The Oranienburger Tor theatre district

October 4th, 2006

Theatre-lovers should make sure to take a trip to the area where Oranienburger Strasse merges with Friedrichstrasse, known as Oranienburger Tor. This area is famously regarded as Berlin’s most important theatre district, and it offers plenty of attractions to visitors. Home to theatres of all sizes, Oranienburger Tor is particularly famed for the opulent Friedrichstadtpalast, the well-respected Deutsches Theatre & Kamerspiele, and the world-renowned Berliner Ensemble. The latter was founded by Bertolt Brecht, who lived within walking distance of the Oranienburger Tor.
