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 town of Spandau, which was independent until 1920, owned more than 20 movie theaters in the previous century. The first “cinematograph theater” in Spandau was opened in 1911 in the old town, Havelstrasse. The legendary "Havel-Lichtspiele" - after the renovation in 1955 "Aladin" - became a supermarket from 1969, like numerous other Spandau cinemas in the 1960s. However, the "Havel-Lichtspiele" were reactivated in 1996 as a "Kinocenter" and since 2005 as a Cineplex . Names like “Capitol”, “Tivoli”, “Odeon”, “Savoy” and “Bio” have been lost, their cinemas are empty, supermarkets have been torn down or have been demolished. In the cinema list there are 38 cinema locations within the Spandau district (from the sources available). There were nine cinemas in Spandau in 1920, ten in 1940 and 20 in 1960, four in 1980 and two cinemas in 2010: the Cineplex and cinema in the Kulturhaus (with venues of the “Kommunales Kino Spandau” association).

The use of facilities of the Spandau military industry as a location for film productions is almost unknown. The Versailles Treaty forbade military uses and the Staakener zeppelin halls with a share capital of 500 million Reichsmarks were used by the “Filmwerke Staaken”. From the Zeppelin building, up to 28 meters high and weather-proof production rooms were available with a production area eight times the sum of the other Berlin locations. 200 films were made here, that was a third of all German film productions of the 1920s. With the transition to sound film around 1930 financial difficulties arose for silent film studios that lacked sound technology. When the National Socialists came to power , the provisions of the Versailles Treaty were suspended and military use was reinstated in 1934. He existed the plan of a "film city" between Gatow and Kladow, near the island of Lindwerder , based on designs by Hans Poelzig as a replacement production facility. Land for twelve studio halls, a photocopier and own heating power station had been bought, but the plan was not carried out after the economic crisis . It was not until 1942 that Mars Film GmbH made films again on Charlottenburger Chaussee , which produced all of the Wehrmacht's educational films . After the war, films were dubbed in their studios for the Soviet troops and then for the British. In 1946 Artur Brauner founded his "Central Cinema Company". For the CCC studios he bought a 5000-square-meter site on the island of Eiswerder with factory buildings in which the Nazis had attempted poison gas experiments. Almost 400 employees produced almost 250 films, props and costumes were made, film editing and marketing were organized, and capacities were rented to other companies, for example Rialto-Film shot the interior shots of the Karl May films and ZDF produced television shows .

( Location )

Falkenhagener Feld
Stadtrandstrasse  525
1952-1961
BW
The "Filmbühne Spandau Stadtrand" was located at Stadtrandstrasse 525 / corner of the glowworms path. Stadtrandstraße is the main street of the suburban housing estate in Falkenhagener Feld, which was laid out in the 1930s. The hamlet in the district of Spandau was Falkenhagener field along with the expansion of the highway from 1960. The plot outskirts road 525-527 / Glühwürmchenweg 31-33 was only in the postwar years built up and it was in the "outskirts Garden", also called "Julius Garden" , with a garden restaurant here. In the cinema-address are the foundation of the hall cinemas called Allan Hagedorf and Elise Wruck. The cinema is listed with 260 seats. From 1957 Elise Wruck became the sole owner. The catchment area of ​​the cinema was the northwest of Spandau, especially the settlers and allotment gardeners who lived here. With its border location to Falkensee , it could also have functioned as a border cinema . This is probably one of the reasons that the Filmbühne stopped operating in 1961. The cinema is no longer listed for 1962. The hall became a restaurant and the outskirts tavern is still there. The Julius Garden has been recognized as a café / bar / restaurant and offers a hall with 170 seats for "celebrations".

