Temporary Venue: Staatstheater Kassel

An extraordinary construction project is currently underway in Kassel: a temporary, modular interim venue for the State Theatre. Whilst the historic main building undergoes extensive renovation, the new building has been bringing opera, drama and concerts together under one roof since autumn 2025. The flexible theatre building is a prime example of modern, sustainable construction – designed to be dismantled and reused at a different location at a later date.

The complex, built entirely using modular construction, comprises not only the central auditorium but also numerous functional areas such as cloakrooms, rehearsal rooms and technical spaces. Over 160 prefabricated units enable short construction times whilst ensuring high precision and adaptability.

As part of this challenging project, Teckentrup supplied a total of 65 functional doors that meet the highest standards for fire and sound insulation. Doors of various classes are used (T30, T60 and EI₂ 30, EI₂ 60 ), which both contribute to safety within the building and ensure the acoustic separation of sensitive areas. At the same time, the robust sheet steel doors blend harmoniously into the overall architectural design of the modular theatre building.
