Berliner Ensemble
The theater group "Berliner Ensemble" was founded by the famous German author Bertolt Brecht and his wife in 1949.
If you want to see Germany's best actors, you should visit the "Deutsches Theater". This German theater in Berlin has been famous for performing plays with famous actors since its foundation in 1883.
The Concert Hall at the Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin was built according to plans of the famous architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel in neo-classical style between 1818 and 1821.
Although the theater as well as the comedy at the Kurfürstendamm have quite a long history, the buildings where the "Komödie" and the "Theater am Kurfürstendamm" are located now don't look like this.

Since its opening in 1999, the "Theater am Potsdamer Platz" has not only become one of the major attractions of the Potsdamer Platz, but also one of the most popular musical theaters in Germany.
