Theaterstadl Wiedergeltingen e. V. is an amateur theatre group in Wiedergeltingen, district of Unterallgäu, Swabia, Bavaria, Germany. It continues a village theatre tradition documented since the early 19th century and stages a comedy or rural farce every Easter season in its own venue.[1][2]
History
Records of theatre in Wiedergeltingen go back to 1819, when the parish staged Der adelige Taglöhner by F. G. Nesselrode, as reported by the Mindelheimer Wochenblatt. An account from 1885 lists expenses for curtain, lights and stage building and a donation to the poor fund; the performances were probably held at the Gasthaus Ritter.[1]
The Theaterverein Wiedergeltingen was founded on 14 February 1948. After the play had been checked for National Socialist content by the Allgäu guest performance office in Kaufbeuren, it staged Die drei Eisbären by Maximilian Vitus on 3 and 4 April 1948, with part of the proceeds going to a class for refugee children. Performances in the early 1950s were probably held in the old gymnasium. Later the club fell silent for several years for lack of players.[1]
In 2006 a new amateur group formed, and in 2007 it moved into the Musiker- und Theaterstadl on Osterweg, opening on Palm Sunday 2007 with Der Mustergatte. In 2011, 22 members founded the registered association Theaterstadl Wiedergeltingen e. V.[1] No plays were staged from 2020 to 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The club has grown from 15 to 63 members, of whom 9 to 15 are on stage each year.[1]
Repertoire
Each year the group stages one comedy or rural farce (Bauernschwank), opening on Palm Sunday with further performances over Easter and the following weekends.[1][4] Besides the regular performances it offers performances for children and senior citizens.[2] The club also hosts guest performances, such as the Manoli Ensemble from Marktoberdorf in November 2026.[5]
