The Bernauer Volksbühne e. V. is an amateur theatre group in Bernau am Chiemsee in the district of Rosenheim, Upper Bavaria, Germany. Village theatre in Bernau is documented since the late 19th century; the group has used its present name since 1971 and has been a registered association since 1991. Every year from late August to late September it performs a Bavarian folk play weekly at the Gasthof Kampenwand.[1]

History

According to the group, the first documented plays in Bernau were performed at the end of the 19th century in the Gasthaus Kampenwand, still its venue today. After the Second World War the revival of theatre in the village was closely linked with Konrad Dummert and Engelbert Haumeier. The group has officially been called Bernauer Volksbühne since 1971 and became an independent registered association in 1991. The club's website gives its membership as 40, most of whom take part each year in some way, whether as actors or in stage building.[1]

Repertoire

The group rehearses from late April and performs once a week during its late-summer season, a tradition maintained for decades.[1] Its recent productions include Ludwig Anzengruber's Der ledige Hof, Franz Schaurer's No koa oids Glump, Monika Steinbacher's Die Millionen-Oma, Der bayerische Casanova by Veri Geisenhofer, Die 3 Saubären by Thomas Brückner and Opas Wiedergeburt by Felix Buchmair.[2] In 2026 it staged Martin Fischer's comedy Oaner spinnt immer in a version by Gerald Hofmann, opening on 20 August.[3]

Venue

The stage is in the Gasthof Kampenwand in the Aschauer Straße in Bernau; food and drink are served before, during and after performances.[4]
