The list of cinemas in the Berlin district of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf gives an overview of all cinemas that existed or still exist in the Berlin district of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf . Since the reform of 2001, the districts have been included in the list according to the district boundaries. Sorted by administrative number: Charlottenburg , Wilmersdorf , Schmargendorf , Grunewald , Westend , Halensee , although there were no cinemas in Charlottenburg-Nord . The list was built according to information from research in the Kino-Wiki and linked to connections with Berlin's cinema history from further historical and current references. It reflects the status of the film screening facilities that have ever existed in Berlin as well as the situation in January 2020. According to this, there are 92 venues in Berlin, which means first place in Germany, followed by Munich (38), Hamburg (28), Dresden (18) as well as Cologne and Stuttgart (17 each). At the same time, this compilation is part of the lists of all Berlin cinemas .

introduction

The distribution of cinemas in the district results from the history of settlement and population distribution. In the cinema-relevant years from 1910 onwards, the area around Kurfürstendamm (“City West”) was part of the core area of ​​Berlin and was more interesting for investors and owners when it came to the settlement of “ Kintöppe ” and the large movie theaters than the districts further away from the center. This is how “Berlin's cinema mile around Kurfürstendamm” () emerged as a central location with a denser arrangement. The Berlinale Festival also found its starting point here after the early years in the Steglitz Titaniapalast . As in Berlin, many closed cinemas in the district became supermarkets during the cinema crisis of the 1960s .

The completeness of the list cannot be guaranteed. In the 1910s the demand for Kintöppen boomed and a demonstration device in a guest room was often sufficient. Tracking down to the older cinemas is sometimes more difficult because the owners and operators were also merchants, innkeepers and homeowners. In the early days in particular, the wife was sometimes used as a cinema owner for tax reasons.

Overview in the district

The set-ups of cinemas in the (greater) district were divided up according to the district boundaries in accordance with the district reform of 2001. These lists are still based on the two old districts of Charlottenburg and Wilmersdorf. The 66 cinemas in the district of Charlottenburg were included in a separate Charlottenburg list . Therefore, historical structures are mentioned here within the article, but not structured separately from the district. 23 cinemas for Wilmersdorf, five cinemas for Schmargendorf as well as one in Grunewald and six each in Westend and Halensee were researched.

The twelve cinemas in the districts of Grunewald, Halensee and Schmargendorf are summarized in an overall list that can be sorted by district . The 23 cinemas in the Wilmersdorf district are summarized in the list of cinemas in Berlin-Wilmersdorf .

Cinemas in the old district of Charlottenburg

There were never any cinemas in the district of Charlottenburg-Nord. Six cinemas in Westend are included in the subsequent Westend list .

In the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district, the 66 cinemas in the Charlottenburg district make up by far the largest proportion. This is reflected in the fact that of the active cinemas in Berlin, the following six theaters are located in the district:

Cinemas in the old district of Wilmersdorf

From 1886, with the first development plan, Wilmersdorf developed from a rural community to an elegant residential area. This went hand in hand with the construction of “noble” houses for wealthy residents from all over Berlin. In the entertainment district around Wilmersdorfer See at that time , there were already three cinematograph theaters with a total of 600 seats by 1910, according to the “Wilmersdorfer Zeitung”. “A number of cinemas of the greatest style are currently still under construction: in Friedrichstrasse, on Kurfürstendamm, in Wilmersdorf. In the west there will even be a grand theater in the near future, which will only be used for cinematographic screenings. "()

In line with the ongoing development, the first cinemas were built in the area of ​​the village center on Berliner-, Uhland- and Blissestrasse, mainly as shop cinemas or, as in the case of Amor Lichtspiele, with an attached cinema. The first independent cinema was built in 1913 on Berliner Strasse with the Wittelsbach Palace . In 1926 Friedrich Lipp created the large cinema atrium with more than a thousand seats and an elaborate design, which also attracted visitors from all over Berlin. Finally, in 1927, the Universe in the WOGA complex on Kurfürstendamm by Erich Mendelsohn , which completes the series of Kurfürstendamm cinemas. At the upper end of Kurfürstendamm, in Halensee, the Rote Mühle and the Rivoli tie in with the tradition of the excursion restaurants and the nearby Luna Park .

To replace the many cinemas destroyed in the war, makeshift cinemas such as the Pax in the auditorium of the Hildegard Wegscheider grammar school are being built in the surrounding districts . Melodie Lichtspiele am Roseneck in Schmargendorf was the only new building to be built in 1956. The only surviving cinemas are the Bundesplatz-Studio on Bundesplatz and Eva Lichtspiele in Blissestraße. The graffiti on Pariser Strasse was the last off-screen cinema to close in 1996.

Wilmersdorf
Uhlandstrasse  81
1911-1943
BW

The district taxator operated its technical office on the double plot of land at Uhlandstrasse 81/82 and two new buildings were built in 1911. In the neighboring house 83/84, the cinematograph owner Julius Umlauf moved into the ground floor as a new citizen of Berlin (previously not registered in the residential area). In 1911, a new building by the Wohlfahrt brothers was built on the previously undeveloped property at Uhlandstrasse 80. The sculptor Otto Wohlfahrt (Wilmersdorf, Mannheimer Straße 30) carried out a construction on the plot No. 81 of the previous double plot 81/82. Originally, 81 stores were planned. After the neighboring property was included and the fire wall (between 80 and 81) was broken, a theater hall that emerged from the side of the building could be built. In this, on November 11, 1911, the "New Light Games" were opened. The screen at the end of the ground-level auditorium was three meters high, and the projection was overhead. Josef Umlauf (Cinematographic Performances) moved to Mannheimer Straße 43 in 1912. The use of the cinema / theater hall in Uhlandstraße 81 was not clearly documented until it was named “Amor”, and neither the address nor an owner is under cinematographic conception among the traders called. However, Otto Wohlfarth moved with his sculptor's workshop to Neukölln on the property on which a movie theater had existed since 1913. From 1915, Fritz Wohlfahrt ran the previous cinema from Erlanger Straße 12 in Neukölln Hermannstraße 49 to the new Palast-Kino Stern (Ufa im Stern) built in 1925. Not Josef Umlauf as the cinematograph owner, but Conrad Umlauf (bookbinder, cinema owner) in Neukölln, Hermannstrasse 55 in 1913. 1913 in W 50 Neue Ansbacher Strasse 14 in the garden house Fritz Staar is named as a cafetier.

From 1914 Fritz Staar is registered as a movie theater owner with an apartment at Lauenburger Straße 4 on the first floor (the house is on the corner of Uhlandstraße 106). In the cinema address book, the name "Amor-Lichtspiele" at Uhlandstrasse 81 is recorded for 1917, the cinema owner Wilhelm Gentes lives in the house, the other partner, cinema owner Fritz Staar (with the note in the address book: "s. Gentes und Staar") still lives in Lauenburger Strasse 4. The "Amor-Lichtspiele" had 365 to 400 seats, there were daily screenings and program changes on Friday and Tuesday, five cinema musicians were used for the audience of 400 seats. From at least 1924 Fritz Staar operated the Lichtspiele temporarily as the sole partner. In 1927 the National-Film-Theater GmbH was temporarily owned by the Amor and other major Berlin cinemas. Fritz Staar is in charge of the Amor. Joachim Kühns is 1928 and Max Wehner is the managing director of Fritz Staar ("Fritz Staar film theater company") around 1930. In 1930, games were played in front of 375 places only three to four days a week. In 1930, sound film equipment was installed in the Amor Lichtspiele. In 1933, the entrance area was converted with lettering and neon lighting. Access was still from Uhlandstrasse through an anteroom with a cash register and the vestibule. The seating in the hall increased to 421 when the rear rows were rebuilt. In 1938 Herbert Zakogowski became, in 1938/1940 Heinz Splawski and from 1941 Robert Bauch became managing director of Fritz Staar.

The building and the cinema were destroyed in the air raids in 1943. The destruction lies in a 100-meter-wide strip facing east / west across Holsteinische / Uhland- / Pfalzburger Strasse towards the AOK hospital. Uhlandstrasse 80, 81 and 82 and the opposite ones 120, 121, 122 were badly affected. The six-storey gap building Uhlandstrasse 80/81 was built as a residential and commercial building on the cleared ruins in the 1950s, and residential building 82 followed at the beginning of the 1960s . The houses on both sides are (partially renovated) old buildings from the 1910s / 1920s. No remains have been preserved from the building of the cinema or cinema hall.

Berliner Strasse  163/164
1909-1966
The corner lot of the former Arkadia
The property at Berliner Straße 163/164 is located on the south side at the corner of Babelsberger Straße 52, opposite the junction with Jenaer Straße. The tradition of the cinema can be traced back to the cinematograph theater by Eduard Luft from 1909, who lived in N20 on Badstrasse. Eduard Luft ran a cinematograph theater on Potsdamer Strasse from 1907 until at least 1915 (Ortrud Wagner Theater). He also owned other cinema locations. The house at Babelsberger Straße 48 was only built in 1910. The property at Babelsberger Straße 52 / Berliner Straße 163/164 was the seat of the sculptor R. Schirmer with his workshop, the new building was added in 1913. The Schöneberger Feldmark was already behind the Berliner Strasse 165 (corner of Grunewaldstrasse). In 1911 Eduard Luft moved his apartment to Schöneberg Eisenacher Strasse 52, but still ran the theater on Potsdamer Strasse. Probably also the location at Babelsberger Straße 43, Fritz Staar named 1909 for the cinema address book as the year the Arkadia-Lichtspiele was founded.

In 1912, the twin house at Babelsberger Strasse 52 (including Berliner Strasse 163/164) was built by the sculptor R. Schirmer from Berlin, who previously had his workshop here. Eduard Luft established a cinema and apartment in Schöneberg. The Babelsberger / Berliner Straße house was probably not used as a cinema during the war years , especially since the “Lichtspiele Wittelsbach GmbH” had its headquarters at 165 Berliner Straße, although it was initially in liquidation from 1918 onwards.

From 1917 the businessman Herbert Polke lived in Wilmersdorf. In 1918 Polke owned a machine factory in Kreuzberg, in the following year Herbert Polke GmbH was incorporated as a steel goods factory in the newly created property 5a in 1918. Herbert Polke opened in 1919 in the Be rliner / Ba belsberger road 52, the "Beba Light Games," the merchant and manufacturer Polke lived Badensche Straße 13 I. floor, since 1922 in the second. Floor. The cinema had 227 seats and daily screenings with two changes of program per week. In 1920, the "Converta" Metallwarenfabrik und Apparatebau GmbH was located at Babelsberger Strasse 52, as a department of the artificial stone industry W. Henker & Co. in Neukölln. From 1921, 180 seats were specified for the cinema. There were 14 tenants in the tenement building at Babelsberger Strasse 52 owned by the property utilization company. Property 163/164 was named but has no residents / tenants. “Be-Ba Lichtspiele” was run by the businessman Herbert Polke, who entered the address book as director after 1925 until 1929. Fritz Staar, Lichtspiele, was already one of 18 tenants for Babelsberger Strasse 52 in 1928. In 1929 the "Herbert Polke Beba Film und Bühnenschau" (in the large Beba-Palast Atrium cinema) was recorded at Badensche Strasse 13, while the Arkadia light plays were already registered at Babelsberger Strasse 52. Herbert Polke is in 1927/28 with the Be-Ba-Lichtspiele Kaiserplatz 14, 200 places. Director Herbert Polke is the owner of the Beba-Palast Atrium cinema, which was 250 meters away and was newly built in 1926, at Kaiserallee 178 / Berliner Straße 155, with a stage and 2500 seats.

