Memminger Marionettentheater
In the old town of Memmingen, a building that once served as a tavern now houses the Memminger Marionettentheater. The ensemble settled here in 2018, after earlier years as a travelling stage across the region. Inside, figures on strings play every part, for audiences young and old.
The repertoire centres on classic fairy tales, and full houses are a regular occurrence. Der Räuber Hotzenplotz, Hänsel & Gretel and Rotkäppchen anchor the programme. Families come for an evening together, a nostalgic escape from screens and everyday distractions.
No state or city subsidy flows into the theatre. Ticket sales alone cover the rent, the production costs and the upkeep of the house. The puppeteers volunteer beside their day jobs, bringing crafts from set design to puppet making. Together they turn every performance into a visual delight. Creativity reaches the stage too: in this telling of Rotkäppchen, the wolf has a vegetarian son.
