The theater association Turm 20 - formerly Limbic 2000 - caused a stir two years ago with its performances in the botanical garden. Now the dedicated collective has succeeded in converting the vacant Maximilian Defense Tower 20 on the Pöstlingberg into a spectacular outdoor theatre. William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream premiered on July 21.

Tower 20 "Cäcilia - The Maximilian tower chain around Linz had a total of 32 towers. The fortifications were completed in 1832, but were soon abandoned for military purposes. The towers were sold and given over to civilian use.

Today's use as a summer theater - Today this tower belongs to the Diocese of Linz. The theater association Turm 20 has found its home there for two years and performs theater there in July and August.

During the First World War, Tower 9 was used as an ammunition and supply depot and is still known today as the “powder tower”.
