introduction

“At the bird shooting in Steglitz [in August 1903] the cinematographs of Wilhelm Hartkopf, who also showed an unspecified 'museum', and [the cinematograph] of a Mr. Salzmann played. There was also an American and Russian swing, merry-go-rounds, athletes and giant girls, shooting galleries, photographers, and a number of play and sales booths. Business and weather very bad. ”(): At the shooting festival in Steglitz in May 1910, in addition to a bear theater, a dog theater and a specialty theater, a cinematograph operated by the showman Karl Birkeneder was also represented.

The first verifiable cinemas in Steglitz started in 1907. There were smaller, less representative rooms like elsewhere in restorations or as a shop cinema . They opened in streets with heavy public traffic, such as Schlossstrasse, which was already central at the time. Between 1907 and 1910 the “ Metropol-Lichtbildtheater ”, the “ Flora-Kino ” and the “ Palast-Theater ” were located up until the construction of the large-scale cinema Titania-Palast , followed by “ Das Deutsche Theater ” and “ PT Lichtspiele ” in Steglitz City Park in 1911 ". Groß-Lichterfelde was probably more suitable for cinematograph theater in 1909, with the establishment of the Central Cinema on Hindenburgdamm, than Zehlendorf, where light plays followed for the first time in 1918.

The cinema schedule was up-to-date, so that the Steglitzer does not have to "take the time-consuming journey to Berlin if one wants to enjoy the latest and most popular performances of contemporary film art!" Supporting program is an American Western as a plastic film 'Plastigram - The Film of the Third Dimension'. Glasses distributed free of charge [gave viewers the impression] that the screen was no longer about 'pictures', but as personalities and objects emerged in full, vivid appearance. ”() For the silent films there was also background music Film lectures. At the beginning of December 1927, the Albrechtshof-Lichtspiele used the program-filling cultural film “Das Schaffende Amerika” for a Sunday matinee at 11 o'clock, commented on by the speaker, Captain Gottfried Speckmann. On October 19, 1929, the sex researcher Magnus Hirschfeld was in Steglitz, where he gave lectures on the sexual question in night performances in the Globus-Palast and the Bismarck-Lichtspiele and spoke about the Austrian cultural film Hygiene of Marriage , which dates back to 1922 .

The first silent films had a flammable celluloid base

As elsewhere, there were cinema fires : On November 14, 1927, a film caught fire in the projection room of the Südende cinema . “The Steglitz fire brigade fought the fire with a C-pipe and was able to move away after about 1½ hours of activity. There was no panic among the visitors. "()

In the 1920s, the southwest was an important location for the film industry . The " Deutsche Mutoskop- und Biograph GmbH " in (Groß-) Lichterfelde built the oldest German film studio in Zietenstrasse 10 in 1904, the large glass studio that was used exclusively for the recording and production of films. Around 500 films were made during the period. In the early 1910s, Heinrich Bolten-Baeckers set up a studio. Film greats like Hilde Hildebrand , Paul Heidemann and Konrad Dreher made their film debut. Ernst Lubitsch shot the monumental film The Pharaoh's Wife on the open-air site “ Rauhe Berge ” . Steglitz was recognized as the “German Hollywood”. In 1920 a film was made about the " House of Children ", the first elementary kindergarten based on the Montessori method . In 1928 the construction of the " Titania Palace " was documented in the film that was shown at the opening of the cinema.

“International Film Festival in Lankwitz, is that even possible? Berlinale boss Dieter Kosslick has been distributing a bit of the great glamor to the less breathtaking corners of the city since 2010. In Lankwitz, the Thalia, built in 1953 at Kaiser-Wilhelm-Strasse 71, is there. "()

Over the years there have been 45 cinemas in the district. Of 29 prewar cinemas, nine had to close due to war damage . 15 district cinemas with 500 to 700 seats were opened in the post-war years , seven of them in the late 1940s and more until 1957. Currently there are still five cinemas (as of 2016) in Steglitz-Zehlendorf: the “Thalia Movie Magic” in Lankwitz is the oldest The existing cinema in the district, in Steglitz there are the "Adria Filmtheater" and the " Cineplex Titania", in Dahlem the "Capitol" and the "BaLi" in Zehlendorf.

In the following list the cinemas are sorted alphabetically according to districts and within these according to the last or existing cinema name. The Berlin address book names the commercial part of the suburbs for the last year before the formation of Greater Berlin Paul Eitner for Berlin-Lichterfelde, in Berlin-Steglitz are Harry Fabian (with the cinema theater Thorwaldsenstrasse 25), Christian Fonfara (Schildhornstrasse 76 1st floor) , Kino-Betriebs-Gesellschaft Rothenbücher & Fehr (Florastraße 19), Hugo Lemke ("Lichtspiele", Albrechtstraße 132), "Lichtbildtheater Albrechtshof" (Albrechtstraße 1a), "Palast-Theater Eugen Pleßner" (Schloßstraße 92), A.

