There is also the "Little Stage" nightclub, a "Little Theater," the "Egg" and a children's revue theater. To its north stands the old Friedrich Palace, built in 1869 as Berlin's first market hall, which was a circus from 1874 and then converted in 1919 to the "Great Playhouse" (its heyday being under Max Reinhardt). Am Zirkus -- the street leading off Schiffbauerdamm on which lies the building of the Berlin Ensemble -- is reminiscent of the old Friedrichstadt Palace.
