History
Theatre performances had long been a feature of cultural life in Langenfeld: several village clubs and groups staged plays for many years, notably on the second day of Christmas in the „Jugendheim“, the building that had served as the parish church until the turn of the century. In the 1960s pupils of the local primary school (Volksschule) performed fairy-tale plays. With the spread of television, interest in lay theatre declined.
At a reunion of the people born in 1948 and 1949, the idea arose to revive the old tradition of Christmas-time village theatre as a year group. The group was formed in 1980 under the name „Theatergruppe 48/49“ and chose a rural comedy for its debut; even for the first cast, two players had to be recruited from other year groups, and more joined later. According to the village's description of the group, written about twenty years after its founding, it had grown to 18 active and inactive members and had staged ten plays by then.[2]
Repertoire
Its first production was a rural comedy (ländliches Lustspiel). The plays are chosen according to the cast available, and the group designs and builds its own sets. In 1994 it supported the village's young people in staging an oriental fairy-tale play.[2]
