List of cinemas in Berlin's Tempelhof-Schöneberg district

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of cinemas in the Berlin district of Tempelhof-Schöneberg gives an overview of all cinemas that have existed or are still in existence in the Berlin district of Tempelhof-Schöneberg . In the list, the districts have been taken into account according to the district boundaries since the 2001 reform and sorted alphabetically: Friedenau , Lichtenrade , Mariendorf , Marienfelde , Schöneberg , Tempelhof . 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 history of the cinemas in the district reflects the development of the population. Schöneberg with Friedenau belonged more to the inner city, while the districts in the Tempelhof administrative district, formed in 1920, were settled from Kreuzberg to the south. Not to forget that the city of Schöneberg was only a suburb until 1920 . There are 67 cinemas in the former Schöneberg district and 25 in the former Tempelhof district . In the 1960s, closed cinemas were often redesigned into shops and in some supermarkets (such as the " LPG " or the " Denn’s "), details of the former "glory of light games" can be discovered with a look at the ceiling. After the war years, some buildings specially designed as cinema structures were built.

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. Of the 93 cinemas ever existing in the district, 62 were founded before 1945. Of these 62, 11 cinemas closed by 1920 and 12 more by 1930. Of 20 movie theaters that survived the war and those 21 that opened since the 1940s , 60% closed in the 1960s. In 1916 there were eleven “Lichtspiele” in Friedenau, four of which were in the immediate vicinity of Rheinstraße and there are still (as of 2016) the Cinema on Walther-Schreiber-Platz , which opened in 1912, and the Cosima from 1935 in Friedenau the cinema location of the (formerly) suburb area between Haupt- and Martin-Luther-Straße, in what was then the inner city the larger movie theaters were built on Bülow and Potsdamer Straße. There are still six movie theaters in the entire district. There has always been competition and financial difficulties for cinemas.

The district's history includes the film productions in the UFA halls in the south of Tempelhof, the area of AFIFA , which was incorporated into UFA in 1925.

The films offered from the early days were often brand new, thematically sometimes sensational, not always suitable for young people and, from the point of view of some virtuous citizens, vicious . In 1907 the attempt was made against these films by the “Cinematographic Reform Party” to create a vice-free zone with the Friedenau “ Kronen-Lichtspiele ” as a “reform cinematographic theater ”: where “[not…] the sensual tickle of lonely circles offered satisfaction and our youth is seduced [...] where the vice is not at home. "()

The cinemas in the southern parts of the district could also have given “East visitors” the opportunity to see “West films”. However , they did not have the status of subsidized border cinemas from 1953 onwards ; those recognized border cinemas were located in Kreuzberg and Neukölln closer to the eastern city districts . The cinemas in Marienfelde and Lichtenrade, on the other hand, received additional visitors from beyond the city limits of Brandenburg. In any case, additional financial income ended in 1961 with the construction of the wall , which exacerbated the profitability problems of the cinema crisis .

The baby movie theater with its 156 seats was opened in 1952. The cinema was located on the ground floor of the four-story corner house at Stubenrauchstrasse / Wilhelmshöher Strasse. In the north of Schillerplatz, buildings were destroyed in the air raids in 1943 and the cinema rooms were set up during the reconstruction in 1952. After the cinema was closed, the mixed-use building with apartments was used as a café, later renovated and refurbished. Today there is the “Meerchenhaft” children's café on the ground floor.

In the cinema of Jensen & Weise oHG there were 16 screenings per week, three screenings per day and one youth and one late show. “Ernemann II” projectors, right and left, were available for the demonstration and the sound was transmitted with a sound film amplifier, there was slide projection with sound. There were upholstered cinema seats for the audience. The widescreen technology is mentioned in the cinema directory in 1957 as being in preparation; after all, CinemaScope in single-channel light tone in the format 1: 2.35 (light source: Becklicht) was made possible from 1959. From 1959 Günter Kuphal was the owner of the cinema. The “Baby” in Berlin 41 was also affected by the general decline in visitor numbers and was closed in 1969.

“New cinema theater in Berlin. W. Hulke & Co., Alexanderstr. 39/40, opened in November 1909 in Friedenau near Berlin, Rheinstr. 14, a cinematograph theater. ”() The Biophon-Theater-Lichtspiele on the suburban main road (Friedenau in the Teltow district, 28,000 inhabitants) had 300 seats and there were daily silent films with a biographer . “… The oldest cinematograph theater that was 'well ventilated' after renovation work in 1914, the“ Biophon ”in Rheinstrasse 14, played an important role at that time, including the constantly changing Sunday children's programs. Whether little Lilian Pape, who allegedly lived with her mother at the time in Fregestraße, later famous when Lilian Harvey was a guest there, is not clearly recorded in the chronicles. ”From 1918 onwards, the cinema name BTL was used for Biophon-Theater-Lichtspiele, which mag are based on a brand decision . From 1924 Arnold Isenheim, Mrs. Minna Hulke and Hermann Brand are the owners who run the business, Hermann Brandt and Arnold Isenheim. The program change for the daily performances takes place on Friday and Tuesday. In 1927 the National-Film-Theater GmbH took over the ownership from Friedrichstrasse. Whereby W. Hulke & Co. will probably remain involved. In the cinema address book, 1905 is even mentioned as the year of foundation. The number of seats for spectators is given as 299. From 1930 Isenheim & Brandt became the owner of the cinema. Finally, the demonstration of sound films with cinema technology was from 1931 Klangfilm possible. However, in 1932 the cinema location was given up and the rooms were used for shops. The site was probably in the war badly damaged in air raids, rebuilt but extended to 1953rd On the ground floor of the changed house - in particular the rear part of the building was closed - there is currently a supermarket (2008: Kaisers branch, as of 2016: REWE).

In 1910, Kaiserallee was a main line through the Friedenau district (1912: 45,000 inhabitants). In the Kaiserallee 111 1912 a new building was built and it opened a Kinematographentheater with 200 seats. In 1920 and 1921 the cinema address book at Kaiserallee 111 names the “Colibri-Lichtspiele”. The owners of the cinema with daily screenings and 200 seats are Horst von Platen from Wilmersdorf & Erich Kattwinkel. There are no entries for 1918 and 1924. In the beginning there were boxes to the side in the cinema despite the cramped space. These are removed in 1941 in favor of the toilets and the foyer.

From 1925 onwards, the name “Kolibri”, which was now owned by the National-Film-Theater GmbH (based in Friedrichstrasse), was called Friedenauer Lichtspiele at Kaiserallee 111. The 210-seat cinema and daily screening of silent films went to Wilhelmine Brunsfeld in 1927, 1930 to the owners Friedrich and Johanna Hiller, they state 1912 as the year of foundation. There are 196 seats for spectators, a 146 m² stage and one or two performers provide the background music for the silent films. The Hillers and their successor as owner Erich Schulz (probably) decided not to show the sound films that were emerging at the time, but continued to have silent films interpreted acoustically. The reduced number of 188 seats when Paul Schwindke became the cinema owner in 1937 refers to the renovation that was carried out. He is replaced as owner in 1938 by Erwin Hanke. Hanke, at times together with Arthur Bachmann, guides the Friedenauer Lichtspiele through the war .

