601.
Together with two other buildings (Heimbachhaus and Wirtshaus an der Lahn ), the Nassau-Sporkenburger Hof is one of the last surviving medieval noble houses in Lahnstein.
Events
The Lahnstein Municipal Stage offers classical comedy, folk theater, Christmas fairy tales, small concerts, musicals, cabaret evenings, literary readings and temporary exhibitions by local and national artists. Approx. 7-10 pieces are on offer per season. There are also a few guest appearances.
The municipal stage also organizes the castle festival in front of the Johanniskirche in summer .
