Deutsches Theater Göttingen

The Deutsches Theater (DT) is a playhouse in Göttingen, built in 1890. It is the largest theater in Göttingen. After the major fire at the old city theater on the Neuer Markt, today's Wilhelmsplatz, on the night of January 10-11, 1887, the citizens of Göttingen agreed on the need for a new, dignified theater building. On July 18, 1887, the city council decided to build the theater between the Royal Gymnasium (today's Max Planck Gymnasium) and the Göttingen Wallanlagen in the eastern district. Fears (which reached the district president and the minister of culture) that the theater's proximity would pose a moral threat to the students of the Gymnasium proved to be unfounded. The theater was built in 1889 and 1890 as a replica of the Oldenburg Grand Ducal Court Theater by architect Nierenheim, based on the plans of the Oldenburg court architect Gerhard Schnitger, as a stone building in the Neo-Renaissance style.

Between 1958 and 1963, Götz George, who later became nationally known as the crime scene detective "Schimanski," played at the DT.

A very beautiful theater building, located directly on the Promenadenwall.

There are some art objects in front of the theater.
