The Mannheim National Theater was founded in 1779 and is regarded as the oldest municipal theater in Germany. It gained fame in 1782 with the premiere of Friedrich Schiller's "The Robbers", which is why Mannheim is known as the city of Schiller. Today the four-division house brings opera, drama, ballet and children's and youth theater together under one roof. During the renovation of its main building, the theater also performs at alternative venues across the city. As a cultural institution, the National Theater has shaped Mannheim's stage life for over two centuries.
