Culture in Hessen – Traditional and Modern
The fact that countless cities and
towns in Hessen can look back upon
centuries-old history, contributes
much to the region’s quaint charm.
Old timber houses in many cities,
for example, provide a picturesque
backdrop for the region’s many
traditional folk, culinary, and wine
festivals. There is no dearth of topclass
cultural locations in Hessen.
The cities of Darmstadt, Wiesbaden,
and Kassel have their own state
38
theaters. Frankfurt has an excellent
opera as well as a city
theater and a lot of private theaters.
Highly popular with the Englishspeaking
patrons is the English
Theater in a bank-owned high-rise
building in Frankfurt. Founded
in 1979 by the American actress
Judith Rosenbauer and a group
of actors, the English Theater can
pride itself in being the Continent’s
largest English-speaking theater, a
multifaceted entertainment jewel in
the banking district and close to the
museums.
Besides the local museums in various
cities, the splendid Museum Mile
along the river Main embankment
(Museumsufer) in Frankfurt deserves
special mention.