When the " Hali " ( Ha kenfelder Li chtspiele) in the restaurant building for the construction of the aviation equipment factory of Siemens & Halske (LGW Hakenfelde) was demolished, Otto Kienzle opened the Filmsck-Lichtspiele 2.5 kilometers away on Falkenhagener Chaussee / corner of Germersheimer in 1939 Weg (since 1958: Falkenseer Chaussee 266a ). In 1937, a strip of land between property 271 and 266 across Falkenhagener Chaussee parallel to Germersheimer Weg was still vacant. The opening of the Filmsck by Otto Kienzle is given for February 3, 1939. A low-rise building with the film rooms was added to the residential building 266 when the building clearance was lifted, which reached into the planned street 561 . This was built by Gehag from 1940 and named and executed as Germersheimer Weg in 1942. The cinema had 596 to 599 seats and was played daily. In 1950/1952 there are also 611 places, but 16 performances per week. In 1941 Maria Kienzle took over the cinema, which it owned until it closed. Bernhard Hoffmann ran the business. “A staircase that was reminiscent of a train station staircase led to the cash registers. The room in which the stairs were also looked like a train station entrance. It was open to Germersheimer Weg and was closed with an iron grille after the cinema was open. When you went up the stairs you reached a platform and stood in front of two ticket offices. ”There were 21 shows a week, one late night and one youth show. Technical information is available from the 1950s. The Kamphöner seats were folding armchairs with high upholstery. There were two Ernemann VII B projectors (right and left). The amplifiers were initially from Eurodyn, from 1957 from Klangfilm. Also mentioned are: Loudspeakers from Klangfilm, as image and sound system “CS 1 KL”, and CS 4 KM, the size ratio of the screen was 1: 2.35 and 1: 2.55. In line with the general trend towards cinema interest, the Filmsck was closed from 1960 to 1961. “The screen was covered by a dark blue curtain, which was illuminated in white from below from the stage. The performances were seated on massive folding cinema chairs with thick brown cushions. For the youth performances on Sunday at 1.30 p.m., children were only allowed to sit in the stalls unaccompanied by an adult, while children accompanied by an adult were also allowed to sit in the high stalls. As entrance music, western music was played instrumentally without singing. The film screenings were very high-quality. ”Since 1961 there has been a supermarket in the building of the former film corner.

The inn is located in the center of Gatow opposite the Gatow village church and the fire station. The garden area of ​​6000 square meters between the street and the Havel belonged to the inn. The owners and (probably) founders of the film theater were Franz and Edith Rupp from Gatow (Kladower Damm 13). The cinema is specified with 263 seats. Contemporaries describe the cinema enjoyment: “You sat on garden chairs that were tied together with wire to form rows of chairs. Whether afternoon shows with Charlie Chaplin or the first Wild West films in the evening, for 80 pfennigs or a mark it was cheap pleasure. ”The cinema was played on seven days, four shows on Sundays. The stage had a size of 6 m × 8 m, in 1959 it was converted to improved cinema technology and a wide screen with a size ratio of 1: 2.35. The closure was (probably) in line with the zeitgeist for economic reasons. The restaurant area was built on the side facing away from the street with residential buildings facing the Havel bank , benefiting from the adjoining Havel . The inn (Alt-Gatow 31) built in 1903 still exists and has been added to the list of monuments.

Kladow
Kladower Damm 182
1935-1994
Main entrance, August 1983
The General- Steinhoff - Kaserne is addressed under Kladower Damm 182. Due to the renaming of the barracks streets in the context of civilization and the formation of the rural town of Gatow , the (staff) building is on Hans-Grade-Ring . The "Astra-Cinema" was the troop cinema of the British armed forces in Berlin at Gatow airfield . The cinema was in the headquarters building at Gatow airfield near the headquarters. “The“ Astra ”is located in the middle of the headquarters building at Gatow airfield, almost next door to the headquarters, explains Lieutenant Colonel Udo Genth from the 3rd Air Force Division. Therefore it will probably not be made available to the public. Up to 304 viewers can still watch the films that the 40-year-old projector throws onto the screen seven times a week. The last performance should take place on August 26th at 7.30 pm. ”The headquarters building was then taken over by the Bundeswehr Air Force and continued to be used in the General Steinhoff barracks. In 1935 the inauguration of the Gatow military airfield took place. It can be assumed that the “Märkische Tonlichtspiele” opened shortly afterwards. At that time there were several movie theaters in the Brandenburg area that bore this name. They were all operated as cinemas for soldiers at their locations. In the cinema address book for 1938 “Märkische Tonlichtspiele” in Berlin-Gatow is mentioned. The cinema was played three days a week and had a capacity of 200 seats. It was recorded for the Döberitz soldiers' home . In 1940 the location of the troop cinema Dallgow-Döberitz is mentioned here .

