The theater was founded in 1997 by Hans-Dieter Maienschein and his wife Renate. The first performances took place at the former Volksbildungsheim in Frankfurt. Later, the Siesmayer Hall in the Palmengarten became its permanent home. It was here that Maienschein made his debut in 1998 as Papageno in *The Little Magic Flute*, which he directed himself. He named his musical theater in the Palmengarten after the cheerful fellow in colorful plumage.
