Theaterschiff Potsdam is a floating cultural venue moored at Schiffbauergasse, offering theatre, concerts, and cabaret aboard a historic ship. Built in 1924 as a freight barge named Sturmvogel, the vessel was transformed in the 1990s into a vibrant performance space under the direction of actor Winfried Mattukat. Since 1995, it has hosted over 300 events annually, welcoming around 20,000 guests to its intimate 90-seat theatre. The ship also features a restaurant, bar, and open deck with 120 seats, creating a relaxed, immersive atmosphere for audiences. Theaterschiff’s programming blends original productions, guest performances, and readings, often centered around socially relevant themes. Its unique setting on Lake Tiefer See, near Babelsberg Park and the Glienicker Bridge, enhances the experience with scenic views and a maritime flair. As part of Potsdam’s cultural landscape, Theaterschiff stands out for its experimental spirit and commitment to accessible, waterborne theatre.
