Freiburg Theatre, sometimes also referred to as Stadttheater Freiburg (Freiburg City Theatre), formerly Städtische Bühnen (urban stages) Freiburg, is the oldest and biggest theatre in Freiburg im Breisgau. It is located in Bertoldstraße, on the edge of Freiburg's historic city centre and unites four venues under one roof: The Große Haus (main stage), the Kleine Haus (small stage), the Kammerbühne (chamber stage) and the Werkraum (workshop). The Winterer Foyer additionally hosts author readings, such as the Litera-Tour, chambermusic concerts and evening lectures on current affairs, like the Dream School series. Since September 2005 the theatre has been under independent ownership.
Up until the first decades of the 19th century the theatre performances in Freiburg were mainly staged in the Granary on the Münsterplatz, which later proved to be increasingly unsuitable for a “modern“ theatre. Thus it was decided to use the church of the abandoned monastery of the Augustinian hermits as the theatre. The architect Christoph Arnold was instructed to redesign the building accordingly. In 1823 the theatre was opened and the actors could return to the stage. In 1866 the “Privileged Theatre“ was taken over by the town following a decision by the district council. The first season of the current “Städtische Theater“ opened with Lessing's Emilia Galotti.
