Theaterstadt Meiningen

In the 19th century, Meiningen revolutionised the history of theatre in Europe with its naturalistic performance methods. This is why the theatre city is considered the birthplace of modern director's theatre. This culture lives on to this day in the State Theatre and other venues. In addition, the theatre museum "Zauberwelt der Kulisse" shows the history of stagecraft in Meiningen. Meanwhile, visitors can experience the city's history in the Elisabethenburg and Landsberg castles.
