1898-1903, 1930s-2009
By the end of the 18th century, realism in German theater was growing and during the 19th century, romanticism and naturalism styles of theater were also increasingly being performed. In the 20th century, new types of theater emerged including modernism, expressionism, impressionism, and other types of experimental theater. As of 2022, German theater continues to experiment as well as produce classic German theatrical shows. The German Theater Collection contains images of theatrical buildings and theatrical programs from 1898-1903 and 1930s-2009. Materials are mostly in German with some English.

Historical Note
By the end of the 18th century, realism in German theater was growing along with a rise in national theaters. These national theaters had their own theatrical groups rather than using traveling troupes. During the 19th century, romanticism and naturalism styles of theater were increasingly being performed. In the 20th century, new types of theater emerged including modernism, expressionism, impressionism, and other types of experimental theater. As of 2022, German theater continues to experiment as well as produce classic German theatrical shows.
