The open-air stage is situated in a charming forest atmosphere on the idyllic glacis of the Citadel. Founded in 1921 by theater manager Otto de Nolte, the open-air stage has a long and eventful history .

To reach the open-air stage, keep right before the bridge to the Citadel, and follow the forest path along the moat for about 200 m. The open-air stage has room for 600 spectators – about 200 seats are covered and the remaining 400 are in the open air. Our Summers of Culture (Kultursommer, from June to September) include concerts, readings, cabaret, poetry slams, magic shows, and comedy, as well as an extensive program of children’s theater and music for day-care groups, school classes, and families.
