Results from the Administrative Board Meeting

During the Administrative Board meeting concerning the renovation of the Württembergische Staatstheater (WST), Minister of Science and Arts Petra Olschowski and Lord Mayor Dr. Frank Nopper highlighted the cultural significance of the project. They particularly praised the progress in planning the new workshop building in Bad Cannstatt and in launching the realization competition for the renovation, modernization, and expansion at the main location in the Upper Palace Gardens. Both sub-projects are on schedule according to the preliminary timeline for the overall project, which was presented in November 2024 and reconfirmed at the Administrative Board meeting.
At the same time, they made it clear that a smaller and simpler solution would be necessary for the interim location at the Wagenhallen. The management of ProWST emphasized in this context that a significant reduction in construction costs would only be possible through a substantial reduction in the spatial program and a lowering of standards.
The goal remains an economical and cost-efficient solution that simultaneously safeguards the artistic quality of the ballet and opera divisions and ensures a functional working environment for the WST employees.
ProWST will continue to drive forward the implementation of the renovation project with high professionalism and great commitment.
