Head to Friedrichstadt-Palast, the so-called ‘Berlin Broadway’ in recognition of its capacity, size and state-of-the-art effects. Located at the heart of Berlin’s lively Friedrichstrasse, the theater is popular with Berliners and visitors alike, who go to see dazzling dance performances inside its iconic building. The history of the building is nearly as enticing as the shows that take place within it; having started out as a market hall, Friedrichstadt-Palast was reborn as a theater following a lavish makeover by modernist artist Hans Poelzig. After having suffered structural damages to the building, in 1984 the new Friedrichstadt-Palast re-opened as the last major grand construction project of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), which was already beginning to near its end at the time.