Halls 3 and 4 emerged from the large hall 1. The foyer was built as a mini supermarket on the way to the cash register . This arrangement was dissolved by the current cinema operator Peter Wagner (also Casablanca), who took over the cinema in 1998. The glazed wall within the foyer still marks the location of the former shopping facility, but is now only used as a box office and for selling snacks. “The Thalia Kino is near Lankwitz Church.

Technical equipment (by Ufa-Handel): two Ernemann-X-projectors [sound film-clear sound amplifier] and a hearing aid system. In the first days of its existence, the house was particularly popular with the people of Lichterfeld. ”() The glass bay in the middle and the expansive, roofed entrance area with the sloping supports that support the canopy are powerful elements of the simple beauty Architecture of the economic boom. Older fields of lights remember having seen all the films with Maria Schell here.

The walls and the parapet of the 600-seat theater are covered with wooden strips. It is projected from a distance of 24 m onto a screen of around 3.75 X 5.0 meters. "()

The film theater had a stage with a license for theater and opera performances. Until 1961, “Der Spiegel” also served as a border cinema . From 1956 Kurt Wronna ran Spiegel for the "Kurt Rilk Lichtspieltheater-Betriebe" with two performances a day, two late and one additional performances a week and a matinee performance a month. At the same time, the conversion to wide screen films with CinemaScope four-channel magnetic sound in the format 1: 2.55 took place.

The architecture elements typical of the cinema, such as the screen arch and the audience stand, were hidden behind ceilings and walls. The building was used as a grocery discounter for 25 years. At the beginning of 2004, Frank Lüske (Biolüske) commissioned the architects Kleyer and Koblitz to redesign the building for an organic market . The story that still existed was not negated and the cinema typical remained recognizable. The 500 m² organic supermarket was created on the ground floor. The old auditorium became an event location with various uses, so with Gaggenau and Poggenpohl the first cooking studio in Germany was planned in an organic supermarket. The facade like the cinema entrance has been preserved.

Albrechtstrasse  1a 1906-1967
Postcard from the 1960s

Since 1906, silent films have been shown in the “ Hotel Albrechtshof ” , as was customary at that time in gastronomic establishments . In 1912, Mr. Habermann opened the light show with 700 seats in the large hall on the first floor of the Albrechtstrasse courtyard building at Albrechtstrasse 1a / Schlossstrasse 82/83. “Last Friday, Mr Habermann opened a cinema theater in the great hall of the 'Albrechthof' hotel. The theater hall is elegantly furnished and, like the vestibules, covered with a red carpet. The technical facility was managed by Mr. Treder. ”() The Albrechtshof was a building complex ( Hermann-Ehlers-Platz ) with a hotel, restaurant and theater, which was built in 1863 by Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Albrecht and demolished in 1967 for the Steglitz roundabout .

From 1913 onwards, Max Dillon & A. Melcher carried out the “Reform-Lichtspiele im Albrechtshof”. The cinema address book then gives Carl Lautenbach (innkeeper, hotelier) as the owner of the Albrechtshof-Lichtspiele in 1917. The number of places in the “Reform-Lichtspiele” was 650, the games were played daily and the program changed weekly, sometimes every half week. The admission prices are given as 0.40 to 2.00 RM . From 1920 the "Albrechtshof-Lichtspiele" with 700 seats are owned by Wilhelm Reimer, but Carl Lautenbach is again listed as the owner of the cinema in 1924 in the cinema directory. The visitor entered the narrow, parallel foyer through a four-axis, wide hall, from where he could enter the hall with a gallery through five entrances. The exterior of the Wilhelminian style building was illuminated at night by many fluorescent tubes and illuminated letters with the name "Albrechtshof-Lichtspiele". "In mid-September 1924, the Albrechtshof Light Games showed the opening act for an American Western the plastic film Plastigram - The film of the third dimension . Glasses distributed free of charge allegedly gave viewers the impression that the screen was no longer about 'pictures', but as personalities and objects emerged in full, three-dimensional life. ”() In 1927 Lautenbach left 850 seats and from 1929 a hall capacity for 909 spectators. The screenings took place daily, there is a 7 m × 7 m × 9 m stage, the band for accompanying the silent films consists of 12–15 musicians, later 5–11. There were film lectures on silent films: as in early December 1927 with the speaker Captain Gottfried Speckmann in a Sunday matinee at 11 o'clock for the cultural film Das Schaffende Amerika . In 1930 the “Albrechtshof Lichtspiele GmbH” is given as the owner of the cinema. From 1931, sound films were made possible by Kinoton.

