Viewed from the Theaterplatz, the Schauspielhaus has disabled access through the left hand side of the main entrance. You can reach the Kammerspiele by taking the right hand entrance.
Hearing loops for guests with impaired hearing
Inductive hearing loops have been installed in the Schauspielhaus and the Kammerspiele in order to help guests with hearing aids understand our shows better.
Limitations: For those affected, in the Schauspielhaus we recommend seating in the stalls (except for row 11), because the gallery and the boxes aren’t equipped with an induction loop.
In the Kammerspiele we recommend not choosing these rows and seats due to limited reception: row 1, row 5 and row 6 as well as seats 184, 185, 186, 187, 208 and 209 in row 7.