“In mid-September 1965, the Auto-Kino-Gesellschaft Olympic began building the first drive-in cinema in West Berlin on the open-air site on Otternbuchtstrasse and Motardstrasse. Actors Hannelore Elsner and Georg Thomalla opened the Siemensstadt drive-in cinema on September 24th. After the opening film at the seventh dawn , there was a fireworks display as an encore. This drive-in theater on a floor space of 40,000 m² for 1030 passenger vehicles was the second drive-in theater in Germany (the first opened on March 29, 1960 in Gravenbruch near Frankfurt / Main). The 22 m high, 450 m² projection screen made of weatherproof Eternit and glass panels was visible from afar and was one of the attractions of Siemensstadt at that time. 515 connection columns served as distributors for loudspeakers and hot air blowers (in winter); They also had a call button for the motorized catering service. Six lines of cars could be processed at the cash registers at the same time. Due to the expansion of the Reuter thermal power station, the cinema system had to close at the beginning of the 1980s ”()“ The drive-in cinema offered a special service: In addition to the loudspeakers that were hung in the car, visitors had the option of pressing a button on the more than a thousand stands Calling employees who brought sandwiches and drinks. ”The history of the Berlin drive-in cinema is relatively straightforward. The Siemensstadt drive-in cinema at Motardstraße 81-125 played from 1966 to November 1981. The address of the Auto-Kinos Berlin was initially Motardstraße, at times Otternbuchtstraße and from 1977 Motardstraße 107. The operating company was based in Berlin 19 Heerstraße 21. The cinema address book is 1972 Becker & Co. named as owner until 1976. The area west of Sternfeld belonged to Osram GmbH until the 1930s, the southern part was used by KGA Sternfeld and Spreewiesen in the post-war years. The northern roadside area used by Siemens subsidiary companies was available as fallow land east of Otternbuchtstraße for a drive-in cinema. When the Reuter thermal power station was expanded in the 1980s by the Reuter-West part of the plant , which went into operation in 1987, the subsequent areas were required. The road layout was also changed.

Apparently, silent film screenings ceased when cinemas across Berlin were equipped with sound film technology. Both Nonnendammallee 82 and 82a are noted in the cinema address book. House 82 / 82a was probably demolished around 1950 and only the corner of Wattstrasse was left at Wattstrasse 4a. At the end of the 1960s, the corner development at Nonnendammallee 82 was added. The gap between Nonnendammallee 82 and 82a was closed by the end of the 1980s at the earliest with the construction of a new residential and commercial building. So no remnants of the Elektra light show remained.

Previously, the Imperial Post Office 2nd class and the Reich Post Office Berlin-Siemensstadt had been in the building since 1913. After 1963 several supermarkets moved in here in succession (such as M. Tilgner's wholesale market).

The "Kino Siemensstadt" had 460 (455) seats and was operated by Karl Bornemann and Karl Roger as managing directors of "Kino Siemensstadt GmbH". The residential area of ​​Siemensstadt on Nonnendammallee was hardly affected by war damage , so the film screenings could continue uninterrupted in the post-war period. Owned by Martha Tilgner and managed by Gerd Tilgner, they were played twice a day under the name “Kammerspiele Siemensstadt” with 450 seats, and from 1953 onwards five additional dates were added each week. In addition to the film screening, there was also a theater license for the 4.5 m × 5.0 m stage, which resulted in the name change. The cinema technology consisted of the Ernemann II demonstration apparatus and the Kl.V.9401 amplifier (Klangfilm-Eurodyn) and the slide device. With the advent of widescreen films, the image and sound system Superscope (single-channel light sound) and CinemaScope four-channel magnetic sound with a Bauer B 5A projection machine (light source: Xenon) and the sound film amplifier have existed since 1957.

Cineplex on Havelstrasse
Admission ticket to the Havel light shows
The property at Havelstrasse 20 in Spandau's old town has a street frontage of 18 m but a depth of 60 m, which was used for the renovation and expansion of the Cineplex Spandau while maintaining the front. “The location of the 'Cineplex-Spandau' is an extraordinary place in that the conversion from a cinema to a supermarket and back took place here. In 1911 the 'SPD Volksheim' became the 'Spandauer Lichtspiele' cinema. ”The“ Spandauer Lichtspiele ”opened on November 20, 2011, were a typical“ shop cinema ”on the ground floor of a residential building. In 1918 an initial expansion took place by purchasing the property behind the hall on Kirchgasse, so the “Film Palast” now had 600 seats. Like other Spandau cinemas, Havelstrasse was also operated by the “United Spandauer Lichtspiele”. Initially, this was represented by director Carl Bode and had its seat at Klosterstrasse 5. The cinema and society were continued by Czutzka & Co., Berlin SW68. For the cinema address book, they stated: 1000 seats, 874 are mentioned elsewhere. In the course of 1920 to Decla-Bioscop AG, Berlin. With this, the "Decla-Lichtspiele Spandau", probably also Decla-Filmpalast, changed to Universum Film AG in 1923/1924. The Decla's cinema name was retained as the Ufa theater, and silent films were shown daily with 900 seats. In the course of 1925, Ufa A.-G. surrendered the Spandau house. So in 1926 the "United Lichtspiele" came back as owner under Leo Storch. This is the basis for the information of 1926 as the founding year of the "Havel-Lichtspiele" in the cinema directory, for the 920 seats Ludwig Ujhazi GmbH with its projectionist LM Zwingenburg is registered. The Vereinigte Lichtspiele GmbH is then represented by Jacob Neiß, Leopold Storch and Joseph Majerowicz, each of whom owned other cinemas in Berlin. 750 seats, five musicians and daily games with two program changes for the Havel light games operated with silent films. In 1931 there was the switch to sound films with Melerob technology (sound film is registered from 1932).

