Schwab writes:According to the plans of Bernhard Sehring, it is built by the local municipal building office in 1904-1905 and presents itself in the tasteful style of the XVI Louis period, while the stage and scenery house is attached to it in the forms of old castle architecture. The interior design - the mild white of the wall coverings effectively accented by unassuming gold trim, the rich stucco ornamentation, the graceful columned galleries of the box ramps, and the understated red of the wallpaper - is effectively supported by a starry canopy of glittering incandescent lights on the ceiling of the house. The foyer, which is not large, is covered by a mirrored vault and receives an intimate appeal from Empire furniture, narrow-styled sconces, gold brocade-like wallpaper and a statue of Venus Anadyomene. The theater contains 800 seats, half of which are distributed in the hall and the rest in the boxes, tiers and gallery. Info:- The parking lot was the entrance to the theater.- The Halberstadt theater was identical to Cottbus.- In Halberstadt, a temporary structure was created in Spiegelstraße. It is still preserved and in operation today as the Nordharzer Städtebundtheater, in cooperation with the theater in Quedlinburg.
