About Störtebeker from Breege

The Störtebeker Festival at the Naturbühne Ralswiek is one of Europe's largest open-air theatre productions. Since 1993, the story of the likedeeler Klaus Störtebeker and the Vitalienbrüder has been performed summer after summer — with over 150 participants, 4 ships, 30 horses, special effects, and a fireworks display over the Großer Jasmunder Bodden. From Breege harbour on Wittow, a shuttle boat travels directly to the Naturbühne — arguably the most stylish way to arrive at the spectacle: a two-hour boat trip across the Bodden before the curtain rises.

Over 30 Years of Theatre on the Bodden

The Störtebeker Festival in Ralswiek was founded in 1993 and has since become one of Europe's most visited open-air theatres: over 9 million visitors in more than 30 seasons. On the magnificent natural stage on the Großer Jasmunder Bodden, the ensemble stages the story of the legendary likedeeler Klaus Störtebeker and his Vitalienbrüder — with real ships, horses, pyrotechnics, and fireworks.

Likedeeler — the new play cycle starting 2026

2026 marks the beginning of the VII. play cycle of the festival with the premiere of "Likedeeler". More than 60 performances are planned from June 20 to September 5. Over 150 participants, 4 ships, 30 horses, special effects, and an evening fireworks display over the Bodden make every performance a spectacle. Performances begin at 8:00 PM, with a duration of approximately three hours, including an intermission.

Shuttle Boat from Breege Harbour

From the small Breege Harbour on the Wittow peninsula, a shuttle boat travels directly to the Naturbühne Ralswiek during the performance season. Departure from Breege around 6:15 PM, arrival in time for the performance at 8:00 PM. The journey across the Bodden — past the Großer Jasmunder Bodden and along the island of Hiddensee on the horizon — is part of the experience and particularly popular with regular guests. Ralswiek is approximately 30 km as the crow flies from Breege.

Breege, Wittow, and the Vorpommern-Rügen District

Breege belongs to the Vorpommern-Rügen district in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Ralswiek itself is also located in the Vorpommern-Rügen district, south of Bergen auf Rügen. The combined water journey is a special feature of the festival and makes Breege harbour a recurring meeting point for theatre guests during the season.