When the owner changed in 1936, the number of seats was slightly reduced to 724, and the Havel light games were continued by the Spandauer Lichtspielbetriebe Walter Cartun KG. With his projectionist Felix Weiß, Cartun led the cinema through the war years and continued operations in the post-war years . “The open vestibule facing Havelstrasse was flanked by pillars, a motif that was repeated on the first floor and framed the field of names with curved letters. The longitudinally rectangular hall was supplemented by a tier in 1947 and the capacity ... increased. "The light shows have slide options, there are three performances a day, Cartun remains the owner in the 1950s and until 1967, the number of seats is steadily improving: 669 ( 1949), 680 (1950), 770 (1952), and from 1953 there is space for 766 spectators. In addition, two more performances per week will be added to the Havel light plays this year. With the complete renovation in 1955 by the Lichtspiel architect Heinz Groh, the widescreen presentation was also made possible. On August 5, 1955, the "Aladin-Lichtspiele" opened. The previously level floor has been raised for better visibility. "1955: Aladin-Filmtheater, Berlin-Spandau (formerly Havel-Lichtspiele): reopened with 786 seats" () In the "Aladin" there are 778 high upholstered folding armchairs from Kamphöner. The picture and sound system is CinemaScope 4-channel magnetic sound and the widescreen type Sonora-Gigant has dimensions of 4.5 m × 11.0 m (size ratio: 1: 2.55). There is a Philips FP 6 demonstration machine for playback and the amplifier and speakers are also from Philips, and there is a slide installation. The three daily performances are supplemented by a late night and a youth performance. From 1959, CinemaScope single-channel optical sound, SuperScope and Perspecta are also registered for projection. On February 3, 1969, the "Aladin" closed when the number of visitors fell. The building was occupied by a supermarket, with the cinema structures being retained, as with other remodeling. With the construction of the U-Bahn to Spandau , the old buildings opposite the cinema were removed by driving under the Spandau old town, and after the Spandau U-Bahn went into operation at the end of the 1980s, they were renewed and supplemented. The Havelstraße became a pedestrian zone on June 3, 1988 .

“On November 28, 1996, the completely newly built“ KinoCenter Spandau ”(only the original facade remained) opened at the traditional Havelstrasse in the old town. Two halls were built on the ground floor and three halls on the first floor with a total of 1015 seats. ”It was opened by the“ To the movies ”group, which had also reactivated the Steglitz“ Titania Palace ”. Each room was individually designed and was initially given a Spanish-related name: Room 1 'Aladin', Room 2 'Citadel', Room 3 'Altstadt', Room 4 'Havel' and Room 5 'Kolk'. These names were given up in the future. In 1997 it became the “Spandauer FT Betriebsges. mbH “12163 Berlin, Schloßstraße is the operating company. Like almost all of the “To the Movies” houses, the KinoCenter Spandau was renamed to the Cineplex brand on May 12, 2005. In 2008 the foyer was redesigned and the separate cash register was relocated to the snack counter. In summer 2013 all five halls were renovated and redesigned. Dolby Digital 7.1 is available in all five cinema rooms with a total of 1,071 seats for viewers .

