Max Jacob Theater Hohnstein
About 90 years ago, the passionate hand puppeteer Max Jacob founded a puppet theater in the castle town of Hohnstein - and Punch became its biggest star. The Max Jacob Theater still exists today. It not only hosts classic hand puppet shows, but also cabaret, adult theater, cabaret evenings, concerts, lectures and readings.
Not only the theater and the castle, but also life-size Punch puppets and a show workshop for puppet carving can be discovered in Hohnstein. We recommend a walk through the enchanting little castle town on the Punch and Judy trail. Popular hiking destinations in the area include the Brand with its fantastic views, the romantic Polenztal valley and the Gautschgrotte grotto, where a huge ice column forms in some winters!