In 1937 the cinema went to the Albrechtshof-Lichtspiele Brammer & Co. with the managing director Hans Brammer. The capacity was 893 ... 871. From 1939, the Berlin cinema owner Hugo Lemke joined the "Albrechtshof-Lichtspiele Brammer & Co." The effects of the war caused severe damage to the buildings. After the cinema was refurbished in 1948 with a more simple design and without the former gallery with 480 seats, cinema operations continued in the post-war years . The post-war cinema was operated by “Brammer und Groth”, and in 1950 the rights of ownership were transferred to the “Lichtspielbetriebs-Gesellschaft Albrechtshof Steglitz mbH” with Artur Lehmann, Hans Brammer and Hans Moldmann as registrants . The equipment was the Ernemann apparatus and the sound film amplifier Eurodyn. There were three performances a day. From 1952 480 seats, an Askania APXII as a projector and the theater license for the stage of 8 m × 3 m × 5 m are registered. Furthermore (1955) there were 530 cinema seats with upholstered folding armchairs from Kamphöner. The Askania projector enabled playback in the CinemaScope image and sound system with four-channel magnetic sound in widescreen format 1: 2.55, and in single-channel light sound with a size ratio of 1: 2.35. A late performance was added this year. A (new) Bauer B 14 projector with a xenon light source is included for 1960. In this constellation, the Albrechtshof light plays (noted here: American sector, Steglitz) were preserved until 1967. To construction offset the buildings were to reach the roundabout on the grounds Schloß- / Albrecht / Kuhligkshofstraße in the northwest of the station Steglitz (formerly the southern part of Gutsdorfes Stegelitz) demolished.

The double tenement house at Bismarckstrasse 68 and 69 north of Horst-Kohl-Strasse 19 across from Lauenburger Platz was destroyed along with the neighboring houses in the war. The remains of the building were cleared away by 1953. The " Apollo " was built in 1954 on the corner lot 68 by the Berlin cinema architect Hans Bielenberg . This was followed in 1957 by the construction of the “Allegro” on plot 69. The double cinema at a street intersection with its glass connecting corridor was an example of the functional 1950s architecture, loosened up by rounded advertising surfaces and embedded in profiles. Both cinemas were designed by the Berlin cinema architect Hans Bielenberg and built for the "Arthur Ludwig-Theaterbetriebe". The Allegro-Filmbühne was equipped with high upholstered folding armchairs from Kamphöner, a Bauer B12 projection machine (xenon light) and sound film amplifier, as well as the hearing-impaired system on the 468 seats. It was possible to reproduce CinemaScope in single-channel optical sound and four-channel magnetic sound on 1: 2.55 widescreen, plus VistaVision and all slide formats. 21 performances and a matinee were played every week on all seven days. In 1960 the program specialized as "allegro, house of film art".

“Seldom enough that special, artistic films are given their own house. Even more seldom that a cinema is built for him. This is what happened now in Berlin-Steglitz, where the Arthur Ludwig Theaterbetriebe in Bismarckstraße, on Lauenburger Platz, opened a real studio theater with the Allegro. A low, simple, elongated building that is connected by a transition to the long-standing Apollo movie theater by the same entrepreneur - that is the Allegro. Architect Hans Bielenberg created a real gem for Steglitz. Through the foyer, which is separated from the ticket office by several steps, visitors reach the parquet, which has 468 seats. Pastel colored walls don't distract attention from the wide canvas. The interior of the room is extremely functional, excessive splendor has been avoided. A studio theater is not a luxury theater. Siemens & Halske, Sound Film Department, and Märkische Maschinenfabrik supplied the technical equipment for the house. Seating: Heinrich Kamphöner. Acoustic panels: Werner Genest. Construction management: Erhard Klöckling. True customer service is the Allegro's private car park, which has been made up of a complete, fenced-in building plot equipped with whip lamps. At least 60 cars of the film art enthusiasts can park here. The Arthur Ludwig theater operations now comprise eight theaters: five of them in Berlin (Allegro, Apollo, Adria, Heli, Albrechtshof) and three in Hameln (Deli, Capitol, Schauburg). The Allegro opening program already offered something special: the Berlin premiere of the Spanish film ' Calabuig ' (distributor: RKO). ”() The“ Allegro ”with the addition“ House of Film Art ”was open until the closing day on July 28, 1985. The cinema was then used as a church room. The cinema building was demolished around 1990 - the Apollo on the street corner a little later. A six-storey row of residential buildings with retail space was then built, extending from Horst-Kohl-Strasse 18/19 to Bismarckstrasse and Kissinger Strasse. Pictures for the cinema are available on the Internet with legitimacy.

