History
In 1783, the theater opened on Palmaille "for the leisure of the citizens." It proved an ideal venue for character comedy and drama. After the war, it reopened on Königstraße in 1876. There, more and more contemporary works were staged, which was unusual at the time. In 1943, the building with the beautiful auditorium fell victim to the bombs of World War II.
Since 1954, the auditorium in the former Haus der Jugend (vocational school) on Museumstraße has been the new venue. The complex was built in 1928-30 to designs by Urban Planning Senator Gustav Oelsner. The Neues Bauen style reinforced concrete structure stands in deliberate contrast with the Altona City Hall and the Altona Museum.
