First theatre on the site built in 1801. Rebuilt 1833 as Comedihütte. Major rebuilding in multiple stages in the 1950-1970s, with the 19th-century rotating coulisses re-installed in their original state. 500 seats. - Used for an annual summer season of Ritterschauspiele der Theatergesellschaft Kiefersfelden, i. e. amateur productions of early 19th-century knight plays, mostly written by Josef Georg Schmalz (1804-1845, popularly known as Bauernshakespeare, the peasants' Shakespeare). Theatre history of sacred plays and passion plays in Kiefersfelden can be traced back to the 16th century, while its now unique amateur theatre tradition of knight plays dates back to the 1810s when such plays were popular throughout the German-speaking countries.
