The origin of the Friedrichstadt-Palast goes back to a market hall, which was on Schiffbauerdamm, roughly 200 meters southwest of the present-day location. However, the history of the venue as a theatre for staging plays and performance acts began when the Großes Schauspielhaus was opened by Max Reinhardt on 29 November 1919.

During the Nazi period, the theatre was called Theater des Volkes and became a hub for late-bourgeois operettas. In 1945, it suffered severely due to air attacks and was eventually abandoned by the owners in 1949. Following this, the city of Berlin took over Friedrichstadt-Palast.

In 1980, the building was closed off after inspection because of severe damage. On 27 April 1984, the new Friedrichstadt-Palast building was opened and the old building was demolished. Now, it is one of the most well-known performance venues in the world. Get your Friedrichstadt-Palast tickets and become part of this illustrious history!