Games continued during the bombing war, and the building at Kaiserallee 111 and the neighboring buildings across from Fröaufstraße survived the war. Even in the post-war period , Erich Hanke's “Friedenauer Lichtspiele” continued with 185 seats. Only the address changes in 1950 when the Kaiserallee was renamed Bundesallee in line with the zeitgeist . Erich Hanke remains the owner until 1959. In that year the box office is expanded and the small cinema is technically upgraded to be able to show the widescreen format CinemaScope, which was introduced in 1953. This modernization is followed by the new name "Cinema", the curved neon letters on the facade are still glowing. When Lothar Rösner became the owner of the cinema in 1960, he noted “CinemaScope 1: 2.35 is in preparation”, but in 1961 the technology for widescreen films of 1: 1.85 was retained. The cinema has three shows every day. The existing cinema technology consists of an AEG projection apparatus with pure coal light source, for sound reproduction are amplifiers and loudspeakers from sound film and, ultimately, the projection of slides with sound. There are 163 high upholstered cinema seats from Kamphöner and a hearing aid system for the audience.

In 1973 the cinema is bought by Gertrud and Udo Zyber and it is part of the early off-cinema scene from the 1970s to the 1980s. Program specials are offered again and again despite financial restrictions. In 1988 the houses "Cinema" and "Die Kurb" are acquired by the real estate agent Korenzecher. Heinz Riech, at that time chairman of the supervisory board of UFA Theater GmbH, expressed his interest in "Die Kurb". Mr. Korenzecher was only willing to do this if he could also leave the “Cinema” to the UFA, which then took over both cinemas. At the beginning of 1989 the cinema received the new foyer in a three-month renovation phase, the ticket booth and walls were clad with white-painted wood and the southern wall in the foyer was mirrored to make the very small anteroom appear larger. A glass door leads the viewer to the left of the box office through a narrow corridor to the cinema. When the “UFA Theater GmbH” gave up the cinema in 1993, the Cineplex group took over and recorded it as a “One-Dollar-Kino” in 1997: post-actors were shown for a very low price, that is, films immediately before their video start. However, the concept was abandoned and the hall was run as a supplement to the nearby Cineplex-Titania and the Adria in Steglitz . The cinema is operated by "To the movies Filmverleih- und Filmtheaterbetriebs GmbH" from Kleinmachnow with the managing directors Günther Mertins and Peter Sundarp as part of the Cineplex group. The Friedenauer Lichtspiele, such as the → Cinema on Walther-Schreiber-Platz, then as now, have a focus on youth and children's films (youth performances). The hall offers 119 seats in 20 rows with a screen of 5 m × 3 m, the projection is digital with Dolby Digital sound . Under the leadership of the Zyber couple, the hall was painted black from 1973 to 1988 and larger, illuminated black-and-white pictures of Charlie Chaplin loosened up the area. From 1989 to 2015, the light-painted, tube-like hall had the classic plant-adorned wall coverings from 'UFA Theater GmbH', as in the closed UFA Royal Palace and in the UFA Film-Bühne Vienna. In 2015, the Cineplex Group invested in digital projection technology and also renovated the hall. The 2016 admission price for all days and all seats is a uniform 7.00 euros.

Cosima movie theater

Sieglindestraße  10
since 1935 The Cosima-Filmtheater in Sieglindestraße 10 not far from the S-Bahn station Bundesplatz (at that time Wilmersdorf-Friedenau station) was opened in 1935. The entrance is at Varziner Platz on the corner of Brünnhildestrasse 1. The building survived the war without damage and the game was quickly resumed. Since its opening, the “Cosima” has been operated by W. Schönstedt (Polygon-Lichtspiel-Betriebe Schönstedt & Co. KG in Binger Strasse 5) together with the “Bundesplatzkino” in Wilmersdorf. The Cosima is one of the oldest family movie theaters in Berlin. The cinema had 364 seats from the start. “The building that curves around the corner shows that it survived the Second World War relatively unscathed - even the ornate neon sign is still the original from the opening times. [...] While the facade is presented in different shades of gray, the entrance area of ​​the porch supported by a column stands out with its brownish color scheme. A large title display and a showcase with a green frame, also curved around the corner, draws attention to the program. "

"W. Schönstedt's Cosima film theater at Wilmersdorf train station has now been completely renovated by cinema architect Hans Bielenberg. To celebrate the reopening of the now very representative building, the Metro short films 'Bear and Beaver', 'Milky Way' and 'Kinokrakeeler' and (a little late) the New Year's Eve Finck newsreel. ”() As a cinema owner is in the post-war years W. Schönstedt i. Polygon-Lichtspiel-Betriebe Schönstedt & Co. KG with managing director W. Schönstedt in trust management by H. Pätzold. There were three performances a day. The Ernemann II equipment, sound film amplifiers and the slide projector with sound were available for the demonstrations in the Cosima. From 1952 E. Sittner is the managing director. The demonstration machine was replaced by a Bauer B8, and widescreen demonstrations have been possible since 1957. With three performances every day, one matinee and one late performance were offered each week. The image and sound system was CinemaScope with single-channel light sound in the format 1: 2.35, supplemented by sounding N-slide projection. The 364 cinema seats from Kamphöner had high upholstered seats.

The cinema has been run by the same theater management in the family business since the 1960s. The owner name of the Cosima-Filmtheater changed to "Bundesplatz-Studio Kinobetrieb GmbH", 10715 Berlin, Bundesplatz 14. The cinema is equipped with 250 seats and a screen of 35 m². In the foyer there are seating groups made of silver chairs, bar tables and bar stools. The long, slightly sloping hall offers space for 22 staggered rows with turquoise folding armchairs. A corridor to the right of the rows leads to the screen and the access to the toilets. Two changing films, preferably postplayers from the current art house area, are shown daily. It can be demonstrated in "Digital 4K" as well as analog 35 mm . The admission prices are (as of 2016) a uniform 7.00 euros. Photo credits

“Beyond the Kaisereiche , on the other side of Rheinstrasse, about across from the Sparkasse, [the Lichtspiele] could be entered through a simple house entrance (no. 20). From there you went through a long hallway into the cinema, which was at Handjerystraße 64. I think there was also the main entrance, but of course the Rheinstrasse entrance was the more prominent one. "

