Due to financial problems, the unfinished theatre was sold to Anton Kleibel and Siegmund Bergmann in 1913. Opened 1 May 1914. Used for drama performances. 1918 interior rebuilding by Hermann Helmer. Subsequently used for operetta performances. Slightly damaged in World War II. Demolished 1960-1961.
