Friedrichstadt-Palast Event Space

Opened in 1984, the Friedrichstadt-Palast is Europe’s largest revue theater. It is located in Berlin’s trendy Mitte district.

The Friedrichstadt-Palast theater’s history dates back to 1919 when Weimar impresario Max Reinhardt opened the Grand Theatre. German expressionist architect Hans Poelzig designed the original building. During the Nazi period many of Poelzig’s original design elements were removed because they were seen as “degenerate art.”

Performances at the original Friedrichsdadt-Palast theater included Marlene Dietrich and Ella Fitzgerald in the 1920s. Today, events at the Friedrichsdadt-Palast theatre are mostly glitzy Vegas-style productions.

Recent long running shows at the Friedrichstadt-Palace theater have included Qi and Yma.

The capacity of the Friedrichstadt-Palast theater is close to 2000 people. The seats are laid out in the style of an amphitheater circling a 2,854-square-meter performing space, which means the Friedrichstadt-Palast theater has the largest stage in the world.