At the originally planned settlement area is the Handjerystraße on the southeastern edge. In 1912, Schröder opened the “Restaurant Hohenzollern” on plot 64, and the Hohenzollern light plays (“Friedenau's most distinguished and largest movie theater”) in the 600-seat room. Access was from Rheinstrasse 21, the main street in what was then the Berlin suburb. The building on Handjerystraße was an inn, for 1913 the innkeeper Müller is the owner and innkeeper F. Schröder is the operator in the address book, and Wilhelm Schröder the cinematograph owner. In 1918, Mrs. Schröder is named in the cinema address book as the owner of the Hohenzollern-Lichtspiele with 465 seats. There are daily performances with silent films, with an acoustic accompaniment by six musicians. In 1920 the cinema was owned by Richard Tuesday, whose business was run by Curt Hoffmann. When Elfriede Hein owned the Lichtspiele after the inflationary year of 1923, the audience capacity was stated to be 592 in 1924, and from 1925 to 500 seats. In 1929 Feßler-Marcus is the tenant. In the course of 1929, the Friedenauer Lichtspiel-Betriebs-GmbH became the owner, initially with Hans Pawlicki, then in 1932 with Emmy Bartsch as operator and again 600 places were registered. Sound film technology is also being developed under Emmy Bartsch. In 1934 Georg and Rudolf Pollak took over the cinema before (1937 with 562 seats) the "Polygon-Lichtspiel-Betriebe Schönstedt & Co." also took over this cinema (Rheinstraße 21 and Handjerystraße 64).

Due to the bomb damage, the cinema ended in 1943. The cleared ruins of Handjerystraße (64, 63 and opposite 44, 45, 46) have been rebuilt on the street front since 1960, property 64 around 1962 with a new five-story residential building.

Location of the cinema property

The corner house Büsingstrasse 22 / Bornstrasse 6 was on the border from Friedenau to Steglitz and was 200 meters away from the Rheineck. M. Meyer names the address book as the owner of the cinematograph. For the previous year, 1911, there is no cinema owner Max Meyer in the residents' section and no tenant Meyer for Büsingstrasse in the address section. For the following year 1913 there was a change of ownership of the house at Büsingstraße 22, and the tenant Max Meyer is no longer registered. The further whereabouts are not traceable (because of the name). In the Friedenau commercial section, the heading “cinematographic ideas” was previously missing and Max Meyer was missing in the following year. The cinema can only have existed in the course of 1912.

The corner house and other neighboring houses on the east side of the street were destroyed in air raids in 1943. Around 1950 the property was cleared. At the end of the 1970s, an existing 2800 m² playground was built on the property on Bornstrasse 6 + Büsingstrasse 21/22 + Lefévrestrasse 27.

1919 In the Friedenau industrial area, Max Victor is included in Goßlerstrasse 18 under “Cinematographic ideas”. In the address section, Max Victor is listed with a movie theater, but this reference to cinemas is missing both in the previous and in the following year. Before and after 1919, businessman Max Victor (apartment: Friedenau, Goßlerstraße 18 III.) Is only the owner of the company "Bunke & Co. Reklameartikel". From 1919 to 1920 the house owner changed.

The 20 meter wide property is 70 meters deep, there are side wings on the front building and there is a free-standing garden house, the latter already existed with the expansion of Goßlerstrasse. Opposite house 18 was the Queen Luise Oberlyzeum .

The corner house on Südwestkorso 64 / Taunusstraße 18 was built by Franz Helding in 1910-11 and is a listed building. There is a staircase each on Taunusstrasse and on the parade. The semi-detached house is connected to the theater entrance by an intermediate building and in the courtyard by the part of the building with the theater hall. The rooms in the intermediate building and the hall connected to it were mainly used for gastronomy purposes. In 1956 Ernst Schreyer opened the “Korso-Lichtspiele” in the hall in the courtyard building on the south-west parade . The cinema offered 167 viewers on high-upholstered cinema armchairs from Kamphöner Platz. There were three performances every day, plus a late night and a matinee on the weekend. From the time it opened, the cinema technology was available to play widescreen films using the CinemaScope method. A Euro M device (light source: pure coal) was installed for the projection, sound film technology provided sound reproduction and the slide projection was possible with sound. The film formats 1: 1.85 or 2: 2.35 could be used, which were projected onto a cinema screen of 2.6 m × 4.6 m or 2.3 m × 4.9 m. In 1959 the cinema owner changed: Waldemar von Härder. Who had operated the parade under these conditions until 1973. The privately run “Kleine Theater” then moved into the former cinema in November 1973.

The building at Rheinstraße 65 is at a 45 ° point to the neighboring street. The cinema was along Ringstrasse (since 1962: Dickhardtstrasse), while the entrance was at Rheinstrasse 65. “On July 31st [1907] the first German reform cinematograph theater was opened in Friedenau near Berlin, Rheinstrasse 65. Numerous representatives from the press and the teaching staff were present to find out more about the basic principles of the new company. The opening speech given by our employee, Rector Lemke Gollnow, was noteworthy in that it represented the program of a new direction 'The Cinematographic Reform Party', a party that seeks to bring together the press, teachers, manufacturers and entrepreneurs to bring about cinematographic life in To lift Germany and to steer it in the right direction. What this party is striving for can best be seen from the opening speech, which we will follow in the wording: Cinematograph theater - what an abundance of thoughts and ideas does not storm at ans when you hear these words! And it is not always feelings of the most pleasant kind that are triggered in us by these ideas! The cinematograph has recently fallen into disrepute; One thinks of a place where the sensual tickle of lonely circles is offered satisfaction one thinks of a place where one wants to excite our overstimulated nerves, where our youth is seduced - in short, a place where vice is at home! In this series of presentations the cry: Reform! ”() Obviously, this concept for the screening of“ clean ”silent films was not upheld because a new opening was already mentioned two years later:“ In Friedenau, Rheinstr. 65, a world cinema theater was opened by Hermann Siepert, Fritz Wagner & Co. ”() After a few changes of ownership of the cinematograph, August Röder opened the hall cinema with 460 seats under the name“ Kronen-Lichtspiele ”. The ownership of the cinema remained in the hands of the Röder family until it closed in 1969.

In the Berlin address book, the apartment buildings Rheinstrasse 64 and 65 and Ringstrasse 1 (initially as 1–3) are related to each other. From 1905 to 1913 the innkeeper Hermann Siepert was registered in house 65, who provided (at least) the hall for the reform cinema. In 1909 Siepert himself became a partner in the cinematograph with the Welt-Theater and also temporarily administrators of house 65. Siepert and Wagner were replaced by Eugen Jacobi with the "Friedenauer Lichtbildbühne" in Rheinstrasse in 1911 after the address book entry. For the next year, the cinematograph theater in Friedenau will start with performances in Rheinstrasse 64 for Theodor Obersky, who had his apartment at C 25 Landsberger Strasse 64. In 1913, the inn with the cinema was probably taken over by Julius Imm, who is registered with "Kaiser Wilhelm-Garten Julius Imm" in Rheinstrasse 64/65. A use for the cinematographic performances is obvious, but not specifically documented. The house owner Rentier Schultz later lived in Steglitz and in the following years Imm is still registered with his Kaiser Wilhelm Garden and participation in the cinema.

