State theaters in Berlin
Staatliche Schauspielbühnen Berlin is the former administrative name for the directorship of the Staatliche Bühnen Berlin .
Construction and operation
Her story is closely linked to the important artistic director Boleslaw Barlog , who immediately after the end of the war set up theater operations in improvised venues. Classics and plays from the 1930s and 1940s were performed in the undamaged buildings of the Schlosspark Theater in the Berlin district of Steglitz under the direction of Barlogs and the Hebbel Theater in Berlin-Kreuzberg under Karlheinz Martin .
In 1951, the rebuilt Schiller Theater in Charlottenburg was opened. Including the spatially connected experimental stage “Schiller Werkstatt”, it became the main venue with the Schlosspark Theater as a small house. The Hebbel Theater was leased to changing private directors or used as alternative quarters.
Boleslaw Barlog as director (since 1951) was followed by Hans Lietzau in 1972 , Boy Gobert in 1980 , Heribert Sasse in 1985 and finally Alfred Kirchner in 1990 with Alexander Lang , Vera Sturm and Volkmar Clauß.
In 1993 the State Drama Theaters were closed by a decision of the Berlin Senate due to the city's financial hardship. The last performance in the Schiller Theater was the premiere of the play Weißalles und Dickedumm by Coline Serreau with Katharina Thalbach . All permanently committed employees and artists (including Bernhard Minetti , Erich Schellow and Sabine Sinjen ) were fired.
The closure of the largest German speaking stage sparked protests and bitterness and earned Ulrich Roloff-Momin, then Senator for Culture, the reputation of "Schiller-Killer". After that it was used as a musical and guest theater. From January to October 2000, the Maxim-Gorki-Theater used the stage of the Schiller Theater .

After the closure
In the former East Berlin located Theater Deutsches Theater , Volksbühne Berlin and Maxim Gorki Theater remained intact even after the turn as state theaters. The Theater am Schiffbauerdamm , the venue of the Berliner Ensemble , was acquired by the Ilse Holzapfel Foundation, whose founder is Rolf Hochhuth , and leased to the Senate of Berlin .
The Schlosspark Theater was reopened in the spring of 1995 as a private theater under the direction of Heribert Sasse, the Schiller Theater on January 1, 1996 as a musical and guest theater. Since 2010, the Schillertheater has been an alternative venue for the Unter den Linden State Opera for the duration of the renovation work on the Unter den Linden opera building . The Schiller workshop is hosted by the Grips Theater and the Theater an der Parkaue .
The opera houses in Berlin have been on the way of privatization since 2004 via the Opera Foundation. Since 2006, the Senate Chancellery is no longer responsible for cultural affairs. The governing mayor is therefore in fact also a senator for culture, but does not use this designation and is usually represented in this function by his state secretary for cultural affairs.
