The Landesbühne Niedersachsen Nord (LBNN) is a theatre founded in 1952 and located in Wilhelmshaven. Originating from the Ostfriesische Landesbühne in Leer, it is today one of two state stages in Lower Saxony. One of the special features of these houses is that they not only supply their home town and administrative headquarters with theatre art, but also a large play area in rural areas. In the case of the Landesbühne Niedersachsen Nord, which travelled to the Lüneburg Heath in the 1950s, the venues initially changed annually. Today, the theatre presents its productions in a region inhabited by 720,000 people, which extends from East Frisia via Emsland to the Oldenburg Münsterland.
2. Christus- und Garnisionkirche
The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Christ and Garrison is a church in Wilhelmshaven, Germany. The church, built from 1869, was consecrated in 1872 under the name Elisabethkirche. It served as the navy's garrison church in the newly founded Wilhelmshaven. During the Second World War, the church was severely damaged by Allied bombing raids. In 1959 it was reconsecrated and given the double name "Christus- und Garnisonkirche", which is intended to commemorate the Christuskirche of the parish, which was also destroyed in the Second World War.
