Landestheater Schwaben Memmingen

The elegant building in the neo-baroque dress of the theater gives no indication that the Elsbethen monastery used to be located on this site. Disbanded at the beginning of the Reformation, the buildings were used for other purposes, including as an armory. Converted into a theater at the beginning of the 19th century, a Memmingen ensemble from the State Theater of Swabia is active here, with another venue in the "Theater am Schweizerberg".

The Memmingen City Theater, also known as the Theaterstadel, is a municipal theater building in the Upper Swabian city of Memmingen. The building, which formerly belonged to the Augustinian monastery, has been used as a theater since 1802. Today it is the headquarters of the State Theater of Swabia.
The building is centrally located in the southern old town of Memmingen between the Weinmarkt and Schrannenplatz. In front of the building is the Theaterplatz, the building has the address Theaterplatz 4–6.
The building originally housed the St. Elisabeth nunnery. The Augustinian monastery outside the city of Memmingen arose from a community of women who had joined together according to the rule of the third order of St. Francis to care for the poor and the sick. The St. Elisabeth Monastery, first mentioned in 1258, was a simple but large gabled building in a north-south direction with a small monastery church (today's theater foyer) at right angles to it. Around 1380, the monastery was integrated into the city as part of the city's expansion. As part of the renovations and new buildings on the monastery church, the three-wing cloister with cross-ribbed vaults was built on the south side of the monastery church between 1472 and 1475. The vault keystone in the 3rd bay with the master stonemason's mark proves that the cloister was completed in 1475. The cloister can now be entered through the theater foyer. It contains frescoes by the artist Hans Strigel the Younger. The St. Elisabeth Monastery was the first Memmingen monastery to be secularized in 1529 as part of the Reformation. The monastery building became the property of the Lower Hospital and underwent various changes in use, probably with extensive structural changes. Initially, the imperial city's almshouse was located here, before the Latin school moved in in 1572. When this school closed after the mediatization of the imperial city of Memmingen in 1802, the former monastery building became a primary school ("Elsbethenschule"). The monastery church was converted into a tithe barn and residential building in 1610. After another renovation in 1620, the former monastery church was used as the imperial city's armory until 1802. In 1802, the "Dramatic Lovers' Society" acquired the building and built a theater in it, today's city theater. Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadttheater_Memmingen