From 1916 August Röder was listed in the cinema directory with the Kronen-Lichtspiele in Rheinstrasse. Initially noted with the addition “am Lauterplatz” (since 1964: Breslauer Platz). The cinema had daily screenings and a program change every week, it has 460 seats (also 450 and 500 seats). The silent films were accompanied by seven musicians. For the year 1927, the "National-Film-Theater GmbH" from Friedrichstrasse is named as owner, before and after August Röder, who gives the year 1916 for the founding of the Kronen-Lichtspiele. The cinema name may have referred to the Immschen Kaiser Wilhelm Garden. In 1931, August Röder built Tonfilmtechnik von Klangfilm into the Kronen-Lichtspiele with 500 seats; the seven musicians are still sold until 1934. In 1937 the number of places was reduced to 478, from 1941 there were 489.

The Rheinstrasse 65 building was spared war damage and cinema operations were only briefly interrupted, and the cinema was active again by 1946 at the latest. Although the owner of the cinema in 1949 was Dr. RF Goldschmidt called, but August Röder again in 1950, the business was run by Käte Handke. From 1953 the daughter Helga Röder is the owner and the managing director became Paul Hommann. There are three performances every day. The cinema technology is performed with a "sounding slide", a projection device from Erko and an amplifier from Klangfilm. In 1957 the cinema was equipped with a Bauer B8A (light source: Xenon) for presentations of CinemaScope 1: 2.35 with single-channel optical sound. The 473 seats are equipped with high-upholstered cinema seats from Kamphöner. In keeping with the trend of the times with decreasing visitor numbers, the Krone-Lichtspiele are discontinued in 1969 and the rooms are converted into a supermarket. The rooms were used as a discounter until 2006, after 2008 the hall was used as a guest room and a restaurant. Next to the house entrance, the cinema entrance with the wall panel above can still be seen. "[...] in the direction of Kaisereiche , diagonally across from the Roxy , right next to the Nicolaische Buchhandlung, was the Kronen-Kino, which today houses a restaurant in its hall on Dickhardtstrasse."

The cinema had 155 seats on an area of ​​almost 100 m². The Berlin address book also occupies director Alexander and the Pfalzburg-Lichtspiele in Kaiserallee 72 for 1913 and 1914. The listed Pfalzburger Lichtspiele were now managed by sub-director O. Endom, who had moved into the house. The cinema ended in 1915, according to the address book, sub-director Endom and director Alexander still live in Kaiserallee 72, but the entry “Pfalzburg-Lichtspiele” is missing in the address and commercial section.

"[Like the Kronen-Kino] on the same side [stood ...] where today Aldi resides the Rheinschloß-Kino , in my memory a red 'plush hell'." At Rheinstrasse 60 in Friedenau was originally the restaurant and hotel Rheinschloß. In 1912, Fritz Borghard opened the “Rheinschloß-Lichtspiele” in the existing hall of the (former) restaurant. In the Berlin address book (suburb of Friedenau 1914, V. Part p. 56), Borghard is named as a trader with cinematographic ideas at Rheinstrasse 60 and has given up the timber warehouse. The restaurant business was probably given up in 1911.

The Rheinschloss-Lichtspiele had 400 seats and screenings of silent films took place daily, with a weekly change in the program; from 1925 there were two changes. There was a stage with the dimensions width 6.5 m, depth 4 m, height 5.5 m. The number of seats was increased, from 1921 there are 464, from 1928 512 seats are designated in the cinema address book. At times four to six musicians are used to create the acoustic features of the silent films. From 1918 on, Felix Borghard had Dr. Ernst Dibbern, whose residence is given as Goslar (Harz) in 1929 and Borghard is the sole owner from 1930. The year of the establishment was indicated by him in the cinema address books of the 1920s as 1910 and in the 1930s as 1911, but according to the listings in the Berlin address book, the Rheinschloss-Lichtspiele began in 1912, with performances in the restaurant hall before 1912 . From 1931, it became possible to show sound films in the light plays with technology from Kinoton. From 1938 Felix and Gertrud Borghard became the cinema owners. The cinema was run through the war years without damage and continued to operate at least from 1946 in the post-war years . HF Herz is listed as the owner for 1950 and Gertrud Borghard has been running the Lichtspiele from 1951. In the 1950s, 488 seats were registered and there were two shows a week and three on Saturday and Sunday, from 1953 three shows a day. An Ernemann VII Bm projector for the AEG's sound amplifier Europa-Klarton was used for the demonstration, and there was also a slide projection.

“Rare film theater anniversary 40 years of Rheinschloß Berlin: There are not many film theaters in Germany that can look back on 40 years of existence. The Rheinschloß-Lichtspiele in Berlin-Friedenau belonged to them. They were opened on March 15, 1912. Until his death in 1947, Felix Borghard, the founder of the house in the Berlin district of Steglitz-Friedenau, which was important for the development of German film, was the director of the 'Rheinschloß'. Now his widow, Mrs. Gertrud Borghard, runs the house, which at the time of its opening was the only cinema far and wide and also one of the first sound film theaters. An Asta Nielsen film was on the program on the opening day, the sound film era was introduced by the Albers film The night belongs to us . The tastefully renovated theater, which has around 500 seats, has created a steady regular audience, which thanks to its loyalty to the tireless work of the now sixty year old Gertrud Borghard. She designs the game plan with skill. DER neue FILM wishes the exemplary film theater director Gertrud Borghard continued successful work for the best of the film and for the delight of its visitors. ”() Another press report read:“ Gertrud Borghard opened the Rheinschloß-Filmtheater in Berlin-Steglitz 45 years ago. After her husband, Felix Borghard, died in 1947, the management of the house passed into the energetic hands of the Berliner by choice, whose motto is still today: 'Good for those who haven't lost the best - in the struggle of life - their humor'. Gertrud Borghard steers the fortunes of her Berlin house with humor. "()

In 1957 new seating with 488 upholstered armchairs from Ufa (Waldheim) was set up, sound film amplifiers are recorded and a slide projection with sound. In addition, according to the evidence, from 1959 Gertrud Borghard set up the CinemaScope single-channel optical sound system for an image format 1: 2.35, for which the Ernemann VII B (light source: Becklicht) and sound film loudspeakers were still used. The Rheinschloß is still owned by the Borghard family through the 1960s when the number of visitors fell until it was closed in 1975. A discount store then moved into the cinema in 1975 . When it moved out in 2014, the former hotel room was extensively restored and an organic market moved in (as of 2016: Denn's).

