  Our theatre company is preparing the season for the railway theater and several projects in different regions of Germany. Exciting immersive theater projects with our own train are carried out along railway tracks throughout Germany.

  The theater operates the world's only production facility for theater on rails. There are accommodations, a kitchen, offices, a workshop and the technical warehouse in eleven wagons. The team lives, travels and works on the train. There is a single cabin available for everyone. Full meals are served in the dining car.
  
  Our project will take place from 4 May to 28 June 2026 (documentary theatre about steel industry, a tour with the train)
