Theaterhochschule Leipzig

The Theaterhochschule Leipzig was a theatre school in Leipzig, Saxony, Germany, which existed from 1953 to 1992. The official name was Theaterhochschule "Hans Otto" Leipzig.

The Theaterhochschule Leipzig was founded on 1 November 1953 as a merger of two institutions, the Deutsches Theater-Institut () in Weimar and the Theaterschule Leipzig. From the late 1960s, Bertolt Brecht was a teacher. In 1967 it was named after the actor Hans Otto () whom the Nazis had murdered in 1933. The Hochschule was located at the Villa Sieskind in the Musikviertel () and buildings in the neighbourhood.

The institution was dissolved per the Sächsisches Hochschulstrukturgesetz on 10 April 1992. The acting department became a faculty of the Hochschule für Musik und Theater "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy", while theatre studies formed a new institute of the Leipzig University.