“The Roxy Palace stood right next to the Friedenau town hall in Hauptstrasse, […] The modern house was built in 1929 as a cinema and office building and is a listed building. The transverse ribbon windows were supposed to symbolize film strips and thus remind of the main function of the house. In 1986, when the former cinema hall had long been used as a disco, a bomb attack frightened visitors and the people of Friedenau. ”In 1929, an office and commercial building was built on the property at Hauptstrasse 78/79, to which the part of the building intended as a movie theater at No. 78 (right part of the building) belonged. The steel frame construction is considered the main work of New Objectivity by the architect Martin Punitzer . The Roxy Palace opened on October 31, 1929 with the Berlin premiere of the silent film Andreas Hofer . The large cinema had 1200 seats and several daily screenings took place. The Roxy Palace operates the "Roxy" Lichtspieltheater GmbH, whose owners were Hermann Rosenfeld and Wilhelm Sensburg. The authorized signatory Richard Auner managed the business on site. With the introduction of the sound film in 1931, the "Roxy-Lichtspiel-Theater GmbH" went to director Hugo Lemke and businessman Ernst Defries. The new technology came from sound film . After 1933, the sponsoring company was initially run by the cinema owner Hugo Lemke on his own, from 1936 August Röder joined the company as a partner. For 1941 the information is "Roxy-Lichtspieltheater Lemke, Roeder & Co." The number of seats is given in the cinema address book from 1934 for 1040 spectators.

The building at Hauptstrasse 78/79 was badly damaged in the air raids . For a short time (1947) the building was used as a department store in the post-war period . It went back to the "Lemke-Krüger Directorate" and the partially destroyed building was restored as a cinema by the architects Paul Stohrer (from Stuttgart) and Bruno Mellendorf (from Berlin) in 1951 . The reopening took place on January 23, 1951. “At the opening, a few rows of chairs were still missing (because they were not delivered from Stuttgart on time) and the smoking boxes behind glass, designed for 40 people who smoke, had not yet been cleared by the building police. [...] The house, technically furnished by Ufa-Handel, Berlin, and working with Bauer B VIII projectors, opened with the film Kissing is not a sin , which was released by Adler-Film-Verleih and was received with approving joy. "() Der Roxy-Palast belonged to "Hugo Lemke, Theater-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH", whose managing director was Karl-Heinz Krüger, from 1959 Rüdiger Beysen. At first 26, then 21 performances were given a week with daily play and there was an opera and theater license for the 12 m × 6 m stage. In addition to the demonstration machine from Bauer, a Euronor II amplifier was available for the sound, and the slide projection could be done with sound. “An orchestra room for 40 musicians has been built into the representative 1000-seat Roxy theater in Berlin-Friedenau, which belongs to the cinema group of the theater owner Hugo Lemke. The good acoustics of the house surprised when the artists' emergency service performed Figaro's wedding for the inauguration . In addition, the box offices were modernized according to the ideas of the theater manager Unger. Clever use of space and streamlined interior design accelerate ticket sales and make the cashiers' work easier. The card cabinets were combined for set cards and role cards. ”() Löffler's seating was 997 high upholstered armchairs. In 1957 the cinema technology was adapted for CinemaScope (Bauer B8 lur) and with light and magnetic sound through sound film amplifiers and loudspeakers in the film format 1: 2.35 and 1: 2.55. There were three performances a day and two to three late / matinee performances per week.

The cinema ended in 1973. There is no entry for 1974. “In December 1975 the former cinema, the Roxy-Palast, in Hauptstrasse 78/79 in Friedenau became a beautifully designed club with cabaret shows, disco and live music. Unfortunately, the time is not yet ripe for this concept. The successor will be a discotheque that is not under a lucky star: La Belle . ”After the bomb attack on April 5, 1986, the original facade design was restored, but the discotheque was discontinued and a carpet shop moved into the cinema, which closed again in 2009 . An organic food market has been located in the entrance area and on the parquet floor of the former cinema hall since June 2011 .

Friedenau
Bundesallee  102
1910-1958
formerly a cinema location, overbuilt by the Schloß-Straßen-Center (2016)

“[The Hohenzollern Lichtspiele followed] next was the Thalia Lichtspiele, the cinema for my youth performances on Sunday. It was located in the midst of numerous small shops such as the Losch soap shop, a milk shop, a small post office, a stationery store ... all of which, lined up like pearls on a string, were on the ground floor of a large block of comfortable apartments that was completely destroyed by bombs . Today the SSC is located here. ”In 1912 the“ Kammerlichtspiele ”opened diagonally across from the“ Rheineck ”restaurant at the meeting point of Kaiserallee 104 (since 1950 Bundesallee) and Rheinstrasse 39a. In 1918 the name was changed to “Rheineck-Lichtspiele”, and in 1925 to “Thalia-Lichtspiele”. From 1950 the Thalia became a day cinema and it was closed in 1958. In 1959 it was demolished for the expansion of the Held department store (later Hertie / Karstadt ). This department store closed in 2003 and demolished in 2005. The “Schloß-Straßen-Center” shopping center was then built.

The property at Kaiserallee 102/103 was still undeveloped building land in 1904. The new houses were built in 1905. In 1909 the cinematographer O. Kalies lived in the house of the reindeer F. Linke. In 1911 there was the “Empire-Theater Lichtkunstspiele” at Kaiserallee 102. The Kammerlichtspiele were run by A (ugust) Mayer. In 1914 Mayer was no longer named for Kaiserallee. The Rheineck-Lichtspiele by Max Meier with 200 seats and daily screenings are entered in the cinema address book, whereby the founding year was set to 1910 by him. In 1925, the cinema passed to Mrs. Morin, who named the remaining name Thalia-Lichtspiele for her company, with the addition of “Rheineck”. In 1928 Irma Kuntz (nee Hausen) became the owner of Lichtspiele, she listed 183 seats in the cinema directory and gives 1914 for the year the venue was founded. She remained the owner of the cinema until 1933. Ms. Anita Kamp took over the cinema in 1932 and was (probably) the one who created the possibilities of sound film reproduction with “mechanical music”. With 177 places left, Ernst Böhmer followed as entrepreneur in 1937 at the latest, Fräulein Gerda Rasp-Ewert was his managing director and from 1939 Gerda Rasp is the owner together with Ernst Böhmer.