Originally, at this point (Carl-Schurz-Straße 49, until 1939 Potsdamer Straße 34, until 1754 Klosterstraße) in the old town was the Palais of Prince Heinrich , the remains of which in the courtyard are under monument protection. This building used for the district court was destroyed in 1945. After the site had been cleared, a cinema was built in 1956. “On August 10, 1956, the Forum-Filmtheater opened in a new building opposite the St. Nikolai Church on Reformationsplatz. The canvas was 18 m × 8 m in size. ... The movie theater was built according to plans by the architect Pierre de Born. ”(). “The location in the lively Carl-Schurz-Straße directly opposite the Reformation Church forced the architect Pierre de Born to design the 30 m wide facade with a decidedly simple design, which with its red clinker bricks blended in well with the old houses. In consideration of the church, large-scale advertising had to be avoided. A narrow light surface above the entrance doors cleverly compensated for this deficiency. The construction company Frankfurt-Berlin GmbH built the completely new building. A bright foyer in a soft apple green ensured that the visitors got in the right mood before they entered the theater, which is equipped with 810 high upholstered seats. The house was laid out in such a way that it could be expanded to 1000 seats (in anticipation of the elimination of the zone border - but at this point the cinema had long since ceased to exist). In the modern lines of the auditorium, the walls of which were upholstered with Acella at the bottom and covered with velor above, which stretched to the stage and continued in the curtain of the same color, the ceiling design (Rigips acoustic panels) that the architect used was particularly striking had created seven indirectly lit steps. Half of the theater was designed as parquet flooring, the rest in a stepped continuation of the ranks, so that an excellent view was guaranteed from all seats. The cinema and sound equipment consisted of a Zeiss-Ikon Dominar-Variant apparatus, which was set up for CinemaScope and four-channel magnetic sound. "()

The owner was the Berlin cinema owner Walter Feindt & Sons, managing director Olaf Feindt. The cinema for widescreen films had 810 highly upholstered folding armchairs, model Herford by Schröder & Henzelmann. There were three shows a day and a late night, a two-week matinee show every week, and occasional film art. There was a theater and open license. For the film screening, the cinema had an Ernemann X machine (light source Becklicht, aspect ratio: 1: 2.55), an amplifier for the sound: Zeiss Ikon-Dominar Variant and three Ikovox D and 12 effects loudspeakers as well as a slide device for playback with sound. Due to its diminishing financial success, Feindt closed the venue on October 6, 1968. The cinema was still being used in 1968 by an Albrecht discount supermarket. The cinema foyer was built over with a residential building at the end of the 1980s, which the former cinema still used as a shop (as of 2016).

The “Savoy” movie theater at the western end of Staakener and the corner of Seegefelder Strasse near the Spandau West S-Bahn station was opened in 1959. The master plumber Höfling from Falkenhagener Straße (Spandau) had commissioned the cinema since 1957 and initially operated it himself. At the start of construction in 1957, the designs came from Pierre de Born, the flat cinema building was completed by architect Wolfgang Hilbig. Previously, plot 87/89 was undeveloped. Right from the start, the cinema had wide-screen equipment for CinemaScope single-channel optical sound and SuperScope in a ratio of 1: 2.35. The upholstered armchairs came from Kamphöner, the cinema technology came from Philips, including the sounding slide. The demonstrations took place daily, 22 times a week, with a late show.

“A steel and glass construction gave the entrance area a cool touch. The lettering shone brightly in curved letters above the roof of the house. A program display and illuminated showcases on both sides of the single-storey ticket hall in front created a certain suction effect in the inviting foyer, which was cleverly enlarged by mirrors. In the hall with high parquet flooring, the lilac-colored plastic covering of the walls in a diamond pattern looked bizarre and created an unusual triad of colors with the red wooden panel and blue chair covers. The auditorium was brought to a successful conclusion by a convex curved wall with a stage in front of which the first rows of seats were concave. […] The Savoy had a very large projection room. The two projectors, two Phillips FP 51, looked small. In 1979 carbon arc lamps were still used and the film was still shown nude, in contrast to other cinemas. The good old hand winder was still in use. The entrance music was still played with a record player, although a cassette recorder was already used in other movie theaters. ”() The number of seats is given for the 1960s as 648, 1980 as 638. From the end of the 1970s, the Savoy was operated by the daughter of the master plumber, director Gertraude Rückwardt, until it was closed.

For 1917 the “Union Theater” with 400 seats is owned by the United Spandauer Lichtspiele (director Carl Bode). The indication of the number of seats seems to be questionable: In the cinema address book there are only 300 seats for the following year 1918 and Czutzka & Co. even registered 500 seats in 1920. The addendum for 1920 also says: "This theater now belongs to Decla-Bioscop AG, Berlin."

