Country: Czech Republic (Česká Republika)
City: Hořice na Šumavě (Höritz im Böhmerwalde)

Theatre built 1893 for the Höritz Passion Play, a German-language play documented locally since 1816. Used until 1948, when the passion play was forbidden by the Communist government. Subsequently used as a sheep pen and straw warehouse. 1966 demolished by blasting, together with the nearby Saint Anne Chapel.

[Since 1993 a new Hořice passion play in Czech language has been performed in a new open-air theatre "Pašijové Divadlo" near the village.]
