St. Pauli Theatre

In Hamburg's St. Pauli Theater, sophisticated performances take place every day, which fit perfectly into the rough surroundings of the Theaterhaus on the Reeperbahn.

The St. Pauli Theatre has stood on Spielbudenplatz since 1841, making it Hamburg's oldest private theatre. Its unique location in the heart of the entertainment district around the Reeperbahn and within walking distance of the harbour has always shaped its programme, which is appreciated by our Hamburg audience as well as visitors from near and far.

Intelligent entertainment of the highest standard, featuring the best actors, comedians and musicians, combined with a programme focus on Hamburg, make it unique in the Hamburg theatre scene. The plays are robust and popular without pandering to populism.

It is not only the oldest private theatre in the city, but also one of the oldest theatres in Germany. Today, the St. Pauli Theatre sees itself as a modern folk theatre that, with its own productions, co-productions and selected guest performances, constantly strives to explore how intelligent entertainment can be on this mile.

The St. Pauli Theatre also offers a varied programme for families: we regularly stage productions that bring stories to life for our young audience. With weekend performances and offers for schools and daycare centres, the traditional theatre on Spielbudenplatz is a lively cultural venue for young and old alike.