1932-1961
BW
In 1932, engineer A. Gilnas gave films in the hall of the Reschke restaurant at Lehrter Strasse 37 (Staaken-Gartenstadt), and opened as the “Union Theater” with seating for 400.

The Lehrter Straße, which has been on the Lehrter railway line since 1870, was renamed Eichholzbahn on September 9, 1931. East of the settlement area between the two railway lines ( to Lehrte and Hamburg ) (probably) the alternative designation Straße 325 remained, partly changed to reciprocal numbering. The cinema property was located 500 m east of Staaken train station between the street on the railway line and Neustaakener Graben, according to the current location on the Eichholzbahn at the corner of Hackbuschstraße (until 1935 Scheidtstraße). The restaurant property of Helene Reschke is in 1943 as Eichholzbahn 36.38 in the address book (the garden town houses addressed with 36-110), in the cinema address book the Capitol is addressed with Eichholzbahn 37/38 before 1945 and after 1945 as street 325 No. 28-34. On the railway side there was always a transition to the properties in the south.

In 1935, 200 cinema seats were registered for the “Union Theater”. The cinema in the restaurant was replaced by the cinema. “There was a garden restaurant right next to the cinema. The entrance was on the Eichholzbahn. In the middle of the covered anteroom stood the ticket booth, which was reminiscent of a house that used to stand at the entrance to the platform of the Berlin S-Bahn. An employee of the S-Bahn sat in this little house and validated the tickets. We said that this is the little house where the ticket clipper sits. The anteroom was closed with an iron grille door. Above the iron lattice door on the roof of the anteroom was written "CAPITOL" in red letters. " from 1941 even with 478 places. There were daily screenings, the cinema had a stage 4–5 m × 7 m. In the post-war years, Alexander Bartha continued to run the Capitol-Lichtspiele with 470 seats. In 1953, Attila Sajo becomes his partner (482 places). Due to the exchange of territory between the Allies in 1945 because of the Staaken and Gatow airfields, the cinema property initially came under East Berlin control ( West Staaken , since 1952 the Nauen district). The Berlin Wall stood on the Finkenkruger Weg to the west. Presumably, the Capitol was also a border cinema in the British sector, accessible from the train station from the western areas of the Potsdam district. In 1957, Bartha and Sajo equipped the (East) Staakener Capitol for widescreen presentations with CinemaScope single-channel light tone 1: 2.35. There were upholstered folding armchairs in the more expensive seats, and a total of 17 performances were played seven days a week. The cinema technology consisted of the Ernemann IV demonstration machine, amplifiers from Körting (then Lorenz in 1961 ) and slides with sound.

When the Berlin Wall was erected , the cinema closed in 1961. The cinema building and the bar remained unused for a long time. Around 1977 it was used by a carpet shop and then demolished. With the opening of the border , the residential area became attractive again and in the 1990s five semi-detached houses (Hackbuschstrasse 2–2J) were built

BW
The garden restaurant Hornemann at Königstrasse 110 with the garden at Berliner Strasse 1 had a hall in which (probably the first) film screenings took place in Staaken. The “Lichtspiele Staaken” with 280 seats in the Hornemann restaurant is included in the Reichs-Kino address book of the Lichtbühne publishing house in September 1921. The cinema operations carried out by Alfred Pett from Spandau, Adamstrasse 33, were probably closed again the following year. The current location corresponds to the property at Nennhauser Damm 67 on Bullengraben. The corner property in the Staaken (village) center opposite the church belonged to Weststaaken as a result of the exchange of territory since 1945 and ended up in the death strip between Spandau and the GDR district Nauen in 1961, which is why the area between Hauptstrasse and Bullengraben was cleared for the construction of the wall . As a result, there are no more remains of the cinema-restaurant, the three-family house with a clinker facade, Nennhauser Damm 67-71 (odd), was built on the previous location between 2002 and 2005.

