Temporary closure 2006-2009 and renovation 2009-2012.

In 2006, the theater was closed due to significant structural deficiencies. In August 2009, work began on the renovation of the theater and a new theater building. This was made possible in part by an extraordinary civic commitment, in particular a major donation from Heidelberg entrepreneur Wolfgang Marguerre.[1][2] The total cost was nearly €60 million, about €19 million of which was donated, with Marguerre alone contributing €15 million. The building's New Hall was named after him.[3]
