Berliner Ensemble - Mitte

Bertolt-Brecht-Platz 1, 10117 Berlin-Mitte

The Berlin Ensemble was founded by Bertolt Brecht and his wife Helene Weigel in 1949 and moved in 1954 to the Theatre at the Schiffbauerdamm, where a theatre was housed already since in 1892. It was already famous through the premiere of Gerhard Hauptmann's "The Weaver" and Brecht/Weils "The Threepenny Opera". After Brecht's death in 1956 Helene Weigel managed the house until her death in 1976. It awakened to new life after the unification, when dramatist Heiner Müller took to the theatre. Now Claus Peymann promises as director of the Berlin Ensemble to revive it to metropolis size. Great high-class theatre.
