The 'Neues Schauspielhaus' (English: New Theatre), now known as the Metropol, was built in 1905 as a theatre and concert hall (the Mozartsaal) in the then-fashionable Art Nouveau style. In 1911 the Mozartsaal was converted into a cinema with 925 seats. While the auditorium was destroyed in World War II, the facade, as well as the cinema, survived and in 1951 was renamed the Metropol. Since 1977 it has been used as a discothèque and became a famous music club during the 1980s.

The Neues Schauspielhaus used to feature an array of performances ranging from theatricals, music, mimes, magic shows, cabaret, and comedy, etc. They also had lectures and speeches conducted at this venue. The graffiti-laden walls of the theater were an absolute delight to one's sight. The Neues Schauspielhaus played a prominent role in the local cultural scene.