It was opened by the Arthur Ludwig Theaterbetriebe and can show CinemaScope films. UFA-Handel supplied Bauer B12 machines. Heinrich Bielenberg was an architect. Seating: Schröder & Henzelmann. ”() This was followed in 1957 by the construction of the“ Allegro ”on plot 69. The double cinema at a street crossing was an example of the functional 1950s architecture with its glass connecting corridor, which was loosened up by rounded and profiled advertising spaces . The Apollo was played with three performances (3:30 p.m., 6:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.) every day, as well as a late performance per week. There was a theater license and, in addition to the farmer projector (light source: xenon), loudspeakers and amplifiers from sound film, the slide playback was done with sound. In addition to VistaVision, CinemaScope could play both single-channel optical sound and four-channel magnetic sound for the widescreen formats 1: 2.35 and 1: 2.55. The 660 seats had high-upholstered folding armchairs. The hearing aid system followed in 1960. The number of seats was reduced to 618 around 1970 and the Apollo remained unchanged until 1977. After the demolition of the two cinemas shortly before 1990 - initially the "Allegro" building - a six-storey row of residential buildings with shops and an underground car park was built. Kohl-Straße 18/19 into Bismarck- and Kissinger Straße.

“The figurehead and signpost at nightfall was the brightly lit round porch made of glass with a cash desk. The yellow ceiling and gray-white walls of the foyer contrasted with the floor, which was divided into a modern carpet pattern. A cloakroom closed with gray acella fabric, the sales stand, a bench and illuminated mirrors with built-in coffered ceiling gave the room a dignified touch. Latecomers could access the auditorium at the beginning of the performance through covered light locks. A high parquet floor rising from the middle was created without an expensive tier structure. After opening the main curtain, the acella fabric of the hall covering continued to run as an apron and picture curtain, giving the impression that the theater and stage were closely connected. Paul Döhler was responsible for the decoration work. A spacious projection room with the necessary ancillary rooms gave the theater management the opportunity to provide the most modern machines (B12), cine projectors and any additional fixtures that may be required. ”() Pictures and photos from the cinema are available on internet sources.

Under the name “Südender Lichtspiele” (1) there was a cinematograph theater at Potsdamer Straße 22 (since 1933: Benzmannstraße 31) from 1911 at the earliest.

In 1919 the "Südende-Lichtspielhaus" (2) opened at Lichterfelder Straße 21 (since 1957: Sembritzkistraße 5).

1) The property at Potsdamer Straße 22 (since 1933: Benzmannstraße 31) from Südende belonged to Steglitz before the formation of Greater Berlin (politically), while the Südende district was a locality to Mariendorf (Teltow district). In 1910, the property at Potsdamer Strasse 22 was designated as building land 16–18 and numbered 17. In 1911, the residential complex Potsdamer Strasse 22 and 23 with its nine staircases was owned by the architect Raubert (from no. 23) and some of it has already been let. The cinematograph theater had existed from 1911 at the earliest. In possession of houses 22 and 23, the building architect was replaced by director Küsel, and from 1915 by widowed director G. Küsel. In 1921 the cinema directory "Südender Lichtspiele" with 170 seats and daily performances is still mentioned. In the following cinema address books no cinema is named at this address. Heinrich Ziegenspeck from Fregestraße 49 was the owner from 1918 onwards. The cinema was (probably) closed in 1921. When the street was renamed in 1933, the address data of the exits from Potsdamer Strasse 22 to Benzmannstrasse 31–31c resulted. During the air raids on Südende, the residential buildings on Benzmannstrasse were also destroyed, especially the former building with the cinema. The ruins were cleared in 1959 at the latest and in 1962 a loose new building was carried out (Liebenowzeile district). The eight-story house at Benzmannstraße 31 is roughly above the cinema floor area.

2) In 1919 the "Südend Lichtspiele" opened at Lichterfelder Straße 21 on the western edge of Südende, which at the time belonged to Mariendorf. The owner of the "Lichtspielhaus Südende" was from at least 1924 the "Steglitzer Metropol-Lichtbildbühne GmbH" with managing director Max Victor. The cinema had 200 seats and the program was changed twice a day (Tuesday and Friday). In 1928 Walter Krüger became the owner. In November 1927 a film caught fire in the projector room and the Südende cinema was disrupted, but by the end of the year the cinema was reopened with new equipment. When Karl Bornemann took over the film venue in 1933, he expanded the number of seats to 330 and changed the name of his cinema to "Kammerlichtspiele". Until 1937 Georg Schibalski, who already owned cinemas, was the owner of the “Kammerspiele” - now Doellestrasse 73/74. In 1938 Georg Schibalski, Rütthard and Rudzki for a short time. The cinema remained in the possession of Schibalski until operations had to be closed. In August 1943, Südende was almost completely destroyed by bombs . As a result, further operation was no longer possible. On September 18, 1934, Lichtenrader Strasse was renamed Doellestrasse and the cinema property was renamed Doellestrasse 72/74. On July 31, 1947, the name was changed to Priesterweg 72/74. In connection with the development of the war-torn areas in Südende with residential buildings in a green area, the street was renamed Sembritzkistraße, the four-part, four-story apartment block on the area of ​​the former cinema was given the address Sembritzkistraße 1-7.

