Bioscope
The Bioscope was an early Lübeck cinema .
On November 9, 1906 opened Erich Salmon in the Broad Street 25 a so-called projection Panorama , in which still images on a screen projected were and explained by a narrator in a lecture.
As early as November 15th, Salmon converted its business into a movie theater, which he named Bioscope . Due to the long, narrow shop in which the cinema was housed, the hall was only small: in a 12 by 4 meter room with a nearly 3 meter wide screen there were only 13 rows of chairs with 5 seats each. Due to the low capacity, the Lübeck police office reduced the amusement tax to be paid in January 1907 from 150 to 100 marks , but the cinema still did not work profitably.
In the same month Salmon left the city unannounced and went to Szczecin . His employees continued to run the cinema for some time until Salmon informed the police in a letter that he was closing his company on January 29th due to unprofitability. The building at the head of the Beckergrube , dating from the 19th century, is now used by a fast food company.
