History

After the cultural needs of the citizens was satisfied since the mid-18th century by theater guest performances to ever-changing venues, began a master carpenter Hermann Peter Wilhelm Muck on the initiative of the court councilor Carl Christian Ludwig Starklof the construction of a wooden structure built as a theater. The building was close to the theater today and was financed with private money.

Beginning in 1842, it received the recognition by the monarch and was called Grand Ducal Court Theatre. On the grounds between Theaterwall and moat of the court architect Gerhard Schnitger completed the Grand Ducal residence theater, held in the Italian Renaissance style building. However, due to a fire, probably caused by fireworks in the interior, it burned down in November 1891. The rebuilt in neo-Baroque style theater was opened in 1893, expanded by a dome and additional workshop building. In November 1918, the last Grand Duke abdicated and the theater was renamed the following year in Oldenburg State Theatre. Since the acquisition of the building by the State of Oldenburg in the wake of financial equalization between countries and communities in 1938 entitled Oldenburgisches State Theatre.

The building was copied by the German Theater Göttingen.
