Guided Story

Take a moment to absorb the grandeur of the theater's facade. Did you know that this place once featured one of the first air conditioning systems in Germany? Martin Dülfer, the architect, was truly ahead of his time. Imagine the early 20th-century audience stepping into a refreshingly cool auditorium, escaping the sweltering summer heat outside. As you look up, notice the intricate decorations, each with its own story to tell from a bygone era. Just behind you, you’ll find the Dortmund Opera House, which often gets overshadowed by this theater but also holds a rich history. Visiting here is not just a trip to the past, it's a sensory experience.
