Theaters under public law ( KdöR ) or as GmbH are not referred to as state theaters in Germany if they are communal institutions, such as city theaters. The state theaters also fall into their own category.

The Nationaltheater Mannheim is a historical special case . It was founded by the Elector as a "standing stage" with a permanent ensemble in the succession of the courtly theater, so it was in state hands. But already in 1839 it was completely subordinated to the city's responsibility, making it the oldest municipal theater in the world today .

State theater - The constitution is only relevant for the contracts and remuneration of permanent or temporary employees of the technical or artistic house staff.
