ABSTRACT
hildegard’s schiffbauerdammtheater was one of the thirty or so stages on which the plays and musicals of Berlin’s Golden Twenties were produced. Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill’s Dreigroschenoper had had its world premiere in that very theater in 1928. Like the Admiralspalast, the Schiffbauerdamm Theater was one of the few halls that had survived the destruction of the city, and was one of the first in which Berlin theater was revived within a few weeks of VE Day.
