English summary: In the 1950s and 60s, no other country built as many new theaters as West Germany. The post-war building boom was a reaction to the destruction caused by World War II and to the enormous rush of theatregoers at that time. In addition, the competition between the commissioning cities was a driving force. The book traces significance and social relevance of a building type for a new democracy. Prominent architects such as Egon Eiermann and Rudolf Hillebrecht played a major role in the debates and collective negotiations conducted by the media: The role and intentions of the most important theater designers in the Federal Republic of Germany are revealed, including Alvar Aalto, Fritz Bornemann and Gerhard Graubner. German description: Nirgends wurden in den 1950er und 60er Jahren so viele Theaterbauten neu errichtet wie in der Bundesrepublik. Der Nachkriegsbauboom reagierte auf Kriegszerstorungen und auf den zeitweise enormen Besucherandrang. Der Bedeutung und gesellschaftlichen Relevanz einer Baugattung fur die junge Demokratie wird hier nachgespurt.
