Darmstadt State Theatre (Staatstheater Darmstadt)
Three-branch state theatre in a concrete and glass complex from 1972
The story
The company had no building of its own for nearly thirty years. After the old court theatre burned in September 1944 the ensemble performed in improvised venues around Darmstadt until the present house opened in 1972. The architects glazed the foyers so the building would light up over the square at dusk, a deliberate signal that what happens on these stages belongs to the whole city.
