The Stadttheater Ingolstadt is the theater of the city of Ingolstadt . It was built in 1964 according to plans by Hardt-Waltherr Hämer .
building
The first theater building was built in 1873 on the south side of Gouvernementsplatz (today Rathausplatz), the architect was Joseph Hanslmaier. The building was rebuilt from 1929 to 1930 and destroyed on April 9, 1945 in World War II. In the post-war period, a makeshift stage was set up in a tavern hall (Rappensberger Keller, Proviantstrasse). The first performance was on February 20, 1946. In 1959, the competition for a new theater building was advertised; the planning contract was awarded to the architects Hardt-Waltherr Hämer and Marie Brigitte Hämer- Office. The first groundbreaking was in December 1962, the structural work began on April 18, 1963, and the topping-out ceremony was celebrated on November 30, 1964. The building was opened on January 21, 1966 with a ceremony, the first performance was the Mozart opera Die Hochzeit des Figaro , a guest performance by the Bavarian State Opera in Munich . The polygonal fair-faced concrete building, whose formal language takes up both the medieval urban structure and the classicist fortress architecture, was awarded the first BDA Prize Bavaria in 1967, and a model was shown in the German pavilion at the world exhibition in Montreal (April 28 to October 27, 1967) .
In addition to the venues, the theater building houses a ballroom for up to 1,300 visitors, a restaurant and exhibition rooms.
The City Theater Ingolstadt was included in the list of architectural monuments of the city of Ingolstadt by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation . This process underlines once again the supra-regional importance of the building.
The operating permit for the building will expire in 2022 , so an alternative venue will be required for the period of refurbishment.

In addition to this large house with 663 seats, the Ingolstadt theater has four other smaller venues: the small house at the Baur tower , the open-air stage in the Baur tower , the studio in the Herzogskasten and the workshop in the main building (venue for the "Young Theater" division).
