German Theater Traditional Cache

The German State Theatre Timișoara(German: Deutsches Staatstheater Temeswar) is a publicly funded German-language theatre company in Timișoara, Romania, where a German-language theatre was first mentioned in 1753. The new theatre opened in 1875, but closed again in 1899 as a result of increasing Magyarization in the then Kingdom of Hungary. The ceremonial reopening of the German State Theatre Timișoara took place on 27 June 1953. The German State Theatre is located in the right wing of the Palace of Culture (former Redouta ballroom) with entrance from Alba Iulia Street. It has a 100-seat theatre hall that it shares with the Hungarian State Theatre.