The small, 180-seat cinema hall of the “Be-Ba” was already expanded to 300 seats by Polke in 1927 and, in this state and size, was taken over by Fritz Staar as owner. While the merchant Polke took "his" name "BeBa" with him to the large cinema "Atrium", Staar used the name "Arkadia" for his cinema operations.
Notable among the residents of Babelsberger Strasse 52 is the actress Helene Weigel-Brecht .
Herbert Polke and his wife Gertrud Polke (née Rothgiesser) were deported to Riga on January 13, 1942. Herbert was murdered there in the Holocaust in December 1942, Gertrud was deported to the Stutthof concentration camp and survived, she died on June 6, 1986 in Berlin. In memory of the two , two stumbling blocks were laid on July 7, 2008 for Herbert and on March 19, 2014 for Gertrud at their last residential address, Stierstrasse 19 in Berlin-Friedenau .

The "Arkadia-Lichtspiele" existed until the 1960s under the leadership of the Berlin cinema family Staar. In the 1930 Reichs-Kino address book, Fritz Staar is listed as the owner and Friedrich Kessel as the director of the cinema. It had 379 seats and six cinema musicians accompanied the films, after there were screenings of films every day in 1929 and again in 1931, three to four game days were registered for 1930. Staar gave 1909 as the beginning of the cinema location at Berliner Straße 163/164, but from 1937 onwards he gave 1920. A sound film facility from Klangfilm was available from 1931, the number of seats rose to 400. Hugo Michaelis was the managing director of Arkadia-Lichtspiele until 1940 and Walter Lüdke from 1941, which had 380 seats from the mid-1930s. Two houses down in Berliner Strasse 166, Staar also owned the Wittelsbach Palace .

The street corner of Berliner / Babelsberger Strasse with the cinema location was spared war damage, Fritz Staar remained the owner of this and other cinemas beyond the end of the war in 1945 . The cinema was temporarily taken over by the theater administration of the US troops, but was returned to the Fritz Staar Theaterbetriebe (which already ran eight theaters before the war) by 1949 at the latest. As the owner and manager, Staar converted the cinema in 1950/1951 with a spacious foyer, wall paneling made of Limba wood and upholstered seats. "1951: Opening of Arkadia-Lichtspiele, Berlin-Wilmersdorf, owner Fritz Staar, redesign and renovation by the architects Kurfiss and Siebenrock." () In Arkadia there were 22 performances per week with daily operation for 379 spectators. The film was shown with an Ernemann VIIB device, an amplifier Europa-Junior from Klarton and a slide device with sound. “Fritz Staar joins the group of senior citizens of German movie theater owners. He was 75 on May 16. He has worked tirelessly in the industry for 43 years. Fritz Staars love for Berlin and his belief in the existence of the embattled city can hardly be more clearly documented than the fact that after losing most of his theater park he returned to work in Berlin. The Arkadia-Lichtspiele are a jewel case, the Meraner-Lichtspiele could be bought back, and on May 1st of this year the Lumina-Lichtspiele in Schlachtensee were added. We know of the trust and respect that Fritz Staar is shown by his colleagues and employees. We sincerely wish the pioneer of the theater industry all the best. ”() Elisabeth Albrecht ran the business from 1953 at the latest until it closed, and H. J. Bleck was named for 1956. From 1957, in addition to the Ernemann projection machine, Uniphon amplifiers and loudspeakers from the sound film "Gloria-Komb" were entered in 21 performances, the upholstered seating came from Behre. After Fritz Staar disappeared, Eva Staar became the owner of the "Fritz Staar Film Theater Company" from 1957. There was no change to wide-screen technology in the cinema directory. The cinema ended in 1966. A supermarket followed in the further use of the cinema rooms.

The corner house Berliner / Babelsberger Straße, renovated in 2014, is a five-storey residential / commercial building on the ground floor with business premises for the retail facility ( Plus , 2009 Netto, since 2013 Bio-Company) and an attic, apartment buildings. for which essential cinema elements had been removed. "As you can see in the picture, nothing [2000] reminds you of the film theater past." The discounter at Babelsberger Strasse 52 was replaced in 2013 by the organic supermarket. “The branch moved into the premises of a former discounter and heavily rebuilt it. During the construction work, the fragments of a former cinema also emerged, as the 'Arkadia Lichtspiele' resided here from 1920 to the 1960s. A rediscovered, old ceiling ornament could be restored in detail. A lot of work for the craftsmen and architects: in some cases, the original form of the foyer was 'peeled off' and large shop windows that stretched to the floor were used again. The team was able to restore a rediscovered, old ceiling ornament in loving detail. The former cinema entrance, which was moved back to the corner, was also a structural challenge. "()

Uhlandstrasse  75
1910-1945
BW
The elongated cinema room of the "Metropol-Lichtspiele" was created in 1912 by converting a shop. The year the cinema was founded is also given in the cinema address book as 1909, and there is no suitable reference in the Berlin address book. According to the entries in the cinema address book from 1920 to 1910, it can be assumed that the shop cinema had existed since 1910. In the Berlin address book, F. Zadrafil is listed among the Wilmersdorf traders with cinematographic ideas for 1913 and 1914. For the following year, 18 tenants were registered, among which Zadrafil is missing. In the 1916/3364 residents' section, however, the draftsman Franz Zadrafil is noted with the address W30 Neue Winterfeldtstrasse 34 Hinterhaus. The cinema address book lists Ms. Elise Cohn from Friedenau as the owner of the Metropol-Lichtspiele with 150 seats for Uhlandstrasse in 1918. In 1920 Kurt Wagner was the owner of the "Uhland-Lichtspiele", for which he stated that there were 145 officially occupied seats every day. W. Gerdsmann (when it opened in 1920) is already listed as the owner of the Astoria-Lichtspiel-Theater in the addendum to 1920: daily performances with 180 seats. The owner of the Astoria-Theater (Güntzelecke) changed again to Alphons Müller in 1921 until 1927. The actor Charles Willy Kayser was at least 1928 owner / partner for the cinema at Uhlandstraße 75, which was known as “Charles Willy Kayser Kammer-Lichtspiele” under the name of a popular Berlin actor. The cinema has the program change on Friday and Tuesday and films were shown daily at 150 seats, for which one or two cinema musicians set the tone. From 1928 to 1930 CA Beha (at the time Lugano) was the owner of the “Astoria-Lichtspiele”, which Theodor Heyde ran on site. In 1931 A. Ullmann and Frieda Oberpichler took over the cinema and installed the sound film equipment in 1932. After 1935 there was another change of ownership to Erna Meusel, from 1938 Dr. Hofmann partner and in 1940 Charlotte Kraemer-Riebe became owner of the Astoria-Lichtspiele. On February 3, 1945, the cinema was destroyed by the effects of the war and burned out. The corner of Uhlandstrasse and Güntzelstrasse was cleared and in the 1960s a six-storey corner house was built on Güntzelstrasse with seven floors and a supermarket on the ground floor. There are no longer any connections to the former cinema location.

The "Be-Ba-Palast Atrium" was built in 1926/1927 according to the designs by Friedrich Lipp, the architectural decorations came from Georg Leschnitzer. ( Kaiserallee 178 at the corner of Berliner Straße 155/156) “On the corner lot, four- to six-storey, circular segment-shaped masonry building based on the model of the Roman Colosseum with a three-tiered attic and a front entrance area. Uniform, vertical structure through pilasters, balconies and windows. Generous forecourt. Acute-angled cinema hall, semicircular stage, retractable orchestra pit; Rank with boxes up to the stage frame; Far more seats in rank than in the parquet. ”() The client was Herbert Polke, who previously owned the Beba-Lichtspiele in the corner of Berlin and Babelsberger Strasse. With the Beba film and stage show, he opened a large cinema with 2025 seats, which opened in 1926 at Kaiserallee 178. With 1100 in the balcony there were more seats than the 925 in the parquet, the hall had back wall boxes in the tier and in the parquet, as well as boxes on the parapet. A stage and an orchestra pit were built in, the sound film was not yet commercially available at the opening and the Welte cinema organ was built in. The curtain was made of gold-yellow silk plush and the hall in gold and red tones, so the seating was made of mahogany wood with cardinal red fabric. There was an illuminated dome over the hall. For the silent film performances, 24 cinema musicians were employed, they had a trench in front of the stage measuring 10 m × 9.5 m. The owner Herbert Polke was the first owner, Luis Gutmann became its managing director. In 1929 Fritz Staars "United Lichtspiele Wilmersdorf und Potsdam GmbH" became the tenant and from 1930 the "Berliner Lichtspieltheater AG" took over the cinema from Fritz Staar. The managing directors were successively Alexander Grohmann (1930), Hauptmann (1931-1933) and finally Willi Neumann (1934). The latter remained with the change of ownership to “Atrium Staar & Lemke”, Hugo Lemke in turn owned other cinemas in Schöneberg and Steglitz. The sound film facility was installed by Klangfilm in 1931. From the mid-1930s, places are still given in 1983.

During the air raids on Berlin in 1943, the building was badly damaged by bombs and burned down. The lower part of the facade had remained standing, but the destruction was too heavy and the ruins were removed in 1953. In 1950 the Kaiser- in Bundesallee was renamed. By 1961, the southeast corner of the intersection was generously built with a five-story residential line at Bundesallee 178/179 and Berliner Strasse 155, and an eleven-story high-rise building at Berliner Strasse 156. In front of it is an entrance to the Berliner Straße underground station . In the 1960s, the Bundesallee was placed in a car tunnel, underpassing Berliner Strasse and Badensche Strasse, which is more southerly.

Wilmersdorf
Bundesplatz  14
since 1913
Entrance area (2013)
The cinema was set up in 1913 with 230 seats as a shop cinema in a residential building and opened under the name "Lichtspiele Kaiserplatz" with the address Kaiserplatz 14. Wexstraße 31 also belonged to the corner house. The Berlin address book shows the photographer J. Brage with cinematographic presentations in Wilmersdorf called in the Kaiserallee 12a, the Kaiserplatz 14 with eleven tenants, but no reference to the cinema. Proof of the location is available in the cinema address book, where the owner Paul Blank from Friedenau named 1919 as the year of the opening for his casino light games with 200 seats, daily performances and two program changes per week. In 1921 the "Leo Lazarsfeldt & Co." based at Augsburger Straße 28 is the owner before the cinema owner Herbert Polke and E. Wolff (around 1924) run the cinema, which probably also used its brand name BeBa here, so the cinema was called " Beba light games ”. In 1929 Mrs. Marie Snopkoff took over the cinema as "Lichtspiele Kaiserplatz" with 225 seats and again indicated the founding year as 1913. For them, Dipl.-Ing. Ernst Nietner the cinema on site.

