01 / Why this place matters

First theatre years

The marriage to Minna Planer solemnised here shaped more than two decades of Wagner’s unsettled professional and private life. Because the church no longer survives, mapping its site restores an important personal event to the transformed city.

02 / Plan the visit

Kaliningrad

Always verify opening hours, tickets and accessibility directly with the operator.

Practical note
