Open positions

Could not finde the right job for you? Feel free to send us an initiative application!

For the 2026 season, we are looking for excellent German-speaking actors and actresses who have (almost) completed their education or have stage experience, for a minimum of 15 hours per week.

Since 2000, the Hamburg Dungeon has been bringing the dark sides of Hamburg’s history to life in an entertaining way:

Professional actors and actresses step into historical roles and take visitors on a spooky yet humorous journey through over 600 years of Hamburg’s past in interactive shows.

Thanks to deceptively realistic sets and cinematic effects, visitors become part of Hamburg’s spine-chilling historical events in ten different shows at the Station Theater. For example, guests experience the Great Fire of Hamburg in 1842, Störtebeker’s execution, or the infamous Hamburg prison “Santa Fu.”

Our core working hours are daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

 

The position is advertised as a part-time role (15–25 hours per week) with a wage tax card and pays €14.90 per hour.

 

All applicants must have very good German and English language skills.

We would like to expressly encourage people of color in particular to apply.

asting calls will take place soon in Hamburg.

Unsolicited applications are welcome at any time.

 

If you’re not afraid of the dark and are interested in a full-time job with a great team, we look forward to receiving your application, including your resume (as a PDF) and a recent photo, at schauspiel.dungeons@merlinentertainments.biz

Metin Auf Der Rampe

Metin, technical team member

Hey! My name is Metin I started as a host in August 2022. There my job was the interior & exterior coordination as well as operating the rides.
Relatively quickly I slipped into marketing and planned, shot and uploaded content!
After some time and wanting more, I ended up in the tech department and am now partially responsible for the smooth running of each show as well as turning the station theater on & off!

My favorite Merlin moments:

  • The varied work offers an incredible amount of opportunities and new experiences.
  • No two days are the same
  • The team always puts you in a good mood! Everyone is open and listens to you when something is on your mind.

Mina, actor

Hi, I'm Mina and I've been an actress at the Hamburg Dungeon since 2022.

My favorite Merlin moments:

  • We pull people out of their everyday lives and take them into Hamburg's dark past
  • What motivates me is that there is always something new to experience. Despite the same tasks, no two days are the same
  • For Halloween, we put our foot down especially hard. I love that we can always bring new ideas to the house

In the beginning, I worked as a commercial at both SEA LIFE Hannover and the Hamburg Dungeon. This was followed by my transition into the acting team. Through my studies I also found my way into marketing. Thus, I am currently employed at the Hamburg Dungeon both as an actress and as a marketing coordinator.
