Image description

On August 6, 1975, shortly after five o'clock in the morning, the old Basel City Theater was blown up with 230 kilograms of explosives, distributed in 1169 boreholes. In order to keep spectators away, the time of the blasting was kept secret. After the blasting, the view of the facade of the adjacent new theatre building becomes unobstructed. The demolition of the old theatre is still very controversial among the people of Basel, even after the opening of the new municipal theatre
