Theater

Small but nice is the motto of the Rothenburg Toppler Theater, this unique open-air stage in the north courtyard of the former Dominican convent and today's RothenburgMuseum. A summer stage that Shakespeare would have enjoyed - beautifully located in the heart of the historic old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. With historic stair railings, a playable city wall and four entrances and exits into the picturesque monastery courtyard, the natural stage is a real eye-catcher. The picturesque audience room, nestled against one of the oldest sections of the Rothenburg city wall, can accommodate up to 142 people and experience culture up close.

The two main pieces of each summer season are in-house productions, which are complemented by a colorful program of various guest performances.

The Toppler Theater's next summer season will take place from June 19th to August 31st, 2024.

All information about the plays on offer and specific performance dates can be found on the Toppler Theater website at: http://www.toppler-theater.de/

Play club - the stage for your ideas

Playing theater together is fun, strengthens self-confidence and allows us to discover facets of our personality that are often not encouraged or challenged in everyday life.

Since 2015, the Toppler Theater has offered theater educational formats for Rothenburg and the surrounding area. The play club offers the space to discover your own artistic expression, to experiment with story ideas and to bring them to the stage. Cultural education to touch, try out and grow beyond yourself.

The Toppler Theater play clubs take place weekly from October to July. The participants play, rehearse, experiment and conquer the world of theater. Vocal training, piece development, improvisation, role development, facial expressions, gestures, pantomime: the players encounter all of this and much more in rehearsals week after week.

The historical festival “Der Meistertrunk” takes place in Rothenburg ob der Tauber throughout the entire old town. The main venues are the festival meadow and the imperial hall. Immerse yourself in days gone by: Every year on the Pentecost weekend, the festival takes up the episode from the Thirty Years' War, when the city was conquered by General Tilly's troops and was only saved from destruction by former mayor Nusch. Nusch is said to have emptied 30 3/1 liters at a time, thereby impressing the enemy general. The story is re-enacted by historical groups throughout the old town and in particular in the play in the Kaisersaal, which is performed several times. The performances in the Imperial Hall also take place every year during the Imperial City Festival in September.

The festival has been on UNESCO's German list of intangible cultural heritage since 2014.