When Kurth & Dreyer became cinema owners in 1932, the sound film equipment from Kinoton with a “mechanical music system” was installed. From 1935 until the post-war years, the "Polygon-Lichtspiel-Betriebe Schönstedt & Co. (KG)" continued to run the cinema. This operating company owned by W. Schönstedt owns further cinemas in Wilmersdorf, Steglitz and Schöneberg. 216 cinema seats are given for daily screenings. After minor war damage, the cinema was reopened in May 1945. Only in 1948 was A. Kürschner named as the owner. 1950 E. Sittner is the managing director of the Polygon-Lichtspielbetriebe Schönstedt & Co. KG. There were three performances a day. The cinema technology was the Ernemann II projector, sound film amplifier and the slide equipment. Since the Kaiserplatz was renamed Bundesplatz in 1950 , the cinema has been called "Bundesplatz-Lichtspiele". In 1957 the technology was improved and supplemented: loudspeakers and amplifiers from sound film, Erko projection apparatus (light source: pure coal) and sounding Dia-N, in addition to three daily matinee / late night performances. The seating is 216 high upholstered armchairs from Kamphöner.

From the 1960s until July 2011, the cinema was run by Lothar Bellmann (Bundesplatz-Studio Kinobetrieb GmbH), who still owned the nearby Cosima (Schöneberg, Sieglindestraße 10). Due to the original size of 200 seats, later rebuilt to 100 seats and 26 m², the small Kiezkino received the name "Bundesplatz Studio" if there was a corresponding film offer. October 23, 2011, the new operators Karlheinz Opitz, Peter Latta and Martin Erlenmaier reopened the 90-seat cinema after a three-month general overhaul. Since then, there has been Dolby Surround technology and a café in the anteroom. The “Bundesplatz Kino” is run by cinema fans: owner of Eva Lichtspiele Karlheinz Opitz, curator of German film series Martin Erlenmaier and former employee of the Deutsche Kinemathek Peter Latta. The seats come from the former zoo palace. During the renovation in 2011, the entrance to the cinema was changed by inserting a partition wall to the left of the screen, which means that late-arriving visitors no longer enter the hall directly next to the screen, but from the side, and noise and light from the foyer are largely prevented. The formerly brown wall covering was replaced by dark blue fabric covering. The canvas is new and has a red curtain for different picture formats. The rose-colored folding armchairs are 'old friends' from room 1 of the “UCI Kinowelt Zoo Palast” and are still used here. The hall was transformed into a cozy Kiezkino cinema in which you can not only see the latest sophisticated films, but also rediscover old films for children in addition to the so-called historical film series and classics. The facade remained unchanged during the renovation, so the old Bundesplatz Studio logo hangs over the letters and the program of the neighbor “Cosima” is pointed out, like all the years before. In summer there are flower pots along the entrances, café chairs and tables take up the left part of the open space. There is a small library of movie books in the foyer café. Access is handicapped accessible. The admission prices in 2015 are € 8 for adults, € 7 for concessions, € 5 for children up to 12 years of age and € 4.50 on Wednesday cinema day. The cinema offers 88 seats, the projection can take place in digital 4K or 35mm analog , for the sound there is Dolby Digital 5.1 and the screen is 5.2 m × 2.2 m. The films on offer are dubbed and original versions in the sense of an art house cinema .

The Schaubühne , located opposite Lehniner Platz on property 153, belongs to the Wilmersdorf district, whereas Kurfürstendamm 152, with the former “ Kammerlichtspiele ”, belongs to Halensee. In 1928 the architect Erich Mendelsohn built the “Universum” cinema building as part of the “Woga complex” Kurfürstendamm / Cicerostraße. on the Kürfürstendamm a little set back on Lehniner Platz. The auditorium held 1276 in the stalls and 487 in tier, so a total of 1763 seats. There was a rectangular cinema hall with a circumferential tier and mahogany cladding of the parquet, the modern indirect lighting at that time. The large cinema was operated by the Ufa-Theater-Betriebs-GmbH as a premiere theater , but in 1931 it was converted to a reprise cinema due to a lack of spectators . With the development of the sound film, a sound film facility was installed by Klangfilm in 1932.

Willy Hein bought the large cinema from UFA in 1937 and operated it under his name “Luxor Palast” with daily film screenings in 1,784 seats. In 1943, the “Halensee Palast” was rebuilt so that the Scala variety theater , whose own house was bombed in the air raids, could play on the 80 m² stage . On September 1, 1944, all cinemas were closed on Goebbels's instructions . The building was badly damaged in 1945 by bomb damage and the subsequent fire. In April 1946 Johannes Betzel reopened the cinema as a UFA tenant. In 1948, after two years of construction, the former ticket hall and staircase were converted into the “Studio Premiere Stage”. And the “ Capitol ” with 900 seats was created in the reduced cinema hall .

“The new premiere cinema 'Studio', the fourth that the 'Eagle-Lion' now has on Kurfürstendamm, should actually open by Christmas. [...] It is the cleverly developed box office of the old 'Luxor Palace' (formerly 'Universum'), once one of the largest and most beautiful Berlin cinemas, which the architect Erich Mendelssohn built at the end of the twenty years. Right behind the screen of the theater [...] is what used to be a huge auditorium and [1948] is a ruin. You want to build it up again if the Berlin ascent continues to move forward so quickly. Film bon vivant Erich Fiedler strode fashionably and confidently through the rows of the parquet, greeted the guests, a glass of 32 percent allotment schnapps in hand, and emptied it for the prosperity of the house. […] The 'Studio' opened with Nicholas Nickleby after Charles Dickens “The Halensee Studio with 355 seats belonged to Johannes Betzel, and Ronald Forte gave several performances every day. The slightly modified facade was repaired in 1951/1952 by the architect Anton Zimmer. Miss H. Grieschy became managing director and there are now 382 places and three daily performances. The theater license existed for the 4 m × 3 m × 3.5 m stage. In 1957 Gerhard Fritsche converted to a wide screen, this was done with managing director Fritz Schmischke and the tenants Johannes Betzel and Jochen Fröhner at the "O.-Gilde-Theater-Gesellschaft". The necessary technology for CinemaScope single-channel magnetone consists of the Nitzsche-Matador Ib projection apparatus, sound film amplifiers and loudspeakers, and the playback was in the format 1: 2.35. The seating was 380 high upholstered armchairs from Kamphöner. In 1958, Annemarie Stoldt and the tenants Johannes and Gizella Betzel became the managing director of the “Studio”, and from 1960 Gertrud Prause. The small cinema studio was still used until 1962. In the former cinema of the “Luxor Palace”, which had been reduced in size due to the war damage, Johannes Betzel opened the “Capitol” in 1950 as a tenant of UFA, led by Paul Nieke. The renovation of the existing cinema hall with 899 seats was carried out by Hermann Fehling. Wall covering with a diamond-shaped quilted glass wool backing (pleated underneath the tier), a black ceiling with embedded, irregularly distributed, differently sized light points and oval wall showcases are incunables of early 1950s architecture. The "Broadway of Berlin" was created between Halensee and Tauentzien. The Capitol had 899 seats and two performances a day; there was also a theater license and an opera concession for the 12 m × 5.5 m × 7 m stage. From 1953 Fritz Kuske runs Betzel's Capitol and organizes three daily shows, the demonstration machine is supplemented by two Lorenz amplifiers 75 watts, slide equipment with sound. The area between Halensee and Tauentzien became the “Broadway of Berlin” with theaters and cinemas. In 1956, Hans Joachim Bunar was managing director at the Capitol and is replaced by Fritz Schmischke. The conversion to wide screen is carried out by Gerhard Fritsche . The possible image and sound systems were Perspecta 3-channel, SuperScope with a screen of 5 m × 10 m. For CinemaScope in optical sound and four-channel magnetic sound, there was the AEG apparatus Euro G (light source: pure coal and Becklicht), the sound film sound technology for reproduction of 1: 2.35 and 1: 2.55. 899 high upholstered armchair from Kamphöner. Johannes Betzel is a tenant at UFA and Harri Kapahnke ran the Capitol. In 1959 the Capitol is taken over by an American company with a 50% UfA stake and converted into a Cinerama cinema, with the rank being restored. The first Cinerama Theater in Germany began on April 29, 1959 with the premiere of This is Cinerama with seven-channel magnetic sound. In 1963/1964 the window front on the upper floor was restored as there were plans to put the building under monument protection. In 1964, Kino took over Johannes Betzel again and converted it for Cinemascope .

With the number of visitors declining ( cinema crisis ), a Beatlokal was opened in the Capitol in 1968, which in 1969 was further converted into a musical theater. In 1973 the "Studio" with Stanley Kubrick's Orange Clockwork also ceased operations. In 1975 the Capitol's license was withdrawn. When it was considered to demolish the building, the Schaubühne became interested in the property. The interior of the Schaubühne was rebuilt by Jürgen Sawade and began in 1975. In 1976 the Senate bought the property for six million DM. However, the damage to the building was serious. The roof and the right side will be torn down and only the front facade will remain of the original building and the monument preservation authority has criticized it heavily. The cost of the renovation totaled 81 million DM. The Mendelsohn building has been a listed building since 1979. The actual renovation began in 1978. The Schaubühne has been playing in the new Mendelsohn building on Lehniner Platz since 1981 .

BW
In the cinema address books from 1920 onwards, the later owners indicated the year 1910 as the beginning of cinema performances at Uhlandstrasse 48, and film screenings have probably already been held. In May 1912, the owner of the house at Uhlandstrasse 48 at the corner of Pariser Strasse Hugo Seligsohn applied for a cinematograph theater to be set up on the ground floor. Four shops along Pariser Straße provided the floor plan for the auditorium, which was given an entrance on the corner of Uhlandstraße. On August 9, 1913, the "Corso Lichtspiele" announced their opening. In 1917 a cinema theater was specified for Uhlandstraße 48, at this point in time the businessman Hugo Seligsohn was still the owner of the house, but he was no longer marked as "legally registered". In the cinema address book for 1920, the K orso light games with daily screenings and 227 seats for the owner Richard Filsch from Friedenau are specified and in 1921 Richard Kahnemann is the owner of the C orso light games. In 1924 the game was played three to four days a week, the owner (after the inflationary years ) was Mrs. Bertha Schwarzkopf while C. Schwarzkopf ran the business. From 1926 daily screenings and 230 seats were registered again, Bertha Schwarzkopf subsequently became a private owner and in 1927 the cinema belonged to the businessman Heinrich Windler, in 1928 Max Wolff became the owner of the Corso-Lichtspiele. Wolff ordered two cinema musicians to provide acoustic support for the silent films, which were played daily for viewers with 205 to 220 seats. In 1932 Klangfilm acquired the sound film equipment. In 1934 Gustav Kurth took over the cinema and after him Otto Dannenberg and Käthe Schulz ran the Corso-Lichtspiele during the war years . Under these performance conditions, the corner house and the cinema were destroyed by bombs in 1943, while the neighboring houses were only slightly damaged. In the 1950s, the ruins on the northwest corner of Uhland- / Pariser Strasse were cleared. At the end of the 1950s, a five-story residential building with shops on the ground floor was built on this property. There is no tracing back to the cinema system.

