This year stands the piece „holy Augustinus and mother Monika “on the program. Konrad shower, first executive committee of the theatre company, placed itself unites questions.

Since when is there the religious theatre in bath Endorf?

The religious plays the baths Endorfer theatre company have a long tradition and to go back on the year 1790.

What was the first piece?

The first piece was one „Thraurige Vorstehlung dess Erschrecklichen Jingsten of court “. It was specified on a meadow in Teisenham, a local part by bath Endorf.

How did it continue?

Starting from this time in bath Endorf theatre is played. At first Christian and not-Christian pieces alternated. But starting from end 19. Century almost exclusively works were specified, those the life of blessed ones and holy ones, as well as episodes from the Bible to describe.

Only during the two world wars the Christian pieces failed. But since 1946 year by year without interruption a religious play was played.


Who is the author of „holy Augustinus and mother Monika “

The piece was written by Hubert Bomba, one of our house authors. It came in the year 1963 for the first time on the stage.

Is Bomba a Bavarian local talent?

No. Mr. Bomba is a native Schlesier. He came end of the Second World War to Endorf. In the course of its life he wrote altogether thirteen pieces for the bath Endorfer folk theatre. He died unfortunately for us much too early in the year 2005.

Are catholic topics again current?

I would like to limit but to „religious topics “expand the question not only to „catholic “. We live today in a hectic time to ask often superficially and without for the sense of the life. Time and money are often the most important things of our life. We forget that there is more important.

Also is a religious request behind the performance?

Yes. Many humans look for ways out in the Esoterik or in sects. We want to give humans the possibility with our pieces of coming to the meditation and of finding peace. As the holy Augustinus said: „Jerky is our heart, to it peace finds in you “.

And the visitors?

Our numbers of visitors say us that it is for many a need to concern itself with religious topics.

Who are the actors?

Our actors are all layman, people as „you and I “. They sacrifice - if one can speak here at all of a victim - with enthusiasm year by year much spare time, in order to represent these topics and to please and build thus the spectators.

Are there age limits?

No. Some participate from birth. Others came or are added later. For many their theatre career ends only for health reasons or with death.

In addition, to forget are not the many helping hands behind the stage. They contribute also very much beside the actors to the success of the performances.

Who is the producer?

Our play leader - as we say - is Herbert Ramoser. It originates from our own rows and already some leading roles played. The play leader is rooted for nearly sixty years with our stage. For approximately thirty years it leads our religious pieces.

It is by its long affiliation with the technical possibilities of our stages in the best way trusts. The knowledge of the abilities of the individual players is in addition, just as important.

What makes Mr. Ramoser in the civilian life?

Herbert Ramoser is arranged by occupation painter master and at the same time the sceneries.

Where are these pieces specified?

The theatre company is proud to possess its own theatre house with 640 seats.

How came off?

The history of the theatre house is very moved. In the year 1865 twelve players united, around the building of a theatre house to financiers. Up to this time the pieces were specified in a barn, and/or in a hotel.

These twelve players are called this very day in the bath Endorfer vernacular „the twelve Apostel “.

And then?

These twelve „Theaterer “created a society in the year 1910 for local water supply and brought in its owner portion of the theatre house into this society.

Thus the theatre house into the possession of this society turned into. In the year 2001 the theatre company could the building redeem and thus the coming generations a secured theatre homeland create.

What are the high points of the theatre association?

Actually each year offers high points. Each time, if we feel players that we have it „rübergebracht “, if we experience the seizureness of the spectators, then feel happy and content we.

Special theatre guests?

To the high points to the past with security the visit of Josef Ratzinger belong to cardinal. He saw the piece „holy Augustinus and mother Monika “with us in the year 1981.

Was unforgettable the 200-Jahrfeier with naturally flag-dedicates in the year 1990, the theatre house buy-back in the year 2001 as well as the meeting of the theatre company with Pope Benedikt XVI. in April 2007 in Rome.

Future plans?

For the future I wish myself that the coming continue generations the tradition that they are ready to sacrifice time in order also further the gospel „playful “to announce. I wish myself also that the holy ones, which we represent hold also in the future their protecting hand over our theatre.

„My people, your leaders mislead you in, they bring you off from the correct way. The gentleman is available, in order to speak right; it stands there, in order to arrange its people. The gentleman goes into the court with the oldest ones and the princes of his people: You pillaged the vineyard; your houses are full from what robbed their that arms. How do you come to it my people to smash? You crush - saying of the gentleman of the armies. “
Jes. 3/12 15

„Pain you, it the punishment as with ox cords here-pulls and the sin as with car hurrying. You say: Which he wants to do, do he fast; he is to hurry, so that we see it; which the holy one of Israel plans, arrive soon, we want it to know. Pain those, which call the bad well and property badly, which makes the darkness the light and the light the darkness, which make the bitter sweetly and the sweet bitter. Pain those, which are into their eye wise and consider themselves intelligent. Blows those the heroes are, if it is valid to drink wine and courageously, if it is valid strong beverages to brew, which acquit the guilty one for bribe, and from which fair ones withhold its right. Therefore: As the fire tongue glean eats and as hay in the flame collapses, then its root putrid and their bloom is to be whirled up such as dust. Because they pointed the instructions of the gentleman of the armies from itself and gelästert over the word of holy Israel. “
Jesaja 5/18 24
