The Munich Schauburg lies in the heart of Schwabing. The building of a former cinema was acquired by the city during the 1970s and used as a municipal kids and youth theatre. In 1990 the city of Munich set a courageous sign and allowed the the reconstruction into a modern theatre with a multifunctional room concept. Up until today the interior design of Schauburg is one of Europe's most modern theatre venues. Stage and auditorium may be adapted to the needs of each production, the auditorium can be altered into large and small stages as well as used as a circus arena or as a raree show.

The Schauburg is not only trend-setting when it comes to modern stage technique, but also in terms of aesthetics. Thus, the trade publication "Theater Heute" claims:

"As a place of innovative forms of theatre, a school of perception and the aesthetic experience in the media age the Schauburg, Theater der Jugend, sticks out in the scene with its director George Podt."
