The theatre building at Kornhausplatz, which was completed in 1903, was in urgent need of renovation 30 years after its last renovation. The objectives of the renovation were to ensure operational and work safety, to carry out the necessary maintenance measures and to increase the attractiveness for the audience.

Articulation of the competition |
Three areas composed the overall project: Stage technology (yellow project), public areas (blue project), backstage (red project). Each of the three sub-projects resulted in different demands on the planning teams. The "red project" won by IB consisted mainly of the backstage area and the so-called "bulk wing".

Working Spaces and Dressing Rooms |
The backstage area contains, among other things, sewing rooms, a hat production room, an upholstery workshop and a prop store. The "Schüttetrakt", which was built in the 1960s, houses the various rehearsal rooms and dressing rooms. This complex sub-project also included the renovation of the building's technical installations, lifts, sanitary facilities, electrical and security installations.
