Duisburg is a city known in part for its commitment to preserving past history and culture, and probably the landmark most associated with this commitment is the City Theatre. Generally regarded as a major cultural center of Germany, the City Theatre of Duisburg is definitely worth a look for those German tourists looking for something to do in Duisburg.
Located in the city square (the Konig-Heinrich-Platz), the City Theatre is within walking distance of most other Duisburg attractions, making it the perfect place to stop and take in a show after a day of walking around and looking at the sights. The Theatre, however, can be considered a sight in and of itself with its magnificent architecture, including a decidedly bold columned construction that really stands out. The Theatre has a continued partnership with theatres in other major cities such as Dusseldorf; as a result, they continue to be able to show the best of what the German theatre has to offer.
