The English Theatre of Hamburg

The English Theatre in Hamburg shows dramas, thrillers and comedies exclusively with British actors from London.

As the oldest professional English-language theatre in Germany, this award-winning international theatre in the heart of Hamburg offers a unique cultural experience in the original English language.

The English Theatre of Hamburg is a true gem in the German theatre landscape. Founded in 1976 by Clifford Dean and Robert Rumpf, it is now run by Paul Glaser in co-operation with Rumpf and Dean. With a diverse range of performances, visitors are offered exclusive theatre evenings with contemporary dramas, British and American classics, exciting thrillers and humorous comedies. Performed by high-calibre actors from London. There are also a number of special evenings on offer, when the stage is used for literary and musical programmes by invited guest artists.

The theatre, which is highly praised by critics and audiences alike, has even been described as a kind of London West End stage in Hamburg.

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Hamburg North

Hamburg North is a wonderful place to live. The city centre can be reached in no time, and there is plenty of nature nearby. Everything goes at a slightly slower pace here. But there are still many things to see and do.
