The Imperial Theater in Hamburg St. Pauli is the only crime thriller theater in the city and has become an established institution in the cultural scene.

Hamburg's stage for suspense and thrills

The Imperial Theatre on the Reeperbahn is the largest crime theatre in Germany and a firm favourite for all fans of thrilling entertainment. Since its foundation in 1994, the theatre, which originally started out as a musical theatre, has developed into one of the top addresses for crime plays.

From crime classics to cult thrillers

Since 2002, the Imperial Theatre has dedicated itself entirely to the crime genre - with popular classics such as Agatha Christie's ‘The Mousetrap’, the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and ‘Arsenic and Lace’. The lavishly staged Edgar Wallace productions such as ‘The Indian Shroud’, ‘The Magician’ and ‘The Dead Eyes of London’ in particular attract an enthusiastic audience.

Anniversary highlights on the stage

The theatre celebrated its 25th anniversary with ‘M - Eine Stadt sucht einen Mörder’, a gripping stage adaptation of Fritz Lang's classic film. For the 30th anniversary, visitors can expect another highlight of horror literature with ‘Jekyll and Hyde’.

More than crime thrillers: a varied programme

In addition to thrilling crime plays, the Imperial Theatre also offers guest performances, comedy shows, improvisation theatre and concerts. A varied cultural programme that makes a visit to the theatre in Hamburg an unforgettable experience!

In Bergedorf a police station was moved in 1992. What remained was an old building, whose further use was up for discussion. Dedicated people with a healthy sense of community turned it into a cultural centre that has enriched the life of the district to this day.
