history
Alfred Duskes founded Literaria Film on December 28, 1912 and built a glass house in the spring of 1913. Shortly afterwards, right next door, Paul Davidson built a cinema studio based on plans by Bruno Buch for his projection group “Union” , the first German film production . In 1920 The Golem as He Came into the World was filmed there. In 1925 the atelier finally went to UFA , which produced The Blue Angel here, among other things . At that time, sunlight was switched to the more permanent artificial light, which made the glass houses obsolete. From 1933 to 1935 it was expanded to include Studio 1 by Otto Kohtz . In 1937 the area was used by Terra Film . There was z. B. filmed the studio recordings for Große Freiheit No. 7 . On April 26, 1945, the Russian troops stormed the Oberlandstrasse in Tempelhof when Helmut Weiss was producing the film: Tell the truth . After 1945, Soviet feature films were initially dubbed in Tempelhof. But there were also films like the Berlin Ballad . After the bankruptcy of UFA, the Deutsche Synchron Filmgesellschaft was founded there in 1963 by Karlheinz Brunnemann , which was merged into Phoenix Film and is also based in Tempelhof. On January 1, 1964, the Berlin Union Film was founded there as a studio in memory of the production company "Union" by Becker and Kries. In 1968 a cooperation agreement was signed with the Sender Free Berlin . It realized many cinema and television productions there, including the Hollywood musical Cabaret . Due to its proximity to Berlin-Tempelhof Airport , the ZDF awarded Union-Film numerous orders such as: Kennzeichen D , Der Großes Preis or the ZDF Hit Parade .
