The Burgtheater ( as the ''K.K. Hofburgtheater'', is the Austria 's federal theatre in Vienna and one of the most important German Language Theatre s in the world. It was created on 14 March 1741 by Habsburg Empress Maria Theresa Of Austria to be a theatre next to her palace, and her son, emperor Joseph II called the "German National Theatre" in 1776 . Beginning in 1794 , the theatre was called the "K.K. Hoftheater nächst der Burg".
