Volksbühne

Founded in 1890 through the workers' theater movement, the current building on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz was built between 1913 and 1914 by architect Oskar Kaufmann, damaged in World War II, and rebuilt in the 1950s. Known for experimental, political, and boundary-pushing productions under influential directors like Max Reinhardt, Erwin Piscator, Frank Castorf (1992–2017), and René Pollesch (2021–2024).