With the general development of audience numbers, the cinema had to close in 1965. The Weger household goods store moved into the vacant ground floor. “The cinema on Breitenbachplatz was really called 'Lida', which stood for 'Lichtspielhaus Dahlem'. The checkout room was exactly where the Weger household goods store is today. You can still see a typical 1950s column in the shop, which is a bit reminiscent of the old cinema glory. The actual cinema was probably first a bank branch, now a doctor's practice (orthopedist) is housed in the rooms. ”(). The house on Breitenbachplatz is a listed building.

Postcard from 1928

When in 1908 a fairground took place at the north end of Schloßstraße on the market square between Friedenau (zu Schöneberg) and Steglitz, there was an outpatient cinema on site at times. In 1927, the land-theater company cooperative acquired a piece of land on the edge of Friedenau on Schloßstrasse (corner of Gutsmuthsstrasse 28) for National-Film AG. Based on designs by the architects Schöffler, Schloenbach and Jacobi, the large cinema with 1924 seats will be built in 30 months. It opened on January 26, 1928 with a festival performance. The stars of the opening film Der Sprung ins Glück , a silent film with Carmen Boni and Hans Junkermann , who lives in Steglitz , as well as Martha Sonja , Otto Fee and Hans Brausewetter were present. The building was entered in the list of architectural monuments. The outer facade has been preserved true to the original, with the Cineplex cinema center being significantly changed from the original hall. In addition to the cinema program, there were regular theater and concerts in the hall.

The owner of the Titania-Palast is the National-Film-Theater GmbH, based in SW 48, Friedrichstrasse 10. It is played daily, the capacity is specified for 1900 spectators, the sound film technology came from Klangfilm. On October 29, 1929, the first sound film was played with the film The Singing Fool , until then the background music was provided by the 50-60-strong cinema orchestra.

The large cinema is named with 1915 audience seats and daily performances, the stage with 123 m². In the Berlin address books, Gutsmuthsstraße 27/28 is assigned to Schloßstraße 4, the district boundary moved from the north side of Mommsenstraße to the southern development of Gutsmuthsstraße and the Titaniapalast was in Friedenau (Schöneberg administrative district) in the early 1930s and was assigned to Steglitz with the district reform in 1938 . In 1944 the Titania-Palast and other movie theaters were expropriated in favor of the UFA. The Titania Palace remained undestroyed during the war and the Berliner Philharmoniker played in the house as early as May 1945. The role of the UFA in the Nazi system meant that under occupation status, movie theaters in the American sector came under the administration of "USA Finance & Property Control" (based in Tempelhof, Viktoriastraße 15-18), which in August 1948 returned the confiscated house to German Use was handed over and Lemke got his property back and leased it to the Senate. In 1949 the hall was completely rebuilt to improve the acoustics, and in September 1949 it was reopened as a concert hall. In 1951 the Berlinale comes to the Titania Palast. Another renovation followed in 1953: a stage was built on the neighboring property, the stage was enlarged and the old dome on the ceiling of the auditorium was removed and the presentation was equipped with a cinemascope. The Senate's lease ended in 1954 and no purchase was made because the plans for building the opera house are already in place.

The Titania Palace remained the venue for concerts, theater performances and film programs until the 1960s; the opera and theater license for the 11 m × 14.5 m × 20 m stage exists.

Every week there are 16 film screenings for the 1866 audience seats, the seating is upholstered seats from Otto & Zimmermann. In 1956 Erich Hoffmann (Tegel, Bahnhofstrasse 1) became the managing director. When the financial situation worsened with the newly built opera and the philharmonic orchestra, the Berlin Operetten Theater is to be built in 1963. Another renovation follows: the hall is reduced by 400 seats, the stage is enlarged, the foyer is changed. BEWAG is setting up an office in the old foyer and the second ticket hall . In 1965 the operetta program was discontinued and the building was sold to Karl-Heinz Krüger-Quiring, who lost the Flora to the Karstadt Group for a department store. In June 1965, Quiring resold to Otto-Versand , who wanted to tear it down for his department store. For the time being, cinema operations ended on December 13, 1965 with the 1958 film, which was partially shot in the Titania Palace , There was only one time . The BEWAG lease until 1983 spared the traditional house from being demolished. With the sale to the corporation for house and property in 1967, the house was divided into storeys, the interior gutted and several shops set up, the room of the Titania was destroyed by the adaptation for retail stores. Some rows of seats from the former tier have been preserved on the upper floor for a future cinema. Instead of a new movie theater, the city stages were used as a rehearsal stage from 1972 to 1994. With the exception of the shops on the ground floor and the outside illuminated advertising, the house was listed as a historical monument in 1984.