The first films were shown in the shop cinema at Spichernstrasse 20 as early as 1912 (or probably as early as 1909, as the later cinema owners entered in the cinema address book), but it was only approved for tax purposes from 1914. The "Deutsche Lichtspiel-Theater" by Ms. Auguste Dadien had 250 (officially registered) seats, the programs of the daily screenings of silent films changed twice a week. The entry prices for 1917 are 0.35 ... 1.20 marks. In 1927 the National-Film-Theater GmbH became the owner. In 1928 Fritz Staar was the leaseholder of the cinema from Ms. Auguste Dadien, in the following year Staar took over the ownership rights to the "Deutsches Lichtspiel-Theater", from 1931 the name is "Deutsche Lichtspiele". In the address book for the cinema there are 292 seats, daily performances and to a musician. The founding year for the cinema address book was listed by Ms. Dadien in 1920, initially beginning in 1915, then "since 1909". From the 1930 edition, the foundation for 1912 is in the cinema address book, from the 1937 edition the year began with Listed in 1913.

In 1930 Fritz Staar appointed the managing director Hermann Lehmann, this year only gave performances 3–4 days a week. In 1931, Klangfilm installed the sound film facility and the cinema was back in daily operation. With Fritz Staar as the cinema owner of Deutsche Lichtspiele, Hugo Michaelis is its managing director from 1934, Horst Nickel in 1939, Gernot Schultz in 1940 and Gustav Brose from 1941. The entire square on both sides of Spichernstrasse as far as Nürnberger Platz was destroyed in World War II, which meant that the cinema building was also wiped out and cinema operations became impossible. The rubble on the ruins was cleared after the end of the war. On the southeast side of Spichernstrasse, a row of residential buildings was built in the late 1950s. The opposite side of the street and on Nürnberger Platz followed with residential and commercial buildings in the 1960s. There are three stumbling blocks (Benno, Ellen and Margarete Jonas) on the property at Spichernstrasse 20 .

Entrance (2015)
The Augusta Street was called from 1937 Stenzel street and was named in July 1947 in Blissestraße, with the accompanying renumbering of land has the cinema's current address: Blissestraße 18. The property was built 1912th It is not far from the Wilhelmsaue (Volkspark Wilmersdorf) in the center of the district. Theater director Felix Wespe had already started cinematographic performances in the shop cinema in the new building at Uhlandstrasse 89/90 in 1910 . He left this venue in 1912 in favor of the new location and moved to Augustastraße 7, one reason could have been differences in the change of the old house owner after a Deutsche Bank branch moved there.

“It is difficult to sketch the history of Eva Lichtspiele, because unfortunately not much is known about the hundred years of their existence.” “One of these residential buildings was built at Augustastraße 7 in 1913, the ground floor of which was set up for the purpose of a cinema from the start . At first the cinema was called "Roland-Lichtspiele"; In the early 1920s, the operator at the time renamed it "Eva-Lichtspiele" after his wife and is still called that around 90 years later. At that time the Eva was one of the first cinemas in Wilmersdorf, today it is one of the oldest still in use in all of Berlin. The nine cinema operators up to now have always tried to adapt to the latest state of taste and technology, without luckily all traces of the past being erased. Therefore, the furnishings from the 1950s are still preserved, of which the neon lettering on the house wall and the cloud curtain in front of the screen are particularly eye-catching and make this cinema so attractive. In 1992, the old wooden stalls were replaced by more comfortable seats, which at the same time led to a reduction in the number of seats from 330 to 250. The films have been shown digitally since 2011. From 1964-2000 Hannelore Rojahn was the operator of the cinema. After 2000, the cinema was run for a few years by Dirk Pohlmann, who had previously been the projectionist at Eva. [1] Karlheinz Opitz has headed the Eva since the end of 2006. "()

Felix Wespe had been the owner of the “Roland Lichtspiele” since the opening of the “Roland Lichtspiele” through the construction of the house with the cinema, through the war years until 1921. The cinema had 300 seats (officially confirmed seats listed in the cinema directory). The silent film program was played "all week". Waspe gave up the light shows in 1921 and the cinema was probably renovated with new house owners. After making his own entry in the cinema directory, Alfred Löwenthal became the cinema owner from this point on. The cinema has since been called Eva-Lichtspiele. “In addition to cinema films, there were also film screenings on the subject of marriage hygiene at the Eva Lichtspiele in 1924 , combined with a“ generally understandable medical lecture ”about what everyone needs to know about marriage! That's what it says in a newspaper advertisement from that time. ”At the suggestion of the operator, the films were presented with musical accompaniment - first by a violinist, and according to the cinema directory, three cinema musicians were employed. There were two new programs per week, a stage was specified as 2 m × 4 m (also 4.5 m × 2 m × 2.8 m). From 1928, following the spirit of the times, there was a film and stage show, and the installation of a second projection device enabled non-stop film playback. The performances were accompanied by an entire orchestra for the (at full capacity) 310 spectators. From 1931, Dipl.-Ing. Joseph Steinberg ran the cinema, Georg Steinberg ran his business. The sound film came into the cinemas since 1930. An installed sound film device with “mechanical music” from 1934 onwards has been recorded for Eva in the cinema address book. In this year the "Polygon" Lichtspielbetriebe GmbH of Walter Schönstedt (temporarily called Schönstedt & Co.) became the owner of the cinema. Schönstedt again entered 1913 as the year of the opening. The address of Eva-Lichtspiele changed to Stenzelstraße 18 in 1937 , by renaming and changing the lot numbers. The capacity is indicated with 332, also 322 places by the "Polygon-Lichtspiel-Betriebe Schönstedt & Co. KG". From September 1944, the Eva-Lichtspiele were also affected by the Goebbels decree on closure. While the corner house on Mannheimer Strasse and the buildings opposite were destroyed in the war , the houses on Wilhelmsaue remained almost undamaged. The operation of the cinema was able to be maintained almost continuously. For 1949, the cinema directory names G. Leudner as the “owner”, but the following are still the Polygon-Lichtspiel-Betriebe Schönstedt & Co. KG. There were three performances every day, a theater license and the Ernemann II projection device, sound film amplifier and slide equipment for playback. The Bauer B6 projection apparatus was available from 1953. E. Sittner was the managing director of Eva. In 1957, UFA-Handel distributed the equipment for the CinemaScope picture and sound system throughout Berlin and converted the building. The neon lettering on the facade and the gold-colored cloud curtain in front of the canvas have been preserved until now. The technology of the Eva-Lichtspiele was suitable for single-channel optical sound and the film format 1: 2.35. For the 333 seats there were high upholstered armchairs from Kamphön. The matinee and late night performances were added. The slide demonstration was possible with sound.

In 1964, the cinema went to Hannelore Rojahn (12349 Berlin, Drusenheimer Weg 7), she had already operated cinemas that had been closed (Friedrichshain: Tempo-Lichtspiele; Neukölln: Luna-Lichtspiele). She led the cinema through the times of the cinema crisis and thought of giving up. The breakthrough came with Amadeus in the mid-1980s and the cinema became profitable. Rojahn invested in cinema equipment such as curtains and furniture. It stayed that way until 2000, when the hall was redesigned to reduce the number of seats from 300 to 250 and the sound was switched to Dolby Surround (from 1997: DTS ). After her, Dirk Pohlmann ran the cinema from 2000, who was previously the projectionist in the house. Despite his commitment as a film lover, he had to give up. Karl-Heinz Opitz took over in September 2006 and invested in getting the cinema back in shape. The films have been screened digitally since 2011, which has completely changed the role of the screener. His concept is a Kiez & spy; kino, especially for visitors from the neighborhood. On Wednesdays there is a series of “The Old German Film” with almost unknown German-language films from the 1930s and 1940s, and before that a piece of cake and coffee. Some stars from bygone film times answered questions from the audience and gave autographs. Since 2010, the Eva-Lichtspiele have also hosted the “ Berlinale goes Kiez ” among the Kiez cinemas. The Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg recorded several times the Wilmersdorf Eva-Lichtspiele as a cinema in Berlin. On Sunday there is a matinee mainly with current documentaries, on the third Sunday of the month there is a “cinema brunch” as well as performances for kindergartens and schools.

The equipment currently consists of a screen of 4 m × 9 m in front of 250 seats in 20 rows, the projection digital in D-Cinema 2K or analog 35mm and the sound is output with Dolby Digital 5.1 . In addition to a bar, the foyer offers a few café tables as seating and since the operator is often at the cash register, the atmosphere is family-run. The cinema celebrated its 100th anniversary in June 2013 with vintage cars in front of the door and the film Die Reise zum Mond (Journey to the Moon) from 1902 on an old Skladanowsky device with a hand crank and with piano accompaniment.

In 1910 at the corner of Lauenburger Strasse (since 1947: Fechnerstrasse) there was still a coal field on the property at Gasteiner Strasse 26 and 27 was intended for development, in 1911 a construction site for the city of Wilmersdorf was built on 26/27, in 1912 the residential building was built. According to the Reichs-Kino-Adreßbuch (third year 1921/1922), the cinema was opened in 1912 and therefore already set up in the new building of the residential building. The cinema with almost 200 seats was called GLU-Lichtspiele until 1926 and there were daily screenings. According to the documents in the address book, businessman Josef Umlauf was the owner of the cinema theater on Gasteiner Straße. Several times in business with cinematographic performances and with cinematograph theater, his residence was not at Gasteiner Straße 26. For a short time Konrad Umlauf (brother?) Was probably responsible for the cinema. According to the cinema address book, Josef Umlauf was still the owner in 1918, while Adolf Schwarz was the managing director of the latter in 1920: Margarete Müller in 1920 and Paul Drews in 1921. In 1922 Hans Laskus was the owner of GLU-Lichtspiele and lived in the corner house on Lauenburger Straße . In 1924/1925 the cinema is stated as “currently closed”. In 1926, the actor Charles Willy Kayser, who was popular at the time, invested the venue and named it “Charles Willy Kayser-Lichtspiele”. This movie theater was initially designated with 100 seats, later also with 148, 194 and 200 seats, there were daily performances, the house had a stage of 4 x 6 m.

Herbert Peter and Hans Vieweg took over the cinema at Gasteiner Straße 26 from Kayser in 1931 and initially kept the personal name until 1936. In 1932, Hans Vieweg was managing director and owner, and the sound film equipment was installed by Kinoton. First they set up a cinema theater on Gasteiner Strasse in 1920 as the year it was founded, and from 1912 they entered 1912 in the cinema address book. The 180-seat cinema remains in the possession of Wieweg and was named in Filmsck by him in 1936, probably when he himself moved his residence to this house. The Vieweg cinema on Gasteiner Strasse was destroyed in the air raids on Berlin. The entire corner development from Gasteiner Strasse to Berliner Strasse was affected. On the property there is a seven-storey block of flats in a closed construction with a roof terrace and a corner shop on the building that merges into Fechnerstrasse 6 / 6a. Built at the end of the 1960s, there is no longer any reference to the residential building with the Lichtspiele Gasteiner Straße 26 / Laubenheimer Straße 2a. The previous building boundaries were maintained, so the triangular square to the west in front of the corner house was restored.

In 1959 the "Filmtheaterbetriebe Heinz Viehweg KG" replaced Thurnaus. Due to the falling number of visitors and the poor financial situation, Viehweg closed the cinema at the PaLi. After 20 years of use as a furniture store, Franz Stadler (Filmkunst 66) opened the "Graffiti" on May 9, 1984, as an arthouse cinema with 164 seats in the residential and commercial building in 10707 Berlin, Pariser Strasse 44.