The cinema at Finkenkruger Weg 69 was opened in a barracks in 1951/1952 for West-Staaken and Albrechtshof. West Staaken was exchanged for Gatow Airport in 1945 by agreement between the Soviet and British troops. In 1951 the western part of Staakens (“democratic sector”) was practically detached from Spandau through police operations and, with the construction of the wall, finally came to the Nauen district of the former GDR. The cinema had around 400 seats and is recorded in address books under “Filmbühne Staaken” from the 1950s to 1980s. After the political change , the area was assigned to the Berlin district of Spandau, which received a second movie theater for the then Topas . “After the fall of the Wall you found a barrack. No sign of neon advertising. The entrance was on the left side of the barracks. There were obviously no showcases for the colorful cinema pictures in front of the cinema. After opening the front door, one entered the foyer and looked at a large table that was decorated with sweets and drinks. The cinema tickets were also available here. The foyer was large and brightly lit. To the left of the table was the entrance to the hall. It was a well-tended cinema with old cinema seating. There was a wooden stage under the green curtain that was illuminated. "()

The Staaken film theater was in a remote location in a settlement of one or two-family houses and the operation did not pay off. It was closed in 1991. The “Fuchsbau Staaken” event house is located at Finkenkruger Weg 69. and in the former cinema building on the neighboring property at Zeestower Weg 13 there was a storage room that is now also used as a private house.

In 1956, a barracks in the “Birkenwäldchen” garden colony was rebuilt and the cinema was installed in what was then the arbor area on Heerstrasse in the corner between Sandstrasse and Heerstrasse. The film screenings were run by Carl-Heinz Thews from Tempelhof on five days, with 12 screenings per week and one matinee or late screening. The cinema name was derived from the colony name. The cinema was equipped with the widescreen system 1: 1.85, there was a Nitzsche B apparatus (Nitzsche Reform, Lichtquelle Becklicht) for projection, amplifiers from Lorenz and loudspeakers from Klangfilm for the sound, plus slide playback with sound. The 175 spectator seats from Kamphöner were flat and upholstered folding armchairs. The small garden cinema was closed again in 1961. When the residential quarter on Blasewitzer Ring was built at the beginning of the 1970s, it no longer existed.

In 1949 the Wilhelmstadt film theater opened at Weissenburger Strasse 35 in a bakery store that was burned out during the war . Hans Brosius was managing director of the 400-seat cinema with "Wilhelmstadt Lichtspielhaus GmbH Otto Marschke & Co. KG". From 1952 Otto Marschke took over the management, from 1957 Gerda Stremel. The game was played twice a day. The house had a stage of 8 m × 6 m × 5 m and had a theater license. For the demonstrations there were two Ernemann II projectors and a sounding slide, amplifier and loudspeakers from Klangfilm. The seats were partly wooden folding armchairs, partly upholstered seats from Kamphöner. 1957 was set up for wide screen 1: 1.85 (light source: Becklicht) and a late and a youth performance was added. There is no evidence for 1961, the film stage is included in the 1962 cinema address book, but in 1963 the cinema was closed. At that time, the St. Wilhelm Church in need of renovation had to be expanded. The old church was torn down in 1963 to make room for Ulrich Craemer's new building. The community used the recently closed cinema as an emergency church until 1965. “The service was celebrated on the stage, the sacristy was located behind the film curtain. Only the rattling of the cinema seats is said to have disturbed the services. ”() After that, the rooms were used by the Jehovah's Witnesses as the Kingdom Hall in Spandau Ost.

The former cinema complex in 2009
The former Britannia Center Spandau , known as the "British Forces Families Center" (BFFC), was built in 1990 by the Property Services Agency (PSA) for the British armed forces on the site of the Spandau War Crimes Prison. The Britannia Center consisted of the new Shopping Complex and the new Cinema Complex as well as five pre-existing but completely refurbished two- and three-story buildings. It was opened in stages from September 1990 to mid-1991. The SSVC - Sound and Vision Center and a Jerboa Cinema (with 230 seats at Wilhelmstrasse 21) were located in the cinema complex. After the Berlin Infantry Brigade was dissolved in mid-1994, the Britannia Center Spandau lost its name and became the only unnamed shopping center in Berlin. After being used by various retail companies (Aldi in the former cinema), the buildings were rebuilt in such a way that nothing is reminiscent of the former state, the cinema complex disappeared completely.

