Anklam State Theater of Western Pomerania
In 1949, the curtain rose at the Anklam Theater on *Iphigenia in Tauris*, which opened the very first season of the small theater in the Schützenhaus.
Hardly anyone at the time would have expected that this small community theater would one day become one of the most versatile cultural institutions in our state. In 1993, the Theater Anklam became the Vorpommersche Landesbühne, which today delights residents and tourists alike on the sunny island of Usedom and the neighboring mainland with theater of all kinds at three different venues and on open-air stages. Permanent venues: Theater Anklam, Blechbüchse Zinnowitz, Barther Boddenbühne. Summer performances: “Chapeau Rouge” theater tent in Heringsdorf, right on the beach promenade; the Vineta Festival on the Ostseebühne Zinnowitz; theater on the Usedom Harbor Stage; Barther Theater Garden; “Die Peene brennt” on the banks of the Peene River in Anklam in early September, as well as the Vorpommern Theater Academy—a training center for actors in Zinnowitz. The company’s headquarters is the Theater Anklam. Since 1997, audiences have been following the stories of the sunken city of Vineta annually at the Ostseebühne. The cast includes actors from the Vorpommersche Landesbühne Anklam, students from the Vorpommern Theater Academy, and amateur performers from the region. Whether it’s sophisticated entertainment featuring works by the great playwrights, summery comedies, rousing musical revues, fairy-tale children’s plays, or fantastic open-air spectacles, every audience member will find something to their taste here.
Vorpommersche Landesbühne Anklam – Diverse Theater Culture in Vorpommern
The Vorpommersche Landesbühne Anklam is one of the most vibrant cultural institutions in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It has its origins in the Theater Anklam, where the first season opened in 1949 with Goethe’s “Iphigenia in Tauris” at what was then the Schützenhaus. In 1993, this small community theater evolved into today’s Landesbühne, which delights its audiences at several permanent venues as well as on open-air stages.
Venues on Usedom and the mainland
Its headquarters is the Theater Anklam on the mainland. Other venues include the Blechbüchse in Zinnowitz and the Barther Boddenbühne. In the summer, the program expands to include the “Chapeau Rouge” theater tent right on the beach promenade in Heringsdorf, the Usedom Harbor Stage, and the Barth Theater Garden. In early September, the spectacle “Die Peene brennt” draws crowds to the banks of the Peene River in Anklam.
Vineta Festival at the Ostseebühne Zinnowitz
Since 1997, the Vineta Festival at the Ostseebühne Zinnowitz has told the legend of the sunken city of Vineta every year. Actors from the Landesbühne, students from the Vorpommern Theater Academy, and amateur actors from the region perform together in this open-air spectacle—one of the most impressive theatrical experiences on the Baltic Sea coast.
Programs for every taste—from children’s plays to musical revues
Whether classic dramas, summer comedies, musical revues, or fairy tales for children—the Vorpommersche Landesbühne Anklam offers a wide repertoire for all age groups. Visitors to the sunny island of Usedom and neighboring Vorpommern naturally combine their vacation on the Baltic Sea with a trip to the theater.
Other attractions in Anklam
Regio - The regional store Anklam
● Anklam
Regional...first choice. Range of regional products that are produced and refined in the immediate vicinity of Anklam. The Regionalladen Anklam offers a wide range of regional products from the immediate vicinity of Anklam. Not only can you shop here, but you can also enjoy fresh coffee, delicious cakes and snacks. It's well worth a visit! There are many reasons why it is worth buying regional products. Here are some important points: - The transportation routes of regional food are shorter. This in turn saves a lot of CO2 compared to imported products that have to travel long distances. - Some products also need to be refrigerated during transportation. The shorter the distances, the lower the energy consumption. - Short transportation routes also mean more freshness. The time between harvest and sale is significantly shorter than for imported goods. Taste is also an important aspect of fruit and vegetables. Fruit and vegetables are usually harvested unripe so that they can withstand long transportation routes. The situation is different with regional, seasonal fruit and vegetables. The shorter transportation routes mean they can be harvested when ripe. This makes the fruit and vegetables taste much more intense. - Buying regional food also supports the local economy.
Nikolai Church Anklam
● Anklam
The Nikolai Church in the center of the Hanseatic city of Anklam, very close to the Peene River, is one of the few surviving witnesses to the brick Gothic style from the 750 years since Anklam was founded. The gallery of "Hanseatic coat of arms windows" in the Nikolaikirche is a unique monument in Europe. The Nikolaikirche was built in honor of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors, fishermen and merchants in Gothic-Hanseatic architecture and was completed in the second half of the 15th century. The church had been the city's landmark for centuries and a symbol of the freedom and prosperity of the Hanseatic citizens. The 103 m high church tower - once a pilot's mark - greeted sailors from far away on the Oderhaff. During the bombing of Anklam at the end of the Second World War, the church was completely destroyed apart from the surrounding walls. In 1994, the Friends of St. Nicholas' Church Anklam e. V. was founded to prevent the impending decay. Since 1995, the church has been gradually rebuilt. The building was already open to the public again in 1999. Today, the former baptistery is Lilienthal's exhibition and event venue. Changing exhibitions are dedicated to the "dream of flight" and the son of the Hanseatic city of Anklam, Otto Lilienthal. The church tower is now accessible again and leads to the highest vantage point in the town. From there, the Peene Valley can be admired in all its beauty. In the future, the "Ikareum" project, an event and visitor center connected to the Otto Lilienthal Museum, is to be realized in the church. The Nikolaikirche Anklam is open from May to October. The Otto Lilienthal Museum also offers guided tours of the church.
