The history of the theater in Heilbronn , known to us today, begins with the mention of the stock theater in the city garden in 1844. In 1912/1913 the old theater was built at the north end of the avenue / Berliner Platz , which was blown up in 1970. The current building of the Heilbronn City Theater was inaugurated in 1982 and expanded in 2001 to include the box theater in the neighboring "Theaterforum K3".

history

Stock theater

The Aktientheater was built in 1817 and a stage was added in 1844. It was the forerunner of the Harmonie concert and congress center . The Heilbronn theater also goes back to the stock theater.

Old Theater or "Fischer Theater"

The Stadttheater (also known as the Fischer Theater ) was built from 1911 to 1913 with funds from the city council according to plans by Theodor Fischer and was a theater from 1913 to 1944. The building survived the air raid on Heilbronn on December 4, 1944 largely undamaged, but after the war it was provisionally refurbished and no longer served as a theater, but for various other purposes before it was blown up on July 18, 1970.

City theater "Großes Haus" and "Kammerspiele"

The Heilbronn City Theater was built according to plans by the architects Gerhard Graubner, Rudolf Biste and Kurt Gerling and opened in 1982.

Theaterforum K3 "Komödienhaus"

On June 29, 2001, the theater received a third venue in addition to the already existing Great House and the Kammerspiele , the Komödienhaus with around 320 seats in the Theaterforum K3 extension . The Komödienhaus received a historicizing interior with boxes, which was created by the set designer Thomas Pekny . The box theater was also decorated with a ceiling painting by Alfred Bast .