House 102 on Kaiserallee survived the air raid in 1942, just like the surrounding buildings, only badly damaged and partially burned out. From 1949 at the latest, film screenings were given again in the Thalia-Lichtspiele. Ernst Böhmer and Gerda Emmerich are registered as cinema owners. From 1950 they ran a daytime cinema with five performances a day. There was the sounding slide projection and an Ernemann VII B for film playback, as well as an amplifier Europa-Junior. From 1952 only Gerda Emmerich is registered as the owner and there were 33 performances per week. In the post-war years , the cinema still offered 174 seats, some of which were subsequently equipped with high-upholstered armchairs. In 1957, as in general in Berlin, the upgrade for CinemaScope films took place. The existing Ernemann VIIB projection apparatus allows single-channel light sound and the widescreen format 1: 2.35 as a sound system. In addition, the number of performances has been changed to 36, with two late performances per week. The cinema in Thalia was stopped in 1958 when the house at Bundesallee 102 had to give way. In the 1950s there were several renovation projects on Walther-Schreiber-Platz and the redesign on the west side of Bundesallee between Levéfre and Bornstrasse. Ultimately, the new construction of the Schloß-Straßen-Center took place in the mid-2000s .

The cinema building on the right (2014)

Zescher Straße (until 1949: Bismarckstraße) is a side street off Bahnhofstraße; House 5 is 360 meters away from the train station . In 1930 there was still a nursery and building land on Bismarckstrasse to Bahnhofstrasse, Bismarckstrasse was continuously counted. On July 15, 1933, Willy Schönke opened the "Bismarck-Lichtspiele" in a purpose-built new building with 294 seats. The cinema had a stage measuring 4 m × 5 m × 1.50 m. In addition to silent films, the use of sound film technology and mechanical music made sound film screenings possible from the beginning of the daily performances . In the mid-1930s, Elsa Krieger became a partner. Bismarckstrasse was changed from consecutive to reciprocal numbering, and the cinema was redirected from Bismarckstrasse 25 to 5. For 1939 Willy Schönke is the owner of the property and the movie theater. The cinema was often closed at short notice from 1943 to 1945 due to repairs to war damage.

The continuation of the Bismarck-Lichtspiele from 1949 can be proven, due to the cultural needs of the post-war period and the relocation of the locations to the peripheral areas at the time, the cinema should (probably) have been open again from 1947. In 1950, "Heinz Steckel & Co." and managing director Richard Starke are listed as owners. It was played twice a day for spectators on 294 seats. There was an Ernemann IV for the projection and an amplifier from Klangfilm for the sound; there was also a slide projection. From 1953 an Ernemann VII B was added to the existing projection equipment. From 1955, or probably from 1954, “Bismarck-Lichtspiele Schönke & Heller oHG” is the owner of the cinema. The existing equipment, including sound film loudspeakers, made it possible to offer wide screen film with an aspect ratio of 1: 1.85 from 1957. Otto & Zimmermann's seating is 311 flat upholstered cinema seats. From 1957 onwards there were 15 performances per week, and from 1958 onwards there were 16 performances. The light source is pure coal and pool light, the slide reproduction was given with sound. With the emerging cinema crisis , the 300-seat cinema on the outskirts of the city was also cut off from visitors to the East by the construction of the wall. In 1962 the Bismarck-Lichtspiele were closed. The existing building became a supermarket. In the 1970s, the cinema property (No. 5) was combined with the property at Zescher Straße 3 and the six-family house there was demolished. As a result, a low-rise building was erected and organically attached to the two-storey former cinema building. The Aldi supermarket is addressed at Zescher Straße 3/5. There is a cleaning company in the previous cinema building.

Edgar Fuhrhop lived in Lichterfelde Augustastraße 13 before 1946 and moved to Bernauer Straße 102 after the war. The Fuhrhop Apparatebau company manufactured microphones and radio technology. The company E. Fuhrhop KG Apparatebau was relocated in the post-war period (before 1949) from Köpenick (Russian sector) to Lichtenrade (American sector) Buckower Straße 7/10 (since 1950: Töpchiner Weg 199) to a newly created commercial site. This explains the address given as the property at Königsteinstrasse 29 for the cinema. The associated building between Taunus-Siedlung and Straße 9 has been preserved (as of 2008), used by the Bezet-Werk company (signaling devices, founded in 2003, seat: Nahmitzer Damm).

Before 1949, possibly as early as 1945/1946, E. Fuhrhop KG built the "Casa Candida-Lichtspiele" in a low-rise building at the north end of Königsteinstrasse (at that time in the depths of the property at Bernauer Strasse 7/10, from 1950 on Töpchiner Weg 199) opened. The cinema had 329 seats and was played with one show every day and two on Sundays (eight shows per week). The director of the cinema was Gerhard Darge. The cinema had a stage of 12 m × 4 m × 4 m for which a theater license existed. The seating consisted of the wooden folding seats that were common at the time. The film was projected with a Victoria VI B apparatus, the amplifier was self-made by E. Fuhrhop KG with 3 × 220 V three-phase current, the loudspeakers were from Klangfilm. The slide projector had sound. In 1952, Gerhard Darge took over the cinema as the owner. In 1953 the film projector was replaced by a Bauer B 6 and the number of shows increased to twelve per week. The upcoming widescreen films could be shown in the format 1: 1.85. Gerhard Darge became the leaseholder of the cinema in 1957 and from 1958 Mrs. Ursula Darge took over as the leaseholder of the cinema. The "Casa Candida" was closed on August 4, 1963 as the last Lichtenrade cinema. The associated building between Taunus-Siedlung and Straße 9 has been preserved (as of 2008) and used by the Bezet-Werk company (signaling devices, founded in 2003, later headquarters: Nahmitzer Damm). The building was addressed as number 2/4 during the expansion of Straße 9.

Hilbertstrasse from Bahnhofstrasse.  The cinema was at the other end of the street

From Wolzigerzeile (until 1935 Richard-Wagner-Straße) Hilbertstraße leads north and Mozartstraße south. The Wald-Restaurant was located in the Hilbertstrasse 19/20 building, Richard-Wagner-Strasse 8 and Lortzingstrasse 2 on Eisenbahnstrasse (this street has been omitted) along the railway line belonged to the 7000 m² property . The cinema was 600 meters south of the train station. In the hall of the Forest restaurants the "Mozart Light Games" were a hall cinema set up with an initial 233 places, later 290 and 500 seats in the hall are given for moviegoers. Johanna Löffler is the owner of the Mozart-Lichtspiele, from 1925 Hans Löffler runs the hall cinema until 1929. In the “Lichtenrader Lichtspiele” silent film screenings were only held on a few days of the week. In 1928 two days per week were entered in the cinema address book with 290 seats, in 1929 one day with 500 seats. Hans Löffler, the operator of the cinema events, named 1920 as the year the cinema was founded. The forest restaurant was run and administered by the innkeeper M. Rohrmann and was probably not used continuously for cinema shows. The owner of the inn is the retired city architect, Friedrich Rohrmann. In 1930, "Juhnke & Lohde Lichtspiele" announced three game days a week for 225 seats and employed two musicians to provide background music for the silent films. Finally, in 1933, the "United Light Games Bohnsdorf" by Walter Holze from Berlin-Bohnsdorf, Wiesenstrasse 33, was the owner. Holze named the year 1932 as the founding of his “Lichtenrader Lichtspiele”. On three days of the week he offered audiences with 200 seats, sound films, for which Kinoton technology was available. The "Waldrestaurant Rohrmann" was used for SA events and from March 1933, after the seizure of power, was also an SA storm bar where opponents of the regime were locked up and mistreated. Friedrich Rohrmann is the property owner until 1936 and the property has been taken over with the tenants by Mrs. Gertrud Leborius since 1939 and managed by the innkeeper Otto Leborius. In the period from 1935 onwards, the organization of film evenings may have subsided. Ultimately, the plays of light in the forest restaurant did not last beyond 1942. The forest management building with the former cinema was cleared in the mid-1950s. The existing houses at Hilbertstrasse 19–19b and 20–20b were built around 1960.

