• Hebbel Theater (now called HAU1),
• Theater am Halleschen Ufer (theater at Hallesches Ufer) (now called HAU2), and
• Theater am Ufer (now called HAU3).

The founding artistic director was Matthias Lilienthal until July 2012, when he was succeeded by the Belgian Annemie Vanackere. As of March 2024^[update] Annemie Vanackere is artistic director of HAU.