The "Kino Jerboa" on Wilhelmstrasse went on strike with the comedy Familie Feuerstein . “It is uncertain whether the most modern movie theater in the district will open again. The fate of the second Btiten cinema in Spandau has already been sealed: The Astra closes forever. When the British Army left Spandau, they left behind not only barracks, but also two movie theaters. On September 7th, the 3rd Air Force Division of the German Armed Forces received the keys to the headquarters building at Gatow airfield - and thus to the "Astra" cinema. In October the "Britannia Center" on Wilhelmstrasse will come into German hands. The centerpiece includes the showpiece of the two Spandau British light games: the Jerboa - in German: Jerboa. The cinema, which only opened in spring 1991, has been closed since July 15th. […] 250 seats, arranged in steps and ventilated from below, plus a large stage that was also used for theater performances. […] Yorck-Kino GmbH waves it away: We are very cautious about Spandau, said co-partner Knut Steenwerth. The district has been a "hot spot" since United Cinemas has been thinking internationally about building a multiplex cinema with 2500 seats here. The cinema was only opened in the spring of 1991.

BW
The cinema owner Walter Cartun commissioned the architect Heinz Groh to build the 598-seat theater "Regina" in the busy Pichelsdorfer Straße. “The seemingly free-floating shape of the building rested on two large V-pillars on the street front. It was built in reinforced concrete and covered with a steel truss roof and a solid roof ceiling. [...] The foyer, which was laid out on the ground floor, was enclosed on three sides in full height by glass walls and gave the impression of particular spaciousness. This was underscored by the uniformly chessboard-like laid artificial sandstone slab floor from the forecourt to the foyer. The gently sloping seating offered an excellent view of the 110 m² metal projection surface. The house had fully automatic air conditioning, oil heating and an inductive system for the hearing impaired. The walls were clad with precious woods, the stage front was kept in yellow with black patterns. "()

Before the house numbers were changed in 1938 (changed to Pichelsdorfer Strasse 116, straight), the property at Pichelsdorfer Strasse 106 (continuously) was only built on the street front and extended 110 meters to Kröwelstrasse 27 (until 1938 No. 13). The name of the cinema took up the tradition of the Regina-Lichtspiele in Klosterstrasse, which was owned by Cartun from 1937. The cinema that was destroyed in the war was 650 m away from the new location. The new "Regina Spandau" was opened on September 5, 1958. It was Walter Cartun's eighth cinema, four of them in Berlin, two in Kaiserslautern and two in Hamburg . There were high upholstered armchairs from Wegener for the spectator seats. Equipped for 1: 2.35 wide screen (CinemaScope single-channel optical sound) from the start. The technology for picture and sound came from Philips: FP 56 demonstration machine (light source: Xenon) and sounding slide. The managing director of Cartun was Felix Weiss, for three performances there was a matinee and a late performance every day, and film art performances every second Thursday. After the cinema was closed in 1969, what remained on Metzer Platz was an unadorned, simplified low-rise building, initially used by a grocery chain, and now occupied by a drugstore.

In 1919 Richard Teuber opened the “Flora-Lichtspiele” in Pichelsdorfer Straße. With 300 seats in the cinema address book, they were recorded daily. According to other sources, cinema operations began in 1915. The property with a street width of 15 meters and a depth of 50 meters was built on in this size (low-rise building: 13 m × 25 m), set back from the street by 10 meters. The change of the address of the Lichtspiele in 1938 from Pichelsdorfer Straße 39 to 49 is due to the conversion of the property counting from horseshoe to reciprocal numbering . "Spandau. The earlier "Flora-Lichtspiele" were opened under the name "Stalactite Light Games". "() Since the" Stalactite Light Games "actually resembled a stalactite cave inside, the renaming by Teuber is probably due to renovation work inside, The additional capacity was given as 198 seats. From 1928 there are again 275 places available. Mechanical music equipment was available for silent film accompaniment, and sound film screenings were made possible from 1934. After Richard Teuber's death in 1938, Alwine Teuber continued to run the cinema. In 1939 the capacity increased again to 329. In 1943 Alwine is the owner of a cinema in the residential part, the stalactite light plays are entered in the commercial part and the owner and the stalactite light plays and coffee are entered in the address part for house 49.

The cinema was not resumed until 1951/1952. Since then, the stalactite light plays belonged to Szlapka & Co. and Alfons Szlapka is the managing director. The cinema now had 527 seats, was used three times a day, the projection device was an Erko from Ernemann-Werke AG , the amplifiers came from Klangfilm , and there was a slide projection. From 1957 there are two performances per day and one late performance per week, for the audience there were wooden seats from Kamphöner, slide playback with sound. In 1959 the presentation of wide screens (light source: Xenon) became possible with the CinemaScope single-channel light tone system in a ratio of 1: 2.35. There were again three performances a day. In 1966, Szlapka closed its operation as a cinema and the premises were used by a supermarket. An Asian restaurant has been in the house since 2007.