In 1937 the theater was built according to plans by the architect Fritz Wilms , who was also responsible for the rebuilding in 1949. The building at Hohenzollerndamm 29 at the corner of Sächsische Straße 30 with the cinema was destroyed in the war. The cinema existed under this name from 1937 until it was destroyed and from 1949 to 1967 after its reconstruction. "The 'Kleine Lichtspielhaus' near Fehrbelliner Platz in Berlin, which was destroyed during the war and provisionally rebuilt in 1947, appears in a festive new look. Mr. Hugo Körver not only renovated it, but also had many technical improvements made. "()

Hans Rehm opened the "Kleine Lichtspielhaus" as the owner on February 3, 1937. There were 390 seats and daily performances. In the course of 1940 Curt Haupt and Ernst Schumann became the cinema owners, Heinz Preuße ran their business. The operation of the film theater was interrupted by the war's destruction.

With the help of the UFA trade, the CinemaScope picture and sound system in optical sound with the format 1: 2.35 was introduced. There were 366 high upholstered armchairs from Schröder & Henzelmann. The Kleines Lichtspielhaus defied the cinema crisis with falling audience numbers and financial difficulties until the mid-1960s.

The cinema existed from 1937 until it was destroyed, and after it was rebuilt, it was used until 1967. The building, built by Philipp Schaefer between 1936 and 1937, is a listed building and has been preserved; the cinema was used as a supermarket after it was closed.

The stage for photography was briefly in a restaurant in the corner building at Augustastraße 1. The building at Augustastraße 2 was built in 1909, registered as a new building for the Korte & Liskow construction company. From 1910 the “Lichtbilderbühne” (probably) moved into the premises of Augustastraße 2 as a shop cinema . The operator and owner was Ernst Hannowsky. In 1910 and 1911 he was accepted by the Wilmersdorfer tradesmen with his cinema theater. Before that, he was probably not a citizen of Berlin, or at least he was not living in Berlin. According to the Berlin address book, Ernst Hannowsky was in 1910: Cinema owner with the apartment in Gartenhaus III. Stock at Holsteinische Strasse 46, recorded for 1911 as a cinema owner and innkeeper with an apartment at Augustastrasse 1, which also included the property at Berliner Strasse 129. The photo stage itself is not included, as only companies registered by the commercial court were named as tenants and in the residents' area, which at that time would not have been common for a shop cinema. From 1912 Ernst Hannowsky is a plumber (and electrician) in Wilmersdorf with the address Holsteinische Straße 51 Gartenhaus III. Called floor (the change of house number from 46 to 51 resulted from newly added lots). In addition, from 1912 the innkeeper Pauline Gützlaff has been admitted to Augustastraße 1 and M. Ramme Rabitzputz also lives in Holsteinische Straße 51 (Hannowsky). In addition, the plumber Ernst Hannowsky (1916/1000) is still registered after the war years (1920/941) and the inflation years (1930/1118) at Holsteinische Strasse 51 IV floor.

The tenement houses on the corner of Augusta and Berliner Strasse were bombed during World War II. In 1947 Augustastraße was given the name Blissestraße, after it was called Stenzelstraße in 1937 when it was changed from horseshoe to reciprocal numbering until 1947. The west side (even house numbers) of Blissestraße between Wilhelmsaue and Berliner Straße was rebuilt in the 1960s (1962 to 1974), so that the traces of the cinema location were built over. There is a modern commercial building on the Blissestraße 2–6 property on Berliner Straße at the Blissestraße subway exit . The corner building on the Wilhelmsaue is addressed as Wilhelmsaue 28.

Even before 1905, the “Grand Halls of the West” were located at Spichernstrasse 3, with the room owner Carl Stechert as the owner, and the house was inhabited by 13 tenants (Scripture, merchants). The company was registered in the commercial court. The merchant Salo Rappaport lived in Charlottenburg Friedbergstrasse 31. In 1908/1909, the merchant Salo Rappaport owned a cinematograph in Charlottenburg. In 1910, Rappaport wanted to move its cinematograph theater to the Wilmersdorfer Saal von Stechert.

"Berlin. 'Lichtspielkunst' is the name of a new cinematographic company that is being set up by Director Salo Rappaport in the Prachtsaal des Westens, Spichernstrasse. The theater, which is to hold 1200 people, is built in an elegant, modern style by the architect Arnold v. Goedicke executed. Construction has already started; the opening is to take place on December 1st [2010]. ”() Salo Rappaport has been listed in the Berlin address book for 1910 with the cinematograph theater“ Licht-Schauspiele ”in Spichernstrasse 3. According to the address book, two locations in Charlottenburg remained and Samuel Rappaport is also registered with a cinematograph theater in S 42. For the year 1911 in Spichernstrasse 3, hall owner Stechert recorded the "Magnificent Halls of the West", which in connection with the report in the "Kinematograph" (the "Licht-Schauspiele" would be ready in December) means that the performances (probably) as part of the program there. Salo Rapport is listed as a businessman with his apartment at Gerviniusstrasse 6 in the Berlin address book and has probably suspended his cinema activities. In 2011, M. Eckert's Biophon-Theater was added to Charlottenburg Berliner Straße 107 and the S. Moritz department store for Goethepark 26, and Paul Rappaport's women's hat factory in Alexandrinenstraße 97 in the 1st rear building, III. Floor. Carl Stechert lived as the owner of the "Carl Stechert Prachtsäle des Westens" in his own house in the III. Stock and in 1912 the widow Ida is the owner. The property belongs to Allgemeine Immobilienkaufs-Ges.mbH Kochstrasse 16/17, which was given to “Spichernstrasse” in 1919 at the latest. Property GmbH ". While Ida Stechert lived in the house as the owner of the Grand Halls of the West until 1925. The ballrooms were transferred to Spichersäle GmbH in 1925. According to research by allekinos.com, the light shows in Spichernstr. 3 at Nürnberger Platz from 1910–1933. It can be assumed, however, that the operation as a cinematograph theater ended in 1913 at the latest. Especially according to the evidence, it cannot be ruled out that - as elsewhere - film screenings took place in the ballrooms. Members of the Rappaport family did not work in the fixed cinema venues during the early years.

The buildings on Spichernstrasse, including No. 3, were badly damaged by the air raids. After the ruins were cleared at the end of the 1950s, the northwest side of Spichernstrasse was rebuilt in the early 1970s. The former cinema location on plot 3 was included in the new construction of the multi-storey business and office building Spichernstrasse 2 (address also 2-3), which has a triangular (hall) extension at the rear. The building is mainly used by the professional association for health and welfare services and related institutions.

The building formed a corner directly on Nikolsburger Platz, Trautenaustraße 18 and Landhausstraße 1. The “Lichtspiele am Nikolsburger Platz” was set up in 1925 by the architect Otto Werner as a built-in cinema with 300 seats in the existing house. "One visited the Lichtspiele on Nikolsburger Platz, a 300-seat cinema that was over on the corner, where [2012] the new building at Trautenaustraße 18 is." In 1928, Madelaine & Adalbert Lieban owned the daily Lichtspiele with 278 seats . The corner house is located at Trautenaustraße 18, the cinema at Landhausstraße 1 (according to the cinema address book). Gustav Schunke was the owner in 1929 and named 300 seats. Between 1930 and the mid-1930s, the engineer Siegfried Ebenstein became the owner (graduate engineer at Cicerostraße 56a, no longer in the Berlin address book for 1936) and in 1932 he had Klangfilm install the sound film equipment. He was replaced as owner by Wilhelm Steindorff. The light shows had 280 seats. Steindorff managed the light shows until operations were discontinued as a result of the destruction in World War II .

Ludwigkirchstrasse  6
1912-1963
BW
The house at Ludwigkirchstrasse and Uhlandstrasse was a 15-party tenement house in 1910. The apartment building, built in 1902, has a business entrance on the sloping corner of the house, as it was then built across Berlin at (preferably not right-angled) intersections with shops on the ground floor. The cinema owner Johannes Moritz (Moritz-Lichtspiele) had 1912 entered as the year the cinema was founded from "Reichs-Kino Adressbuch 1930". The “Royal-Licht-Schauspiele” of the cinematograph theater owner August Wilhelm Bart for Ludwigskirchstrasse 6 and A. Barth, Lichtspieltheater, are also registered as tenants in the Berlin address book 1912. In 1914 August Bart is no longer the cinema owner, but a businessman and in 1915 he became a tenant in Pariser Strasse, from 1917 Uhlandstrasse 195, garden house VI. Floor. According to the information in the cinema address book, the cinema hall offered space for 170 to 200 viewers for daily screenings. The war years remain paperless. For 1917, the cinema directory gives the "Uhland-Lichtspiele" from Ms. Aranka (Amanda) Roth. Lothar Kallmann from Pfalzburger Strasse 71 replaced her as owner. In 1920 Karl Vanselow took over the venue and called his cinema "Beauty-Lichtspiele". At Ludwigkirchstrasse 6, in addition to Vanselows Kino, the publishing house Beauty and Youth by Clara Rothe and the operating company for Lichtspieltheater GmbH were located. There was a connection between the name “Die Schönheit, Buch- und Kunsthandlung Karl Vanselow” and the “Beauty-Lichtspiele Karl Vanselow”.

After Vanselow had probably left Berlin, the beauty light games were taken over by chief engineer Johannes Moritz in 1927 and named "Moritz-Lichtspiele". The daily screenings of silent films in front of 170 (165) viewers were accompanied musically by a cinema musician. From 1931 the name was Johannes-Moritz-Lichtspiele, there were still 156 seats. In 1934 Ludwigkirchstrasse came to the IX Wilmersdorf administrative district. In 1934 a mechanical music system was installed for sound films and the owners of the LK-Lichtspiele in Ludwigkirchstraße 6 became the cinema owners Mietusch & Klee, named after the street name as "Ludwigkirch-Lichtspiele", the short form LK (-Lichtspiele) was also quite common. From 1938 Horst Klee had probably faded into the background as a partner. Before that, they both owned the Emser-Lichtspiele (Pariser Straße 44), Capitol (Hasenheide) and the Hofjäger-Lichtspiele (Hasenheide). Mietusch remained the cinema owner until the end of the war. In contrast to neighboring houses, the old corner building was spared the air raids . Game operations will probably not have ended until the Goebbels instruction of September 1944, and it was resumed in 1946 at the latest. Like other Mietusch cinemas, Schäfgen-Thurnau also operated the "L.-K." (Ludwig-Kirch-Lichtspiele) in the post-war years . From 1952 onwards, “Gebr. Thurnau GmbH “as owner and Hans Thurnau as managing director. Two performances a day were supplemented by two weekend performances a week.

In 1957 the LK-Lichtspiele came to the “Pali u. LK Lichtspieltheater GmbH ”whose business was run by Wilhelmine Langer. The number of performances increased to three times a day and one youth event. Kamphöner's 168 seats were partially upholstered. In addition to the sound film technology, there was an Erko projection and a Hahn-Goertz projection apparatus, and the slide playback was done with sound. An addition to CinemaScope was probably not profitable with 168 seats. The widescreen conversion was also omitted when the Kiezkino was continued by Heinz Viehweg in 1959, the owner was the "Filmtheaterbetriebe Heinz Viehweg KG". Falling audience numbers during the cinema crisis led to the discontinuation of LK Lichtspiele in 1962, and only 163 seats were probably not available. After the cinema was closed, the Reichskabarett theater by Volker Ludwig played in the rooms from 1965/1966 . The former cinema rooms could easily be incorporated into the business line on Uhlandstrasse. On the ground floor of the house there is a restaurant as well as a shop and a gallery in the corner rooms. Stumbling blocks for Oskar Franke and Frieda Helft lie in front of Ludwigkirchstraße 6 .

