Prinzenraub — Open-Air Theatre Hartenstein Castle Ruins

Premiere 2025 — The Beginning of a Tradition

The premiere of the Prinzenraub spectacle in July 2025 was an ambitious project by the Friends of Hartenstein Castle Ruins Association: with over 100 amateur actors and a logistically complex production, the castle ruins were transformed into an open-air stage for the first time. The response from the region — around 1500 visitors, sold-out performances, positive press coverage in outlets like Freie Presse — led to the continuation of the project in 2026 with an expanded performance schedule.
