Herrenhausen Garden Theater

The historic Heckentheater in the Great Garden is still a unique open-air theater in the Great Garden and is used for theater and dance performances. The 300-year-old stage tapers towards the back and rises slightly, creating a perspective effect.

Gilded lead figures and yew pyramids mark the end of the hornbeam hedges, which serve both as a backdrop and as a dressing area. The planted linden trees and hedges on the stage are also striking. A total of 30 mythical figures adorn the stage and the audience area. The auditorium seats nearly 1,000 visitors.