The parish and parish house (2012)
Bergheimer Platz is located in the Rheingauviertel , which is demarcated from Laubacher Straße to the east of Friedenau. On the square is the Catholic Marienkirche in whose parish hall the Rheingau light shows were recorded in 1931. The parish hall is on the northwest corner of the square at the confluence with Bergheimer Straße. As part of the "garden city on the south-west parade with artists' colony", the building of the Catholic community was built in 1930 by Carl Kühn . The church building is addressed at Bergheimer Platz 2a. The municipal housing with a clinker facade on the first floor is addressed as Bergheimer Platz 1, until the mid-1940s as Bergheimer Straße 1. The cinema in the community hall had 400 seats and daily shows. The owner of the cinema technology was Friedrich Kessel; Mechanical music was part of the cinema and the hall had a stage measuring 4 m × 6 m. In 1933 the ownership rights changed. For 1933, the Rheingau-Lichtspiele GmbH in Bergheimer Strasse 1 is among the traders. since in 1934 the "Polygon" Lichtspielbetriebe GmbH of Walter Schönstedt is registered as the owner, there are 340 places indicated. Paul Keidel followed as owner until 1937.

From March 1, 1938, Thea Schallehn and Max Leschonski (Schallehn & Co.) became cinema owners, whose business was run by Werner Schallehn and, from 1940, Alfred Heyne. The area around Laubacher Platz remained almost entirely free of war damage. At the end of the war , the Lichtspiele had to cease operations in autumn 1944 on the basis of instructions from the Goebbels Ministry . However, after problems with the power supply, the Rheingau Filmtheater was soon able to resume theater operations. Under the initial Allied control, Schallehn operated the cinema with 362 seats and again the Schallehn u. Co. Werner and Thea Schallehn. The stage had a theater license, also an opera license, and was designated 5 m × 12 m × 6 m. Performances were given three times a day and one or two additional times on the weekend (late performance). Technically, there was the Ernemann II apparatus, the Europe amplifier system and slide equipment for film screenings. In 1956 the company was reorganized into Schallehn und Co. OHG (shareholders: Werner and Thea Schallehn). In 1957 the facility for wide screen films followed: with an Ernemann VIIB and Ernemann II projection machine, amplifiers and loudspeakers from Klangfilm, the CinemaScope image and sound system / single-channel optical sound was possible for the image format 1: 2.35, as in most of Berlin's cinemas . The slide playback was done with Dia-N. The audience capacity was increased to 416 and the seating in the hall consisted of flat and high upholstered armchairs from both Schröder & Henzelmann and Kamphöner. With the general decline in visitor numbers, the Rheingau Theater could no longer be financed and so it followed at the end of 1961 when the cinema was closed.

Roland Theater

BW
"Wilmersdorf. Corner of Uhlandstrasse and Lauenburgstrasse. the 'Rolandtheater' was opened. ”() The mentioned corner corresponds to the corner house Fechnerstraße 10 / Uhlandstraße 90 built in the 1990s. Uhlandstraße has kept its name since 1893, while Lauenburger Straße, known since 1890 as Walter- Fischer-Strasse and then Fechnerstrasse in June 1947. The entire former corner development with the cinema from the 1910s was destroyed in the air raids .

In 1909 the double plot of land at Uhlandstrasse 89/90 facing ← Lauenburger Strasse → ← Uhlandstrasse → opposite ← Gasteiner Strasse → was still undeveloped. and in 1910 the new building (Uhlandstrasse 89.90 / Lauenburger Strasse 4.5) by the architect Roch from Hohenzollerndamm 196 was built. In the following year the rentier Meßner became the owner, while Roch was the tenant. However, just one year later, Fritz Wespe was no longer named among the tenants and from 1913 he moved his cinematographic presentations under the same name as Roland-Lichtspiele to Augustastraße 7 ( Eva-Lichtspiele ).

The original building, in which Wespe owned his cinema from 1910 to 1912, was built together with the tenement houses in the center of Wilmersdorf south of the post office Wilmersdorf 1 (Uhlandstrasse 86–90 continuously and Fechnerstrasse 12–16 straight, also across from Uhlandstrasse 106–113 and Gasteiner 6– 10) destroyed by bomb damage. After the rubble and ruins had been cleared, the land was only slowly rebuilt since the late 1950s. After a small interim use from the 1960s, the corner property was only built on in 1992/1996 with a seven-storey office, commercial and residential building with underground parking, roof terrace and storefront on the ground floor, Uhlandstrasse 88/90 with Fechnerstrasse 10 and 12. It has 15 residential units and follows the curved plot of land in Fechnerstrasse.

The cinema location in the Rheingauviertel was on the northwest corner of the intersection of Homburger Strasse and Aßmannshauser Strasse, which continues Rüdesheimer Strasse at a fork with Spessartstrasse to the north. The house was built as Homburger Straße 12 (Aßmannshausener 13) in 1914–1915 for businessman Fröhlich (architects Rudolf Krause and Paul Jatzow). A shop cinema was set up on the ground floor of the new building; Walter Fröhlich, as the house owner, was the owner of the cinema until 1921. From the mid-1920s onwards, 1916 was named in the cinema directory as the year of foundation. Walter Fröhlich as the owner of the cinema gave the year 1919 as the founding date in the cinema address book 1920/1921; he (probably) set the expanded shop cinema as the opening after the renovation in 1918. Since the numbering method was changed around 1938, the residential building has been addressed as Homburger Straße 26 / Aßmannshauser Straße 13 and is a listed building. The buildings at the intersection were hit and damaged in air strikes. The building has been preserved and changed. The cinema name Rüdesheimer Lichtspiele (probably) arose from the nearby Rüdesheimer Platz underground station on the U3 line (Wilmersdorf-Dahlemer subway), which opened in 1913 . On the other hand, the surrounding development was promoted.

The cinema address book lists 1920/1921 for the Rüdesheimer-Lichtspiele as Walter Fröhlich as owner and Wilke as managing director. With 270 seats for spectators, there were daily performances. In 1924 the address listed was “Homburger Straße 12 am Untergrundbahnhof Rüdesheimer Platz”, the owner is Franz Markus Feßler, and two programs with silent films were offered every week. Josef Steinberg had been the owner of the cinema since 1928, initially (Dr.) Spanier ran Rüdesheimer Lichtspiele with 170 seats, and Georg Steinberg was the managing director from 1931. From this year on there were 230 seats and three cinema musicians were shown at the daily performances. The sound film equipment was also purchased in 1931. After a brief closure in 1933, the Rüdesheimer Lichtspiele are continued by Walter Schönstedt with his "Polygon" Lichtspielbetriebe GmbH. In 1937 the number of places was increased slightly to 246. (Polygon-Lichtspiel-Betriebe Schönstedt & Co.) From him the cinema was led through the war years. Only briefly interrupted after damage in 1946, the company continued to operate under the Polygon-Lichtspiel-Betriebe Schönstedt & Co KG with E. Sittner as managing director in the post-war years. In 1950 there were 258 seats and there were three performances a day. The technical equipment was the sound film amplifier, the Ernemann II projector and the slide equipment. From 1957 the matinee and late night performances were added, the Kamphöner seating consisted of 261 high upholstered armchairs. The possibility of showing the optical sound CinemaScope and SuperScope for widescreen films in the format 1: 2.35 is specified from 1959 with Ernemann II and amplifiers and loudspeakers from Klangfilm.

The cinema closed in 1966, after which the house was rebuilt from 1966–1967. After that there was a supermarket in the cinema. It was replaced by a furniture store. The Jewish furniture store Max Grand & Co., founded in 1936 at Homburger Strasse 26, was liquidated in 1940.

“Shortly before Christmas [1956] Gustav Lehmann opened the newly built 'Savoy-Lichtspiele' with 651 seats in Berlin-Wilmersdorf, Blissestraße 36. The theater, created by the architect B. Sender, is an attractive functional building, the interior of which, in brownish red, was adapted to the requirements of the Cinemascope presentation. The seating was provided by the Kamphöner company, and Philips machines are in the demonstration room. The new house is located in a part of Berlin that until recently had no CinemaScope theater. Its establishment may have been one of the reasons that the nearby Eva light games from the Polygon company have now switched to Cinemascope. "()

“In 1945 there was a war gap four houses long on Blissestraße opposite the confluence with Hildegardstraße. 1957 built Mr. Lehmann sen. there a cinema, the Savoy, which was initially isolated. At that time, the Savoy, with its 651 seats, was one of the largest cinemas in West Berlin. It was also one of the most modern as it was equipped with a cinemascope and a surround sound system with speakers on all four sides. However, the Savoy only showed films for seven years, from 1957 to 1964. Then it turned out to be unprofitable and Mr. Lehmann Sr. concentrates on its other cinemas in Zehlendorf, including the Capitol. Since then, food has been sold in the former cinema, initially under the name Reichelt, now Edeka. At the back of the Edeka sales room (or from the courtyard) you can still see the end wall of the hall - slightly convexly curved like the screen back then, in order to be able to show the wide-screen films undistorted. "

The Savoy film theater belonged to Gustav Lehmann. There were daily performances, there were 18 appointments per week with matinee, late night and youth performance, and the theater and opera license was also in place. With the Philips FP 56 projection machine and amplifiers and loudspeakers from Klangfilm, the presentation of CinemaScope in optical sound and four-channel magnetic sound of films in the formats 1: 2.35 and 1: 2.55 was possible. Around 1960 the hearing aid system was added, the Kamphöner seating offered high upholstered armchairs for the audience. When the audience dwindled in the 1960s, this cinema was closed in 1964.

In 1936/1937, the Christian Science religious community built their Church of Christ on their property acquired in 1929 . The construction of this community center came from Otto Bartning . On June 4, 1941, the head of the Reich Security Main Office Heydrich ordered the “Action against Secret Doctrine and Secret Science”, which also affected Christian Science, and on June 9, the church doors across the country were sealed by the Gestapo. In 1942 the Reich Ministry of the Interior took over the church and was looking for a tenant, and ultimately the building was handed over to the Waffen-SS , whose Nordland publishing house moved into the vestibule. In the church hall, the Waffen-SS set up a cinema with 1,000 seats for closed events. On December 14, 1943, the "internal cinema" was opened to the public. The melodrama shown at the opening had popular actors, including Olga Chekhova as the lead actress . Because of the large cinemas destroyed in the air raids, there was a clear lack of performance venues, so this church was used. However, the venue was only open to the public for two days, as it was destroyed by fire bombs on the evening of December 16, 1943.

The church building was rebuilt in 1956 with simplified and reopened in 1957. The building is on the Berlin monument list.

