Garmisch-Partenkirchen

Fritz Rohrbeck, director and founder of the Kleines Theater (English: Little Theater), felt drawn to the stage ever since he was a boy. After discovering the town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen he decided to start a theatre here, and thus the “Little Theatre” was born. The theatre is now in its 3rd generation; its productions regularly delight audiences with their care and attention to detail.
