At the end of the 18th century, Count Friedrich Julius Heinrich von Soden (1754-1831) had the building complex on the Schillerplatz in Bamberg converted into a theatre. On 3 and 4 October 1802, the Bamberg Theatre was opened as the "Highly Princely Privileged Theatre at Bamberg by Imperial Count Julius von Soden and Theatre Director Gottlieb Daniel Quandt" (1762-1815). Julius von Soden, Prussian envoy, privy councillor, owner of Sassanfahrt Castle, theatre lover and poet, wrote the tragedy "Bianca Capella" for it.
