Landestheater Niederbayern is a theatre in Lower Bavaria, Germany founded in 1952. The theater does both musical theater and drama under the artistic director Stefan Tilch. It plays at the city theaters of Landshut and Passau, the Theater am Hagen in Straubing, and other regional theaters. Its orchestra is the Niederbayerische Philharmonie (English: Lower Bavarian Philharmonic Orchestra).
History
In 1952, the Landestheater Neiderbayern was founded under the name "Zweckverband Niederbayerisches Städtebundtheater." Shortly after the end of World War II, the theaters in Landshut, Passau, and Straubing had begun operating independently. As a result of currency reform, the three theaters closed due to financial difficulties in 1950. In February 1952, work was resumed within the framework of the Niederbayerisches Städtebundtheater, at the time still a loose association. The first program included five plays, six operas, and two operettas. In its first year, the theater did not have its own ensemble, so these first productions were cast exclusively with guests. In the same founding year, the current functional division was established, with the acting division being based in Landshut and the musical division in Passau.
On October 5, 1952, the "Zweckverband Niederbayerisches Städtebundtheater" was constituted under the artistic director Erik Wildhagen. Because they also played in venues in Upper Bavaria, they were renamed in 1953 by public law to "Südostbayerisches Städtetheater" (Southeast Bavarian Municipal Theater), the name the theater would bear for the next 55 years. In 1964, the district of Lower Bavaria joined the association. For financial reasons, the association was to be dissolved in 1968/69 at the suggestion of the Bavarian Supreme Audit Office, but the members of the association rejected this.
Because the number of non-Lower Bavarian venues steadily decreased over the years, the special-purpose association decided to change its name to Landestheater Niederbayern in 2008. The theater currently employs around 150 people, including 14 singers, 19 actors, and 42 orchestra musicians. The two departments in Landshut and Passau each have their own independent workshops, tailor shops, technical and administrative teams.
Lower Bavaria is one of the seven administrative regions of Bavaria, Germany, located in the east of the state.
Landshut is a town in Bavaria in the south-east of Germany. Situated on the banks of the River Isar, Landshut is the capital of Lower Bavaria, one of the seven administrative regions of the Free State of Bavaria. It is also the seat of the surrounding district, and has a population of more than 70,000. Landshut is the largest city in Lower Bavaria, followed by Passau and Straubing, and Eastern Bavaria's second biggest city.
Bavarians are an ethnographic group of Germans of the Bavaria region, a state within Germany. The group's dialect or speech is known as the Bavarian language, native to Altbayern, roughly the territory of the Electorate of Bavaria in the 17th century.
Bavaria-Straubing denotes the widely scattered territorial inheritance in the Wittelsbach house of Bavaria that were governed by independent dukes of Bavaria-Straubing between 1353 and 1432; a map (illustration) of these marches and outliers of the Holy Roman Empire, vividly demonstrates the fractionalisation of lands where primogeniture did not obtain. In 1349, after Emperor Louis IV's death, his sons divided Bavaria once again: Lower Bavaria passed to Stephan II, William and Albert. In 1353, Lower Bavaria was further partitioned into Bavaria-Landshut and Bavaria-Straubing: William and Albert received a part of the Lower Bavarian inheritance, with a capital in Straubing and rights to Hainaut and Holland. Thus the dukes of Bavaria-Straubing were also counts of Hainaut, counts of Holland, and of Zeeland.
The Landesliga Bayern-Mitte was the sixth tier of the German football league system in southern Bavaria. Until the introduction of the 3. Liga in 2008, it was the fifth tier of the league system, until the introduction of the Regionalligas in 1994 the fourth tier.
The Royal Bavarian Eastern Railway Company or Bavarian Ostbahn was founded in 1856. Within just two decades it built an extensive railway network in the eastern Bavarian provinces of Upper Palatinate (Oberpfalz) and Lower Bavaria (Niederbayern) that had previously been largely undisturbed by the railway. Much of this network is still important for local and long distance rail traffic operated by the Deutsche Bahn today.

The Mühldorf–Pilsting railway runs mainly through the province of Lower Bavaria in Germany, but part of the line crosses into Upper Bavaria as well. It was opened in 1875 by the Bavarian Eastern Railway Company as part of the route between Mühldorf and Plattling, and was taken over by the Royal Bavarian State Railways on 1 January 1876. Whilst the southern section of the route from Mühldorf to Neumarkt-Sankt Veit became an important regional transport link as a result of the branches to Landshut and Passau at Neumarkt-Sankt Veit, the remaining section of the line never achieved its expected significance. Since 1970 only goods trains have worked between Neumarkt-Sankt Veit and Frontenhausen-Marklkofen, the adjoining section to Pilsting was closed entirely in 1969.

The term Landesbühne or Landestheater is added to the name of some publicly owned theatre companies in Germany and Austria. These companies have a mandate to perform in areas without public theatres. Less than half of performances usually take place at the seat of a Landesbühne, thereby distinguishing them from the so called Stadttheater or Staatstheater. Legal control can lie with the respective Bundesland or a collaboration of several municipalities and local authorities. The spectrum of presented productions can be very diverse. The repertoire can include all or parts of the popular disciplines: play, musical theatre, ballet, and children's and youth theatre.
