Open Air Theatre Schwäbisch Hall

The open-air theater, founded in 1925, on the steps of St. Michael and in the Haller Globe Theater (since the 2000 season), is one of the city's trademarks. Great classical works from Shakespeare to Schiller, as well as thrilling musical theater productions with an excellent professional ensemble, make up the special program diversity. Over 60,000 visitors come from near and far every summer to enjoy this special theatrical experience. Not to mention the family theater and the supporting events. The open-air theater has been setting accents since 2003 with the highly regarded productions of the youth club and the biennial International Youth Theater Festival. A milestone: In March 2019, the New Globe Theater was inaugurated, which can be used as a year-round stage.
The open-air theater also offers a varied "winter program" in the New Globe Theater with theater, dance, music, and new formats outside of the festival season from fall to spring. External event organizers can rent the attractive 370-seat stage for guest performances.

Faust Festival in Klumpertal

"The Blacksmith of Pottenstein" is a large, exciting adventure filled with battles, intrigue, and drama. At the same time, it's also a cheerful comedy. For the three brave fighters of the Pottenstein Citizen Guard, Sergeant Holzapfel, Siegbert Sandstrand, and Constable Peter Pottenstein, known from the "Pottenstein Devil's Pact," boldly intervene in the events. That’s when things really get going and the feathers get ruffled! An evening full of suspense and drama is guaranteed! But it's also a lot of crazy fun!

And only in 2026, the anniversary year of the club, will the festival perform the play. Leistner's dramatic and comedic play contains a bit of Shakespeare, elements of the original Pottenstein folk legend, and motifs from the play "The Blacksmith of Pottenstein" by F. Max Näbe, and guarantees a full and overwhelming theatrical evening. Venue Klumpertal/Schüttersmühle.
