Theater at the Parkaue

Berlin, Germany

The THEATER AT THE PARKAUE in Berlin is one of the largest state theaters for young audiences in Germany. It is aimed at children from the age of 4, school classes, teenagers and young adults. Since 1950, it has offered a wide range of themes from classics and world premieres to experimental forms and newly interpreted myths and fairy tales. Around 90 employees work on artistic experience spaces for people of all ages.

From school building to cultural center

in 1911, the Z-shaped building was constructed as a secondary school for boys according to the designs of city planning officer Johannes Uhlig and architect Wilhelm Griem. After the Second World War, it became the "House of Culture of the Soviet Union, Children's Branch" and later the "House of Pioneers". in 2005, it became the THEATER AT THE PARKAUE, a center for artistic diversity. It was extensively renovated between 2014 and 2023. The final construction phase began in June 2021. During the pandemic, the theater opened its doors digitally and is now a place for creative encounters.

Theater at the Parkaue - Young State Theater Berlin sees itself as a theater for everyone who is enthusiastic about the perspectives of young people, because they will shape the future of us all.

The Theater at the Parkaue and BIM Berliner Immobilienmanagement GmbH – both based in Berlin – were the clients for these extensive renovation measures. KNO Engineering GmbH from Cottbus was responsible for the general planning. One structural challenge was the careful sealing of penetrations in a sprinkler tank against pressing water. For this purpose, DOYMA supplied the Curaflex® 7006 flange plates with sleeve and fixed/loose flange, which are sanded for thick coating, via Bär & Ollenroth KG from Berlin. In addition, Curaflex® C sealing inserts were used to ensure effective sealing against pressing water. The products were installed by the construction company eb2 Brandschutzanlagen GmbH from Berlin.
