The Theater am Alten Markt is the second venue of Theater Bielefeld and is located in a historic building directly on the medieval Old Market in the heart of the East Westphalian city. As a studio and drama stage, it complements the large city theatre and offers space for experimental productions, chamber plays, and contemporary drama in a more intimate setting. The location on the historic market square, surrounded by townhouses and St Nicholas's Church, lends the house a special atmosphere in which the city's history is immediately palpable. With its focused programme, the Theater am Alten Markt addresses an audience that values close proximity to the stage and the venture of new theatrical forms, enriching the Bielefeld theatre landscape with a distinctive venue.
The Old Market was Bielefeld's commercial centre for centuries — today the experimental counterpart to the main house performs within the same historic ensemble.
