History[]

The Kulturinsel Halle was built between 1980 and 2002, starting from the old Kino der Deutsch-Sowjetischen Freundschaft (Cinema of German-Soviet Friendship), a whole block of eight buildings was converted and expanded into a cultural venue. It was shaped by the long-time artistic director Peter Sodann, who found a venue here in the cinema for his ensemble at the time.[2] In 1999, Peter Sodann received the prize of the Association of German Critics for the project "Kulturinsel".[3]

There was already a Neues Theater in Halle before that, founded in 1870. After a fire in 1902, it was run by  [de] until 1912, after which it was a warehouse.[4]

Current situation[]

Since the closure of the  [de] in 2012, its continuing ensemble is also based on the Kulturinsel. The artistic directors within the Theater, Oper und Orchester GmbH Halle are Matthias Brenner (schauspiel halle and Thalia Theater) and  [de] (Puppet Theatre Halle).