Gustav Schmidt opened the Roma-Lichtspiele in Goltzstraße 37a in 1953 with space for 450 spectators. The building with the cinema was rebuilt on a vacant lot. The cinema building stands from the street at the rear next to the three-story residential building with a row of shops. The entrance to the cinema, with a façade as high as a house, was on the left of the living area. In 1957 the "Gustav Schmidt heirs" became the owners of the Roma-Lichtspiele, then the Schmidt brothers as owners with Wolfgang Schmidt as managing director. The seating for the 450 cinema seats - some with high upholstery - came from the Wegener company. Two performances were played a day and each week there was a night and a youth performance. The film was shown by an Askania AP XII and a Uniphon amplifier. This made it possible to play back widescreen films in 1: 1.85 format from 1957 onwards. The slide projection was done with sound. The technical equipment remained until the Lichtspiele closed in 1963. Between 1962 and 1967, property addresses on Goltzstrasse were changed, so 36a became 37 and the previous 37 became 37a. The former cinema rooms are used by the drugstore. The surrounding buildings opposite the confluence of Bahnhofstrasse on the triangular area (Goltzstrasse / Kirchhainer Damm) in front of the cemetery were added in the 1970s.

The Adler-Lichtspiele were opened in 1952 in the hall of the “Schwarzer Adler” inn on the corner of Mariendorfer Damm 96-98 by Gustav Lehmann, who was already running the Capitol in Dahlem . The inn with a hotel was built before 1900 on the old trade route . The address before 1949 was Chausseestraße 43 between Prinzenstraße and Prühßstraße (until 1927: Bergstraße ). After uncertain source situation in 1918 screenings were held in the restaurant hall already with the change of ownership, as in the early days of cinema as cinema complex was common.

The “Adler” light shows belonged to Elisabeth and Alexander Bartha from 1953 and offered 265 seats for spectators. A license for theatrical performances existed for the stage of the hall measuring 5 m × 5. Film screenings were staged three times a day and with two additional screenings a week. The films were played back with an Ernemann VII A with pure coal light source and an amplifier Klangfilm-Europa-Klarton, slide playback with sound. The conversion to wide screen films took place with their offer from 1957, the format 1: 1.85 was possible. At the same time, the number of weekly performances was increased to 20, including one matinee / youth performance. The 250 spectator seats were equipped with high upholstered folding armchairs by Kamphöner. The Adler was closed in 1962 when the number of visitors fell in general. The hall is located on the property boundary between Mariendorfer Damm 96 and the as yet undeveloped (as of 2016) corner property 98 on Prinzenstrasse (28 not listed). The cinema entrance to the right of the restaurant entrance was closed and included in the facade during renovation. The ground floor rooms of the property are still used as a restaurant (2017: Shisha lounge).

Kurfürstenstrasse  44
1924-1966 The "Diana-Lichtspielhaus" was opened in 1924 by Max Droszkowski in a former dance hall in the back courtyard of Kurfürstenstrasse 44. “At that time the entrance was in the courtyard entrance [to the right of the house entrance]. A corrugated iron hall placed at the transition between the side wing and the hall building served as the entrance area. From here the visitor entered the hall to the right of the screen and orchestra. The uniform seating block continued into the single-storey stage building, on the roof of which the projector room was located. ”() From 1925 to 1927, Ms. A. Mohr and J. Berndt were the owners of the cinema on the Schäferchen property with 174 seats and in 1926 Walter Schoknecht was involved. The film screenings were given daily. For 1928 Alfred Uleer (Managing Director Ballhorn) took over. In the course of the year Ferdinand Krauss finally became the owner of the cinema, now known as the "Alhambra-Lichtspiele". He used two musicians to provide background music for the silent films and 198 seats are specified for the cinema. In 1935/1936 the Alhambra came into the possession of Elise Bartels and Leo Taschenk. In 1941 Gisela Hauschild became Elise Bartels' partner. Elise Bartels continued the cinema business in the 1940s with 200 seats and daily performances. In 1951, Ferdinand Krauss's sisters filed a lawsuit for reparation against Elise Bartels under file number 52 WGA 1501/51 , the outcome of the proceedings is not known. Due to its small size, the Alhambra was also called the Flea Cinema. From 1952 onwards, there are 224 places and two screenings per day and one or two special screenings on the weekend in the cinema address books. The Alhambra light shows were taken over by Erich and Emmi Christ in 1954 from the owners at the time. It was rebuilt and redesigned inside. "The Alhambra-Lichtspiele, Mariendorf, passed into the hands of Messrs. Christ and Tietz on April 1st, 1954." () The owners were the "Erich Christ, Willy Tietz, Filmtheaterbetriebe". With the advent of the CinemaScope image and sound system, light tone, this was made possible by adapting the technology. At this point in time, Ms. Annemarie Preil became the cinema owner for a short time. The cinema was sold at short notice, but was taken back by Erich and Emmi Christ. A Bauer B 5A with a Becklicht light source and sound film amplifier was in the house for projection. Films in the format 1: 2.35 were possible, there was a hearing system for the hard of hearing and sound slides of all formats could be projected. The seating with high upholstered cinema seats from Kamphöner took place at the latest in 1957. From 1959 Ursula Griese was the registered owner of the Alhambra-Lichtspiele.