BW
The Berliner Straße was the arterial road of the city of Wilmersdorf, on property 165 the course of the road changed to Schöneberger Flur, continued in Grunewaldstraße. In 1912, the architect Georg Pinette built a new cinema building for the Schöneberg entrepreneurs Sattler and Eisner on Wilmersdorf's "property 166". “According to the design of the master builder of the exhibition halls at the zoo, Mr. Georg Pinette, we learn that two Americans are having a large cinematograph theater and café built near Bayerischer Platz in Berlinerstrasse, Wilmersdorf, on a villa area. The theater should be furnished in the most elegant way; the café should be around 400, the theater approx. Hold 600 people. Construction is to start on March 15th. "()

The "Lichtspielhaus am Bayerischen Platz Sattler & Eisner" was noted for the cinema owners Dave Eisner and Oscar Sattler with the headquarters of their company. This cinema name referred to the Bayerischer Platz in Schöneberg, 250 meters away . Due to its location, property 166 was subject to the tax sovereignty of the city ​​of Wilmersdorf . The "Lichtspielhaus Wittelsbach Berliner Straße 166" in the Wilmersdorfer commercial section with cinematographic presentations is included in the address book. The cinema, including the projection room, was located along the street front and offered seats for 617 spectators. Obviously, the name reference to “Café Wittelsbach” by Cafetier Meißner in the tenement building Bayerischer Platz 2. The merchants Dave S. Eisner (from W 30 Münchener Straße 14 ground floor) and Oscar Sattler (from Bozener Straße 8, from 1918 Bozener Straße 11) were the partners of "Lichtspiele Wittelsbach GmbH", the house owner of Berliner Straße 166. Their business was run by Georg Pinette (architect from Jenaer Straße 9) in 1914, he was no longer mentioned among the Berlin residents during the war in 1915 . Café Wittelsbach from Cafetier Meißner at Bayerischer Platz 2 continued to exist for the next few years without any demonstrable connection to the cinema.

Probably as the distributor of the films purchased for their movie theater, “Sattler & Eisner Filmvertrieb” took up its seat in SW 48 Friedrichstrasse 235 in 1915, where mainly companies from the film industry were based in the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Passage office. Sattler & Eisner moved to Friedrichstrasse 226 in 1917. The Kapellmeister Josef Streletzky took over the business of the Lichtspiel-GmbH in 1915 after the failure of Pinette. In 1916/1917 he moved from his apartment on the ground floor of the garden house Prager Platz 3 to Jenaer Straße 16. At Berliner Straße 166, the “Lichtspiele Wittelsbach” are in the cinema directory and among the Wilmersdorfer tradespeople cinematographic ideas in the Berlin address book. The capacity of (officially) registered seats was between 420 and over 500 spectators. The cinema remained in operation in 1918, but the two dealers had moved out of the house in 1917. In any case, the GmbH managed by Streletzky got into financial difficulties as a cinema and house owner in 1918, the entry reads: "Lichtspiele Wittelsbach GmbH in Liquidation". The house was taken over in 1918 by Mrs. Grochtmann, the owner of the neighboring house 165, and a new game shop moved in. In 1919 Josef (von) Streletzky became theater director of his "Wittelsbach Theater Joseph Streletzky". In 1920 the cinema with 550 seats was still played three to four days a week by Streletzky, but then the entry for Jenaer Strasse 16 was: "Banker Josef von Strelitzki", which he had bought from. Thereupon, in 1921, Deutsche Cines GmbH took over the cinema building. The cinema and building were rebuilt by C. Georg Lischka, with the hall being expanded to 833 seats. "The former Wittelsbach cinema in Berliner Straße zu Wilmersdorf has been reopened under the name 'Cito-Cinema'." ()

Since the liquidation of the GmbH, the Wittelsbach-Lichtspiele have been called "Wittelsbach-Theater", Lichtspielhaus. The house with the theater and the two retail stores is temporarily listed for Ms. Grochtmann from house 165, but also for Deutsche Cines GmbH . At the beginning of the 1920s, the capacity of the cinema was designated with seats for 550 spectators, with daily play the program is changed twice a week. The business of the Cines is led by Mrs. Kanowski. The cinema owner Fritz Staar took over the Wittelsbach Theater as the owner (apartment: Wilmersdorf Lauenburger Straße 4) in 1925, and in the cinema address book he stated 700 seats for the "Wittelsbach Palace". The German Cines and the Cito film no longer existed, the Cito-publishing company had moved. Owner of the house Berliner Straße 166 is from the time of the "Wittelsbach Palace" The Wittelsbach Palace was in the late 1920s repeatedly premiere cinema, as on 13 December 1929 the film Distinguishing features . With changes in ownership in the German cinema business , this large cinema , together with the “Staar-Filmbetriebe”, was temporarily part of the “National-Film-Theater GmbH” fund. However, Fritz Staar remained the responsible operator and owner from 1925 until the end of this cinema theater due to the bomb damage. With the cinema ownership, the movie theater owner Fritz Staar was also the owner of the building. Nine cinema musicians were employed in the Wittelsbach Palace, they accompanied the daily performances as long as silent films were shown. The managing director was Alfred Randow with daily performances in front of 650 seats. In 1931 the sound film equipment was installed by Klangfilm, Max Steinke became the managing director, and from 1931 onwards there are 700 seats. The architect Ernst Bielfeld carried out another renovation in 1937 and the cinema hall had 750 to 760 seats available for spectators. Since then Herbert Trettin has been running Staar's business in the Wittelsbach Palace until Hugo Michaelis became the managing director in 1941 , probably under the influence of the war .

The former building of the Wittelsbach Palace had a built-up plot depth of 50 meters with a street front of 20 meters, so that the cinema hall could accommodate up to 780 seats. The corner building at Berliner Straße 167 / Kufsteinstraße 2 connected to the east. There was a decent passage to the five-story neighboring house in the courtyard. These two neighboring houses survived almost unscathed, but the cinema building was destroyed by bombs in an air raid during World War II. At the beginning of the 1960s, the cleared ruin site was rebuilt at a lower house depth with a six-story house and shops on the ground floor. The depth of the plot became additional courtyard area.

The Berlin Waldbühne was built in the course of the construction work for the Olympic Games of 1936 under the direction of the architect Werner March according to plans by Konrad Robert Heidenreich and was named "Dietrich-Eckart-Freilichtbühne". After the Second World War , the stage was named "Waldbühne". At first it served as an open-air cinema (including the venue for the Berlinale ), then it was used for boxing matches. War damage was repaired in the 1960s. From 1961 it was mainly used for rock concerts . It offers space for 22,000 spectators.

In June 1950 Kurt Tuntsch, director of the Filmbühne Wien , opened the open-air cinema in the Waldbühne with the WB color film Robin Hood, King of the Vagabonds . The 1200 seats consisted of garden chairs and the tiers. The image size at that time was 10 m × 12 m (screen 14 m × 17 m), the projector distance 70 meters. Between 1956 and 1959 Walter Jonigkeit ran the open-air cinema in the Waldbühne.

The film screenings ("Kino in der Waldbühne") by the Blues Brothers and the Rocky Horror Picture Show had cult status , to which thousands of fans came in disguise to sing along loudly. These cinema events have not taken place since the 2000s, with one poorly attended exception in 2006. In 2012 there was another attempt with open-air cinema.

Both cinemas were destroyed by bombs during the war. And so after 1945 a small cinema - the 'Pan' - established itself in the front of Lassenstrasse on Bismarckallee. ”() The Pan was opened in 1945 in the undamaged gymnastics hall of the Hildegard Wegscheider Oberschule (1939 Johanna von Puttkamer School ) set up. The cinema had 352 seats in the 1940s, from the 1950s it was specified with 277 seats. The cinema was initially owned by Johannes Betzel, who had been a cinema entrepreneur in Berlin and Dessau since the 1930s, and later also in Hamburg. Ronald Forte was the managing director of the Panfilmtheater. There were two performances a day. In 1953 Walter Bornholdt and Hermann Pentke owned the cinema and also added a performance. From 1955 Erich Otto took over the PAN film theater. There was an Erko IV device for film projection, sound film amplifiers and a slide device with sound. The seating was then 277 high upholstered armchairs from Kamphöner. As in other Berlin cinemas, the widescreen show was introduced in 1957, with 16 screenings per week. Even with the use of the CinemaScope image and sound system in the optical sound system and format 1: 2.35, the financial difficulties remained and the school use of the rooms was (probably) the focus again.

"Dedy-Lichtspiele in Berlin-Schmargendorf: The Dedy-Lichtspiele were opened in Warnemünder Strasse 8 in Berlin-Schmargendorf, a theater that can seat 308 people. The theater is run by a limited liability company whose managing directors are businessman Kurt Paschen, who used to be in charge of the Kakadu-Lichtspiele at Jannowitzbrücke, and a businessman Margarete Urbscheit, Hamburg. Since this district of Berlin is not overcrowded with movie theaters, the new house should soon become popular with the residents. ”() From the mid-1950s, Marga Urbscheit, Dahlem Max-Eyth-Straße 31, became the owner, and Walter Schulze ran the business . The number of seats fell slightly to 292 upholstered cinema seats from Schröder & Henzelmann. At daily events, 21 performances were given a week, played 16 times in the summer months until 1960, plus there were two late performances, some of them a youth performance. The equipment was the apparatus Nitzsche Matador IB, amplifier from Zeiss Ikon and slide equipment with sound. Wide screen films were possible with the picture and sound system CinemaScope-Lichtton in the format 1: 2.35. From 1960 to at least 1962 the Urbscheid cinema was managed by “Polyphon Lichtspiele Schönstedt & Co”. After a temporary closure (1966), Lothar Bellmann was still the owner until the movie theater "dedy" died in 1972 and was converted into a supermarket. The outline of the building was retained and behind the shelves were the typical, classic stucco and ornamental pillars of the dance hall, as they were built in the first decades after the turn of the century and thus belonged to the former cinema hall. In 2011 "the demolition excavator came and exposed the outlines of the former cinema screen for a moment before everything collapsed and only a pile of rubble remained." ()

The property at Breite Straße 33 between Warnemünder and Kirchstraße is located in the historic center (number 38: village church ) north of the municipal cemetery. Until 1891 Dorfstraße, 1904 as the main street, it was renamed in Breite Straße on April 13, 1904. The innkeeper Hermann Balz had built a hall building (no. 33) in 1893 for his excursion restaurant "Deutsches Haus" (no. 34) in the Berlin suburb. According to the type of entry in the Berlin address book, the opening of a film theater was probably more profitable. In 1926, the "Deutsche Lichtspielhaus" was set up in the guest hall, although as in other restorations it was already there. In the cinema address book, Hugo v. Scheven as the owner of the Deutsches Lichtspielhaus (Breite Straße 33) with 347 seats and daily performances, founded in 1926. In the following volume in February 1929 August Röder (Friedenau, Wilhelmstraße 23 Erdg.) Became the owner. From 1929, as the cinema owner, he gave the 5 m × 6 m stage and 335 visitor seats, he used four to seven cinema musicians for the acoustic design of the films. In 1931 the sound film equipment of sound film and mechanical music came here into the cinema. The house survived the war with minor damage and in 1946 Röder's cinema was resumed in the British sector. The managing director is initially Erwin Ross and from 1950 Käte Handke. There are 16 weekly performances with daily play. The demonstration device is from Hahn-Goerz, the amplifier from Klangfilm and a slide device is available. From 1953 Helga Röder became the owner, from 1955 Paul Homann ran the movie theater. The seating is now upholstered armchairs by Kamphöner and the projection device is an Erko IV. When Werner and Brigitta Meske (postal address-Schöneberg Durlacher Straße 2) took over the cinema in 1959, widescreen films were shown with an aspect ratio of 1: 2.35 using the CinemaScope single-channel optical sound system and enabled in SuperScope. The cinema lasted until 1961. The house and the cinema gave way on April 17, 1961 to widen the street. The old course of the Breite Straße with old buildings fell victim to the straightening and widening for new buildings. The tram line 51, which meanders through the gently winding street, from Roseneck to Zoo station has been replaced by a bus line. The existing house number 33 has not been identical to the previous guest house and cinema since then.