With the closure of the rehearsal stage, the conversion to a multiplex with five cinemas (Halls 1 to 5), which opened on May 24, 1995, began. In mid-August 2007, two more halls were opened opposite Hall 2 and 3 in the 'Titania Palast'. The operating company "To the Movies" (Filmverleih- und Filmtheaterbetriebs GmbH Klein-Machnow) of managing directors Günther Mertins and Peter Sundarp changed the traditional name in 2008 to "CINEPLEX - Titania". The last renovation took place in 2013 while operations continued. “Since the renovation in 2014, the seven halls of the multiplex cinema have been individually furnished and with more than 1200 seats.” The address is Schloßstraße 4–5, 12163 Berlin-Steglitz, the entrance is at Gutsmuthsstraße 28, according to an inscription on the wall and an arrow to the entrance. The projection in the halls is digital, except for Halls 4 and 5 in 3D digital ( D-Cinema 2K3D) and Hall 2 also offers HFR . There is Dolby Digital 7.1 in all halls . Only room 1 is handicapped accessible. The 1222 seats in the Cineplex are spread over the seven halls

Steglitz Wrangel plays of light

( Location )

Schlossstrasse  48 1934-1945
The building complex 1973 with the Schlosspark Theater
The Wrangel-Lichtspiele opened in 1934 at Schloßstraße 48 at the corner of Wrangelstraße, on the site of the former Steglitz manor. The owner was the "Schloßpark Steglitz Lichtspiele GmbH", which was operated by the cinema owner Hugo Lemke and Lautenbach. The cinema had 456 seats and was played daily. The theater operation ended when the theater director Boleslaw Barlog moved into the Wrangel-Lichtspiele building in November 1945 . He opened the Schloßpark Theater here after losing this position in the Volksbühne in 1933 . The theater is a listed building. The Schloßpark-Lichtspiele have the same address but are in a different part of the building, on the left as seen from Schloßstraße.
Wannsee Wannsee light plays

( Location )

Koenigstrasse  49 1946-1968
Supermarket at the cinema location, 2013
The Wannsee Lichtspiele opened at Königstrasse 49 in 1946, and as in other outskirts, Berlin's cultural institutions moved into suitable rooms immediately after the end of the war due to the destruction of the inner city . The cinema of owner Siegfried Wagner from Berlin-Schlachtensee offered 333 viewers. There were two performances a day and two more a week. The cinema had a stage of 8.5 m × 5 m × 6.5 m. There were two projectors Bauer B 8 and Erko IV and a slide projection. In 1953 Elisabeth Zeller became the owner of the Wannsee-Lichtspiele. The cinema was considered a border cinema until 1961 . “The Wannsee light plays in Berlin, which previously belonged to Ms. Zeller, were taken over on April 1, 1954 by Ms. Soliman, the owner of the Zinnowwald light plays. This recognized all films completed by her predecessor but not yet played. All rental claims are settled. ”() With the takeover by Hamida Soliman, two Ernemann VII B projection machines are procured for the screening of the film. For the now 360 seats, there were partly upholstered cinema seats from Schröder & Henzelmann, partly flat upholstered seats. With the new projectors and amplifiers from Klangfilm, from 1957 it is possible to show films in CinemaScope and single-channel light sound in widescreen format 1: 2.35. As of 1959, there are even 537 spectator seats in the cinema directory. In 1952 Myriam Krytzki, who was married to a Russian painter and therefore stayed in East Berlin, inherited the Mila-Lichtspiele in Pankow from her mother. As early as 1961 it was expropriated as part of the nationalization of the East Berlin cinemas. Eugen and Myriam Krytzki then also moved to Wet-Berlin. Together with their two sisters, the Soliman heirs continued the “Zinnowald Lichtspiele” and the “Wannsee Lichtspiele”. The Zinnowwald-Lichtspiele were given up as early as 1958 for economic reasons. With the great death of the cinema in the late 1960s, the family tradition in the cinema finally dried up. The Wannsee Lichtspiele were closed in 1968. The buildings on the Königstrasse 49 site were demolished in 2007 and a supermarket was built from 2009, and a new Reichelt supermarket has been located at the former cinema site since 2011. In addition, the row houses 49a – 49c were built on the eastern building plot of the property (49 and 49a)
Zehlendorf Bali

( Location )

