The article stub Municipal theatre begins with a dictionary description (WP:NOT#DICT). All additional description of the article subject is about what the subject is not, by comparison to other theatre forms, but the implied differences do not exist.
State theatres, Landesbühnen and municipal theatres all receive public funds from their cities and states.
All German theatres can receive public funding.
"Municipal theatres" are not necessarily former court theatres. They can emerge through private initiative, e.g. Volksbühne.
They are not necessarily financed by wealthy citizens, many have been founded by artists.
It sounds like you could take sources such as Schumacher, Northam & Wickham 1996, p. 116 and reams of other sources, such as Nagy, Rouyer & Rubin 2013, p. 435 for example, in hand and improve the article, then. Why bring it to AFD? AFD is not a writing service. {{sofixit}} applies. Uncle G (talk) 09:13, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, valid concept, sufficient potential for expansion, interesting historically (citizens versus aristocracy etc.). de:Stadttheater has a bit of more information. —Kusma (talk) 08:02, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
