Apollo Theater (Lübeck)
The Apollo Theater was an early Lübeck cinema .
Elite cinema
The Hamburg restaurateur Heinrich Wullenweber had acquired a restaurant in Mühlenstrasse 46 in 1903 , which also included an event hall about 30 meters long and 7 meters wide. Wullenweber had variety programs performed here , and performances by traveling cinema companies were also shown.
In the spring of 1910, Wullenweber applied to the Lübeck police office to be allowed to convert the hall into a movie theater and received the corresponding approval. The elite cinema was opened on May 5th, only to close again after a few days. On May 10th, Wullenweber leased the cinema to Hermann Brehmer from Berlin , and on May 15th it went back into operation.
Apollo theater
After the summer break, during which the early Lübeck cinemas were mostly closed, Wullenweber changed the name of the cinema. The new opening for the autumn-winter season took place under the name Apollo Theater .
In May 1911, Wullenweber sold the restaurant and moved away from Lübeck. The Apollo Theater was not continued by the new owner.
