Once a riding hall, today the charming studio stage of Coburg’s State Theatre offers a diverse range of artistic performances with its own unique flair.
Built in 1852 by architect Georg Rothbart under Duke Ernst II, this historic ashlar sandstone building now houses a modern theatre with 99 seats. The separation between the audience and the stage is almost non-existent, fostering easy interaction and creating space for diverse and open theatre forms. Historically, the ducal riding hall was the meeting place for the German Gymnastics and Singing Association and the National Association – thanks to the politician and publicist Feodor Streit, symbolizing German liberalism and the democracy movement.
