History with heart: the history of the Deutsches Theater München

The Deutsches Theater München was opened in 1896 and quickly developed into one of the most important stages for variety, revue and later musicals in Munich. Even in the early years, the theater was known for its magnificent architecture and social events. In the 1920s and 1930s, under the direction of Hans Gruss and later Paul Wolz, the Deutsches Theater was a center for great shows, operettas and international artists. During the Second World War, the building was badly damaged by bombing in 1943 and could not be reopened until 1951. After further renovations, particularly extensive from 2008 to 2013, the Deutsches Theater is now a modern guest performance venue with around 1,500 seats. It is known for its top-class musical productions, international shows and as Munich's largest ballroom during the carnival season.
