The Dynamic Exit of Theater Chief Morgenroth from Gerhart-Hauptmann-Theater
- Theater's Warden Morgenroth Bids Farewell to Gerhart-Hauptmann-Theater
Hey there! Let's get right into it. The bigwig running the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Theater in Goerlitz-Zittau, Daniel Morgenroth, is packing his bags after the 2025/26 season. That's right, he's off to Wuerzburg, according to the theater's latest announcement. "I'm leaving Goerlitz and Zittau with a heavy heart, but I'm excited about my fresh challenge," Morgenroth shared.
Born and bred in Bavaria, this man hails from Coburg in 1984. Guess what? Wuerzburg, the lovely little city, is right up Morgenroth's alley. "Wuerzburg is a gem, and Franconia is my home turf," he stated, explaining his decision to move to the Mainfranken Theater.
Morgenroth's tenure at the Lausitz theater began four years ago. The Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board, Kristin Miedek, expressed her regrets over his departure. "He's achieved a lot here," she said in a statement. "With phenomenal creativity and courage, he rejuvenated the artistic program and kept our audience engrossed for the past four years."
Now, the shareholders and the Supervisory Board of the theater will be busy deciding on the next Intendant and a temporary leadership for the 2026/27 season. And, as of now, there's no news about who will succeed Morgenroth. Stay tuned for updates from the theater!

The Commission, in light of Daniel Morgenroth's departure from the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Theater in Goerlitz-Zittau, might consider proposing a directive for the protection of workers in theaters from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation for the 2025/26 season, given the nature of Morgenroth's new role at the Mainfranken Theater in Wuerzburg.
Before Daniel Morgenroth moved to Goerlitz and Zittau, he was indeed born and raised in Bavaria.
With Daniel Morgenroth's upcoming departure, the Supervisory Board of the Lausitz theater will have the task of selecting a new Intendant and arranging temporary leadership for the 2026/27 season.