The Schützenhaus garden restaurant was on the north side of Hundekehlestrasse and Ruhlaer Strasse. The hall along Ruhlaer Straße 1/2 with the hall entrance from there was already used as a people's theater. The main entrance was at Hundekehlestrasse 20. In 1929 the “Belvedere - Filmbühne am Roseneck” opened in the former theater. The owner was initially the cinema entrepreneur Leo Czutzka, who owned cinemas in Weißensee, Charlottenburg, Neukölln. After Mrs. Frieda Müller took over the cinema with 600 seats in 1930, the sound film equipment was installed in 1932 and renamed "Eden-Lichtspiele". With the next change of ownership in 1934, Paul Klein gave the cinema the name “Germania-Lichtspiele”. A renovation that took place in the process led to a reduction in audience capacity to 340 seats. It was recorded in the cinema address book (Reichskino address book Volume 13) as the year of its establishment in 1933.

In the air raids in 1943, the hall building in particular was hit hard, while the main building on Hundekehlestrasse was less damaged. Due to the broken hall, however, the cinema ended.

The property at Marienbader Strasse 9 remained vacant when the war-related damage to the 1930s buildings on the east side of Marienbader Strasse was restored and could thus be used for a new cinema. “On October 4th [1956], exactly ten years to the day after he had opened his provisional first Melodie-Filmtheater in an office building on Hohenzollerndamm , Heinz Viehweg handed over a few street corners further west, on Roseneck, 'on his own property and Boden ', a brand new tune to its old and new regular audience. This time, unlike a decade ago when Werner Finck conferred the opening, the 'third phase' of the current did not stay away - Finck had to improvise for an hour at the time to keep the audience engaged - on the contrary, you could see for yourself as planned, what excellent technical and artistic facilities the new theater holds. In a four-month construction period, architect Hans Bielenberg , who built over 30 cinemas in five years, created a tasteful, dignified house in the rooms of which you feel comfortable. Acoustic panels on the ceiling, wooden panels and green fabric coverings on the walls guarantee good acoustics. The CinemaScope screen measures 6 by 12 meters. It is noticeable that indirect lighting was not used in the auditorium. Two rows of chandeliers give the room an intimate, festive glow. The 'Melodie' seats 607 spectators. The seating was provided by Gustav Wegener, Berlin. UFA-Handel took over the technical equipment. ”() The operating company was“ Heinz Viehweg KG. Filmtheaterbetriebe ”led by Heinz Viehweg. The technical equipment consisted of the Ernemann IX demonstration machine (light source: Becklicht), Dominar amplifier and loudspeakers from Zeiss Ikon and Dia-SC. The audience saw three performances a day in high-upholstered cinema armchairs. It was possible to reproduce CinemaScope using the optical sound method and the one- and four-channel magnetic sound method, as well as the Perspecta system with widescreen formats 1: 2.35 and 1: 2.55. In 1960 the now common hearing aid system came into Melodie am Roseneck.

Nevertheless, due to the general lack of spectators, the financial base was weakened. In 1966 (allekinos.com: after 1967) this cinema was transformed into a supermarket in the course of time . In the 2000s / 2010s, the low-rise building, which was still externally recognizable as a cinema, was used by a drinks market.

Hohenzollerndamm  150
1946-1956
Melody ticket (1948)
The building at Hohenzollerndamm 144–153 was built by Rudolf Klar in 1937 as a new building for the Wehrmacht (barracks and headquarters of the military district command III). From 1948 the building complex became the headquarters of the electrical company AEG . In 1946, Heinz Viehweg moved the Melodie-Lichtspiele into suitable rooms in this building on the corner of Cunostraße. The cinema used offered 351 seats for spectators and three performances were given daily. The cinema was owned by the "Heinz Viehweg KG Filmtheaterbetriebe" whose business was run by Heinz Viehweg. There were three performances a day, to which there were also late and matinee performances. The equipment consisted of two Ernemann II projection devices for film projection and a Europa Junior amplifier system for the sound, as well as the slide equipment. The theater and opera licenses were available for the 3 m × 8 m × 4 m stage. The cinema was renovated in 1953. The seat capacity was increased slightly from 351 to 360. When the opportunity arose, in 1956 Vieweg moved to the new purpose-built cinema for his "Melodie am Roseneck" located 1.5 kilometers to the south. The rooms in the listed building were taken over by the AEG company. After the abandonment of the AEG headquarters, it has been used by various companies and institutions since 1996.

Remarks

  • The Berlin address books are named according to the year of issue, since the editorial deadline for the supplements is given around the turn of the year up to January, the year information relates to the year preceding the issue. In the above text or in the comments, the numbers (#) in the digital.zlb.de directory may be given after the year in the Berlin address book. The entry “construction site” in the address book does not indicate the current construction site, but rather existing construction land. In some years only the residents, but not rented companies, are included in the street section. Companies registered by commercial courts are marked in Latin / bold letters in the residents' area.
  • Changed previous street names are given in italics to distinguish them from existing ones.
  1. From the Berlin address books 1911/6135 + 1912/6331 + 1913/6164 shows that the west side of the Mannheim road was undeveloped. The multi-family house (20 tenants) by sculptor Otto Wohlfahrt stood on property 30 at the corner of Mecklenburgische Strasse; it was given up in 1911. The eastern plots around Mecklenburgische Strasse (now with Paretzer Strasse) to Wilhelmsaue were parceled building land and will be re-numbered from 1912 onwards, with Strelitzsche Strasse being newly incorporated. The sculptors Wohlfahrt built new buildings at Uhlandstrasse 80 and 81 in 1911; from 1912 they belong to the merchant Pinkus from Berlin who moved into 80 in 1914. The sculptor Fritz Wohlfahrt lives in Uhlandstrasse 81, which is also where the cinema is. The owner of the cinema, Josef Umlauf, has moved from Uhlandstrasse 83/84 to Mannheimer Strasse 43, where apartment buildings 40-44 between Wilhelmsaue and Berliner Strasse were built before 1910. Noteworthy is the sculptor Otto Wohlfahrt who had his workshop in S 59 (Neukölln side) Kottbusser Damm 92 in 1914/3557. The Neukölln Kukuk-Lichtspielhaus has been located here since 1913 .
  2. a b c d Fritz Staar (* May 16, 1877, † 1957) was a cinema entrepreneur from Berlin-Wilmersdorf. In 1918, the Berlin cinema owner Friedrich Staar took over what was then Potsdam Residenz-Lichtspiele. He was the first to set up a kiosk for the ticket takers. On March 26, 1929, the unification of all Potsdam cinema theaters under the management of Staar is announced. Since 1929 the Arkadia -Lichtspiele (Be-Ba-Lichtspiele) in Wilmersdorf belong to the "Fritz Staar film theater company". From 1930 the "Berliner Lichtspieltheater AG" took over the Wilmersdorfer Kino: Atrium (Beba-Palast) from Fritz Staar. From 1933 Staar ran the Babylon Kinovariete on Bülowplatz. In 1934 the Onkel-Tom-Kino was built by Fritz Staar and since 1937 he became the owner of the Meraner Lichtspiele (Royal). 1952 “Fritz Staar joins the senior group of German movie theater owners. He was 75 on May 16. He has worked tirelessly in the industry for 43 years. ”In 1953, he took over the Lumina film theater in Zehlendorf and the Maxim film theater in Neukölln. In 1957 his wife Eva Staar continued to run the “Fritz Staar Film Theater Company” and Eva and Ingeborg Staar. In 1960 this company became the owner of the Palast-Kino Stern (Ufa im Stern) to which Fritz Staar already owned the rights through UFA.
  3. a b Property history at Babelsberger Strasse 52 / Berliner Strasse 163/164
    • The corner house, which existed in the 2010s, was built from 1910 to 1918 based on documents from FIS brokers . The neighboring house 165 was built between 1870 and 1899. The corner property has an area of ​​1425 m², 960 m² built on five floors plus an attic.
    • The 1900 address book names building land for Babelsberger Strasse from Erfurter zur Badenschen to Berliner Strasse. In the Berliner Straße in Schöneberger Feldmark, 163 and 164 belong to the widow Wenzel, 163 is a construction site and there are 164 sculptors Jaeckel. 165 belongs to Kaufmann Schulz as the only resident.
    • Address book 1905 (1905/4474 /): In Babelsberger Strasse before and from Badensche Strasse: construction sites to Berliner Strasse (1906: 40 was Villa Neumann, 1908 as No. 51, 1909 demolition). The two properties at Berliner Straße 163 and 164 belong to the sculptor Schirmer, who lived in 164. From 1906 to 1909, sculptor Kuhl used No. 164. From 1908 onwards, Babelsberger Strasse 52 is combined with Berliner Strasse 163 and 164 (from 1909: 163/164).
    • Address book 1910 (1910/5895 /): For the corner property of the sculptor R. Schirmer (only) master craftsman Rodrian is registered as a user, also in 1911, 1912. Sculptor Robert Schirmer (1910/2472 /): Atelier for decorative plastic, judicial expert in the district of the Kammergericht and Regionalgericht I, II, III; Owner of W50 Schaperstraße 32 Hochparterre and Wilmersdorf Berliner Straße 163/164.
    • Address book 1913 (1913/6138 /): New building by Schirmer on Babelsberger Strasse 52 / Berliner Strasse 163/164. Schirmer is the owner but no longer the user of the property. In 1914 there were seven tenants (one pharmacist, six merchants), from the following year 10–15 tenants are listed for the corner house. Next to the apartments there were obviously commercial spaces, such as the cinema or the metal goods factory "Converta" on the corner lot.
    • Schirmer is still the property owner in 1923/6054. In 1924 the sculptor Schirmer was no longer among the Berlin residents. The property utilization company from Berlin was the property owner until 1928/6568. The change of ownership to Mrs. Frieda Karpowitz from Charlottenburg (from 1940 abroad) is documented in 1929/6786. At the same time, Fritz Staar, Lichtspiele, was registered for the first time; from the following year 1930/6575 to Arkadia-Lichtspiele.
  4. ^ While in the address book the Berliner Straße 163/164 is assigned to the Babelsberger Straße 52, in the cinema address book the address was in contrast Berliner Straße 163/164, sometimes with the corner Babelsberger Straße as an addition.
  5. a b The actor Charles Willy Kayser (1881–1942) was actively involved in movie theaters and film advertising. As a versatile supporting actor he was often active as a film actor, so there was also the opportunity to work in the film theater industry. In the 1920s he owned the Schöneberg Astoria-Lichtspiele at Potsdamer Straße 89, where Peter Kluge ran the cinema.
