Münchner Volkstheater

How do you actually build a people's theater? As simple as necessary, so as not to cause any fear about entering in the audience, and as chic as possible, because theater is not only about staging on stage. This is the answer of the architectural firm Lederer, Ragnarsdóttir, Oei (Stuttgart) and the construction company Reisch (Bad Saulgau). Their Munich Volkstheater presents itself as a powerfully poetic brick building that is in dialogue with the old buildings of the former Munich cattle yard and gives the neighborhood an important cultural impulse. LRO Lederer, Ragnarsdóttir, Oei Architekten was founded in 1979 and currently employs around 50 people. Arno Lederer, born 1947, Prof., studied architecture in Stuttgart from 1970 to 1976. Worked in the architectural offices of Ernst Gisel and Berger Hauser Oed. 1979 independent architect, office partners: 1985 Jórunn Ragnarsdóttir, 1990 Marc Oei.
