Theater Schloss Maßbach

This private theatre, which also functions as a regional theatre, was founded in Franconia in 1946 by the Berlin acting couple Lena Hutter and Oskar Ballhaus. It has been located in Maßbach Castle since 1960. Michael Ballhaus, the founders' son, began his career here as a theatre photographer. The first children's plays by Paul Maar, the founders' son-in-law, premiered in Maßbach. Today, it is managed by Anne Maar, Paul Maar's daughter and herself an award-winning children's author.
