Das Schauspielhaus: Bochum's Great Stage.
There's no doubt about it. The Bochum Playhouse is the theatre house with one of the foremost reputations anywhere in Germany and it's certainly known far beyond the country's borders. The big names such as Saladin Schmitt, Hans Schalla, Peter Zadek, Claus Peymann, Frank-Patrick Steckel and Leander Haussmann have followed the call of the playhouse since it was founded in 1919 – and always did justice to its great reputation: outstanding ensembles and exhilarating performances. To put it briefly, compelling theatre arts impressed audiences in the Königsallee yesterday and continue to dazzle them today. Matthias Hartmann is the widely respected director of the famous Bochum Playhouse who has been embodying this tradition since the 2000/2001 season.
