Open-Air Theatre at the Müritz
The Müritz Saga is a theatre cycle that has been performed every summer since 2006 on the open-air stage in Waren am Mühlenberg. Waren (Müritz) is located in the Mecklenburg Lake District district on the shore of the Müritz, the largest lake entirely within Germany. The natural stage provides an atmospheric setting for the evening performances.
An Ongoing Story
Unlike a single play, the Müritz Saga tells a continuous saga: each season brings a new chapter that expands on the stories of the region and its people. The plays are written specifically for the Waren open-air stage and draw on historical subjects from Mecklenburg. Over the years, this creates a cohesive narrative arc that appeals to regular audiences as well as first-time visitors.
Large Ensemble and Elaborate Staging
With a large ensemble, historical costumes, and sophisticated stage technology, the Müritz Saga offers professional summer theatre. The performances last around two and a half hours, including an intermission, and take place over several weeks – usually Wednesdays to Saturdays in the evening and Sundays in the late afternoon.
Cultural Summer Highlight of the Region
For many families from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and for holidaymakers, attending the Müritz Saga is a firm part of the summer. The open-air theatre combines exciting entertainment with regional history and the unique atmosphere of a mild evening by the Müritz.
Müritz Saga — edition 2026
With »Zeit der Entscheidung«, the 2026 Müritz Saga continues its theatre cycle. The play is set during the Thirty Years' War, which devastated large parts of Mecklenburg. The election of a new Landmarschall is imminent – and the young Baroness Helena Hoffmann bravely throws her hat into the ring. The central question: Can a woman become Landmarschall, an office previously reserved solely for men?
Directed by Nils Düwell. The performances last around two and a half hours, including a twenty-minute intermission. Performances are held from Wednesday to Saturday at 7:30 PM and on Sundays at 5:00 PM.