Teltower Dam  33 since 1946
Bali Cinema 2016

The Bali is located near the Zehlendorf S-Bahn station in a single-storey low-rise building (200 m² floor space) behind the house at Teltower Damm 33 on Gartenstraße. "BALI" actually means station light plays. The Bali opened in 1946 and has been in operation ever since. The cinematic basis was a projection system that Russian soldiers left behind in the former dance hall. The rooms in the annex of the "Burg Hotel", which was built around 1900, formerly used as a winter garden, were expanded into a dance hall in the 1920s. In 1949 Robert Kayser is listed as the owner of the Bali with 200 seats. The cinema offers two screenings a day, the projection equipment consists of the Erko IV projector and sound film amplifier, as well as the slide projection. In 1950 the heirs of Georg Schenk and Gertrud Gerkes were the owners, whose business was run by Käthe Schultz. When Mrs. Charlotte Schenk became the commissioner in 1953, in addition to the Klangfilm-Eurodyn amplifier and the Ernon projector, there was also an Ernemann IX demonstration machine. There are 16 performances per week. In 1957 the widescreen equipment for CinemaScope is mentioned in the cinema address book, which was possible with the two projectors (light source: pure coal) in single-channel light tone and the format 1: 2.35, the slide projection was with sound. The designated 209 seats are equipped with flat upholstered folding seats from Kamphöner. In 1973, when it was taken over by the co-founder of the Arsenal, Manfred Salzgeber (cineart GmbH, Post: Berlin 33 Cunostraße 65), in the 1970s, “bali-filmkunst” became the leading political cinema in Germany. As the cinema's program became more and more undemanding over the years, Manfred Salzgeber left 'Bali' in January 1978, accompanied by loud protests. Since 1978 "the film-crazy owner Helgard Gammert" has been running the cinema (14163 Berlin, Busseallee 35). The Bali had 142 places since the 1980s. The current equipment is 128 seats, the projection takes place in 35mm analogue as well as in digital 4K , the sound is offered in Dolby Digital 5.1 . The screen is 5 m × 8 m in size. Similar to a variety theater, the cinema has a dance floor and a small stage between the first row and the screen. A piano can be used at various events (including film screenings). Helgard Gammert continues to run the children's and youth program launched under Salzgeber. In 1986 she launched the Berlin “Children's Cinema Initiative”, in which a selected children's film toured 20 Berlin cinemas every month - supported by the Main Association of German Film Theaters. The cinema has received various awards from the Federal Ministry of the Interior, the Federal Ministry for Culture and Media Affairs and the Filmboard Berlin-Brandenburg for annual film programs. In 2005, Ms. Gammert was personally awarded the Federal Cross of Merit on ribbon. In addition to the daily film program, there are exhibitions, dance nights, poetry readings, lectures and theater events in the house.

The planning of a new cultural center in the 'Primuspalast' on Gartenstrasse, threatening Bali, was dropped for the time being due to a lack of investors. The vacant shop next to the 'Bali' was converted into the “Café Oscars” and is to be used as a venue for special events and as a foyer for the cinema. Images from the projection room and from 2007 are on internet sources.

Remarks

  • The Berlin address books are named according to the year of issue, since the editorial deadline for supplements is given around the turn of the year until January, the 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. In addition to residents, companies are only occasionally included in the street section of the address books.
  • Changed previous street names are given in italics to distinguish them from existing ones.
  1. Experts consider the building to be one of the best examples of cinema architecture from the 1950s. The cinema was closed in the mid-1970s and the building narrowly escaped demolition, which had already been requested from the building authorities.
  2. It can be assumed that the cinema was also set up at floor level on the ground floor of the rear annex created with the building of the house. This is also reflected in the floor space of 350 m² with space for 400 seats.
  3. In the cinema address books of the 1930s, the year of foundation is given as 1906. In 1912, a permanent establishment was established after the newspaper quote.
  4. “According to the cinema address book in 1940, the opening of this slide theater falls in 1906. Earlier address books, on the other hand, mention 1917 and Sylvana Hänsel's cinema book suggests 1913. In 1920 the hall had the impressive size of 700 seats for that time. ”In: AlleKinos.com
  5. The Flora-Lichtspiele were 150 meters from the Titania Palace.
  6. ^ The Lichterfelder Straße 13 belonged to the south end in the administrative district of Steglitz. In 1925 the property was undeveloped and the owner of the Griser nursery was building land. The street at the confluence of Lange and Lichterfelder Straße is named Mariendorfer to the west - offset by 30 meters - and to the east as Steglitzer Straße, both have been called Steglitzer Damm since 1957. In 1931 the southern part of Lichterfelder Strasse was incorporated into Borstellstrasse and assigned to Steglitz. This changed the address of the cinema. The property at Lichterfelder Strasse 13 in Südende became Norstellstrasse 1/3 in Steglitz. Nevertheless, the location of the Berlin-Südende cinema remained.
  7. ^ In the 1936 address book, the Polygon-Lichtspiel-Betriebe is still listed under Schorlemmerstrasse 2/4. This plot of land at Schorlemmerallee was renamed to Breitenbachplatz 21, and there was an extension of the four-storey residential buildings with shops on the ground floor of the Wohnungsfürsorge GmbH on vacant lots at Breitenbachplatz 17 and 19. Accordingly, the address book 1937 under Dahlem reads: “Schorlemmerallee 2/4 exists Not".

