The state theatre Cottbus is the only state theatre in Brandenburg. The four-section theatre offers shows with dedicated ensembles for plays, musical theatre (opera, operetta, musical), orchestra and ballet in Cottbus. The Cottbus theatre was built on the citizens' request. Bernhard Sehring was awarded the theatre's construction in 1905. In 1896, he had already acquired great attention and caused a lively discussion with his theatre building "Theater des Westens“ in Berlin. The theatre construction in Cottbus - a secessionist art nouveau building - is Sehring's most mature architectural achievement. It was opened on 1 October 1908 with Lessing's play Minna von Barnhelm. From 1912 onwards, the theatre had its own orchestra and a fixed opera ensemble.
