Theatre Tradition from the Village
The 'Vorhang auf' theatre association was founded in Greußenheim in 2010. As early as 2012, the association brought its first major historical open-air play with around 80 amateur actors – all from Greußenheim – to the stage, repeating the success in 2017. Since then, the association has performed a new historical play every two years in July/August.
The Legacy of Gruzen
For 2026, Heike Wörner has written the historical play 'Das Erbe von Gruzen'. The play tells a gripping story about power, guilt, and hope, transporting the audience into the world of 'Gruzen' – a theatrical exploration of the local history. The production is driven by the voluntary commitment of numerous participants from the village.
Venue: Forest Stage
Performances take place on the forest stage at the Greußenheim sports field, an atmospheric open-air venue. The evening performances under the open sky lend a special atmosphere to the historical subject matter and make each performance a community experience for participants and the audience.
Greußenheim in the Würzburg District
Greußenheim is located in the Würzburg district in the Free State of Bavaria, in the western Franconian part of Würzburg. The open-air theatre is known far beyond the municipal boundaries and is an outstanding example of vibrant amateur theatre culture and local heritage preservation in Lower Franconia.