  8. The 1st and 2nd elementary school became the middle school I / III for boys and girls, as well as the upper secondary school, the Wrangel school and then the Steglitz high school for boys. Since the 1950s: Hermann Ehlers School on Elisenstrasse and the Friedrich Bayer School on Lauenburger Strasse (before 1960 Ringstrasse ), since the 1970s their neighboring on Lauenburger Strasse has been called Freiherr-v.-Hünefeld-Schule.
  9. The UFA operations were initially run under license from "USA Finance & Property Control" based in Tempelhof, Viktoriastraße 15-18.
  10. "From there [the former Thalia in Rheinstrasse] you can see the next cinema: the Titania-Palast. When it was built in 1927 (outside "New Objectivity", inside Art Deco ) it was still in Friedenau, ie the border between Friedenau and Steglitz ran right through the cinema, which led to all sorts of jokes at the time. Its attraction was the organ above the stage of the large hall (only one!), Which was brightly illuminated before the performances and passed the audience the time until the performances with organ music. In addition to films, theatrical performances, colorful afternoons and concerts were also given in the Titania Palace. In the summer of 1944 I saw the premiere of the film “The Woman of My Dreams” with Marika Rökk there, and just three weeks after the end of the war, the Berlin Philharmonic under Wilhelm Furtwängler gave a first concert here. ”: Where the Friedenauers and their neighbors once went to the cinema went. In: Schöneberg district newspaper, September 25, 2012
  11. “Planned and built as a modern and luxurious premiere cinema for the film company 'National.Film-Verleih- und Vertriebs AG', it caused a sensation with its idiosyncratic and, for the time, extremely cool architectural style. [...] The striking eye-catcher is the light tower. It is surrounded by 27 light rings and, with a height of 30 meters, is visible from afar into the night. The tower itself rises from long strips of light that transversely surround the base of the tower with the open spaces for the advertising posters. The window slots on the sides of the tower block and all the other windows, including those in the outbuildings, are brightly lit at night. Indirect light shines downwards from the elongated eaves of the two building wings. The two neon lettering shine violet. in Kino Wiki
  12. On Schlossstrasse there is “an almost impenetrable mass of inquisitive people who want to experience the special day of their neighborhood at least from outside.” Vossische Zeitung of January 28, 1928.
  13. National-Film AG bought the corner property on Gutsmuthsstrasse Schloßstrasse 4 in the Friedenau district and the adjoining property on Schloßstrasse which was in Steglitz. This resulted in the description 1–4: belongs to Berlin-Friedenau / 1–5: Post Berlin-Friedenau. Until 1937, Friedenau Schloßstraße 4 was owned by National Filmtheater GmbH, and for Steglitz at Schloßstraße 5, Grundstück-Theater-Betriebs AG was the owner (until 1933 together with National Filmtheater GmbH). From the address book in 1936 onwards, the "Tolirag Ton-Lichtbild-Reklame AG" (W 50 Kurfürstendamm 236) was the owner of the property in Steglitz until 1937 for Friedenau as the National Filmtheater GmbH. In the 1938 address book, the Titania-Palast-Gesellschaft was named for Friedenau and from 1939 for Steglitz.
  14. “The 'Outpost of the Political Cinema of the Federal Republic and West Berlin' offered politically difficult films that previously had no chance of being shown in theaters, guaranteed a two-week playing time. Films like 'The Bought Dream' by Helga Reidemeister about the Märkisches Viertel or 'Alone, they make you one' by the Rauchhaus collective drew not only viewers from Berlin, but also visitors from all over West Germany to the south of Berlin. ”From kinokompendium.de
  15. “The entrance fees are low (four to eleven marks), you won't find a beeping ec-cash register, but you get a coffee, tea or biscuit for free. A basket with stuffed animals is waiting behind the counter to give a little consolation in the children's performance. The delicacies on the black shelf also contain this certain type of brown-crispy pretzel sticks that are otherwise so difficult to obtain. The seating plan, approved by building permit No. 205 of April 27, 56, hangs in one corner. And a tanned photograph of the old castle hotel: 'This used to be a dance hall, […] and in front of it a casino for Prussian officers. '". quoted according to Die Welt, 1999.
