The Kurtheater Bad Kissingen is a theatre in the spa town Bad Kissingen in Bavaria, Germany.
The theatre was built in 1904 by the Munich architect Max Littmann in the neo baroque style and inauguratet on 25 June 1905 with a performance of the opera Pagliacci of Ruggero Leoncavallo. The theatre with its 538 seats replaced an older wooden theatre building in swiss style of 1856.
The theatre was initially operated by the spa administration (Badkommissariat). The duty of the theatre was to entertain the visitors of the spa. The old theatre had no longer corresponded to the increased demands of the world bath. [1] From 1871 onwards, the theatre was rented to Eduard Reimann, director of the theatre of Würzburg,. [2] This made it possible to employ the ensemble of Würzburg during the summer months. After his death in 1898 his son, the actor Otto Reimann, became his successor. Otto Reimann continued his successful performance with his own ensemble in the new theatre. Despite the difficulties of the First World War, inflation, the global economic crisis, or the emergence of national socialism, the theatre business remained at a high level to entertain the spa guests. On the 9th of August, 1941, however, the now 71-year-old Otto Reimann ended his performance in Bad Kissingen with the operetta The Gypsy Baron. Afterwards during the Second World War the theatre was used only sporadically. In 1945 the theatre was confiscatet by the American troops. In 1949 the theatre restarted its operations. But the theatre did not get an own ensemble any more. Now it is dependent on guest performances. [3]
