context: No heritage stage machinery ERHT Alpine route This building, dreamt up by the son of a spirits producer and designed by architect Max Littmann, is the last remaining theatre built in Jugendstil. In 2008(?) the design brief was to create a modern theatre with an up to date stage technology.
context: Its façade in neo-Gothic style contrasts with the discreet interior and floral motifs designed by Richard Riemerschmid, a three-dimensional art nouveau masterpiece. The layout as an intimate theatre is perfectly suited for small-scale plays. But the architect was also capable of designing a huge festival theatre like the Prinzregententheater, just a few streets away.