The cinema no longer exists, it closed in 1966. The "Haus Kurfürstenstrasse 44" was renovated in the 1980s (according to a contemporary witness). At that time the entrance area with a large "double door" was under the right balcony. The entrance has been made smaller. Apart from the shops, there are only apartments in this house. The Alhambra, called the Flea Box, did not end as a supermarket; the Flea Box became a meeting place for Jehovah's Witnesses. The old building structure on the south side of Kurfürstenstrasse between Rathausstrasse and Machonstrasse was changed around 1980 between 1977 and 1983 and the old buildings were renovated and the facades were adapted. In particular across from Monschauer Weg, only the four-storey front building with shops on the ground floor remained at number 44. The entrance to the courtyard can still be recognized by the simple portal of the same type above the house entrance and the shop on the right

Mariendorfer Damm  30
1910-1921 At Chausseestraße 14 (since 1950: Mariendorfer Damm 30) on the corner of Markgrafenstraße there was initially a cinematograph theater from 1910, which was probably not operated permanently. The house on this property was a new building in 1910 by the Kelling & Baniecki construction company from Steglitz, which was based in Lichterfelde the following year. In 1912 the Jewish businessman Hermann Leitner became the house owner of Chausseestrasse 14 / Markgrafenstrasse 16. Max Wolff's "Apollo-Lichtbildtheater" with 200 seats is included in the cinema directory for the years 1918/1919, the cinema name Apollo existed ten times in Berlin's cinema history . In 1920, Willy Leyser was listed in the cinema directory as the owner of the cinema, who in turn entered the founding year 1910. The Berlin address book lists the cinema owner B. Knoblauch as one of the tenants for Chausseestrasse 14. The last change of ownership to Nikolaus Hollnack took place in 1921, when the cinema also ended. There are no further entries in the cinema address book, and in 1922 the Berlin address book was followed by a “facility for laundry GmbH” for Chausseestrasse 14, as well as eight tenants in the house of Kaufmann Leitner, who also lived here. The whereabouts of (cinema owner) B. Knoblauch cannot be traced.

The four-storey old building with shops on the ground floor, which extends into Markgrafenstraße, survived the events of the war unscathed, while the adjoining number 28 was destroyed in the Second World War or was demolished and rebuilt afterwards. The house with shops on the ground floor reflects the state as it was around 1920. On the street front (as of 2019) there is a small fitness studio to the right of the house entrance and to the left of the entrance on the corner of the house along Markgrafenstrasse are the rooms of a restaurant, which most likely housed the cinema. Hermann Leitner was expelled from Berlin after 1933, the house and his personal belongings were stolen from him, and he and his wife were murdered in the Holocaust.

Gaby movie theater

Mariendorf
Mariendorfer Damm  95
1912-1973 In the restaurant of the innkeeper Emma Miedtbrodt (at that time Chausseestrasse 283 ) screenings of silent films are said to have taken place as early as 1912 . Such hall cinemas were widespread venues at the time when the silent film was transformed from a fairground attraction to an authority. The cinema in the restaurant was stopped again. A low-rise building between the two houses existed from 1930 at the latest. The owner of the tenement house with 45 to 50 tenants was the jeweler Berenyi from Budapest in 1925, and from 1935 to at least 1943 it was the retired bank director Bartlewski from W50 Pragerstrasse.

In the post-war years (1949 at the latest) the cinema in the courtyard of the house at Chausseestrasse 283 was operated as the “Gaby Film Theater” by Erwin Griese and Johannes Linke. It was played with two to three performances a day. Chausseestrasse was named Mariendorfer Damm in 1950. At least from 1952, there were three performances a day, and in the following years youth, matineé and late performances were added. The projection apparatus was a Euro M, the sound film amplifiers Eurodyn, the slides with sound. A theater license existed for the stage of 5 m × 6 m 4 m. In 1953 Erwin Griese was the sole owner, from 1957 Ursula Griese was registered as the owner. In 1957 the projection machine Ernemann VIII (light source: Xenon) was purchased, which was the prerequisite for the reproduction of CinemaScope single-channel optical sound in the format 1: 2.35, which was only registered for the Gaby from 1960, and from 1959 there were still 404 places for spectators, the seating was upholstered armchairs. The Gaby-Filmtheater was closed in 1973. The current use of the former cinema rooms is a drugstore , and other businesses are located in the house.

Here the name was derived from the name LI chtpiele DA heim which they had in 1956/1957. On the other hand, the home goes back to the proximity to the settlement of the same name , which was developed as a garden city south of the trotting track since 1919. This cinema was opened by Heinz Thews, who built the Berolina on Bacharacher Straße in 1958 . Then Ursula Griess took over the Lida in 1958 and closed it in 1960. The cinema played with a mobile cinema machine TK35 from Zeiss Ikon and it was probably not planned for a long time. Heinz Thews, as managing director of "Heinz Thews & Co", had furnished the 151-seat cinema with Kamphöner folding wooden chairs. There were two performances a day and two special performances a week. The TK35 was supplemented with amplifiers from Klangfilm and loudspeakers from Körting for the sound. Widescreen films in 1: 1.85 were possible for showing . The slide projection was done with sound. The three-storey residential building, built in the late 1930s, has shops in both wings; the central part with the former cinema is used by a restaurant.

Entrance to adventure cinema 47

The Mariendorfer Lichtspiele were opened in 1927 by the cinema company Juhnke & Lohde GmbH. The installation of the cinema in the existing building at Chausseestrasse 305 (since 1950: Mariendorfer Damm) was carried out by the architect Paul Überholz. The daily performances took place with a seating capacity for 600 spectators. The hall had a stage of 6 m × 6 m. Silent films were accompanied by a band with five musicians. From 1931 David Kinatzer was the managing director, at this time the "Kinoton" technology for playing sound films was purchased and the number of seats was increased to 700. When Lohde left, from 1934 the "Bruno Juhnke Lichtspielbetriebe" in Tempelhof Berliner Straße 97 was represented by cinema owners and on site by Richard Wachlin. Under him, the architects Fritzsche & Löhbach rebuilt the premises in 1935. The stage was changed to 5.5 m × 3 m, but there have been 748 seats since then. The ownership structure changed when Woelke joined the company, the company "Juhnke & Woelke Lichtspiele", registered under the commercial court, had its headquarters in NO18 (Friedrichshain) Landsberger Allee 40. With Juhnke's death in 1940, Antonie Juhnke took over the property and left Mali run the business of Theodor Blaedtke. In 1940, the house was still owned by the widow L. Maaß. In the air raids in early 1943 , the cinema and the building between the neighboring lots that were not hit were destroyed. The pre-war operation of the “Mali Lichtspiele” thus ended.

At the beginning of the 1950s, the Mariendorfer Damm (renamed in 1950) was rebuilt. “The large cinema extension can still be seen from the courtyard side. The cinema can be reached via the courtyard entrance, which in 1928 had an elaborately designed frame with showcases and billboards. ”“ After a construction period of five months, the Mali-Filmtheater, which was destroyed ten years ago, was reopened in Berlin-Mariendorf. The neat house, which was bought according to the most modern aspects under the construction management of the architect Andreas Doll (artistic advice: architect Bruno Meltendorf) offers space for 710 visitors. A curved widescreen screen allows films to be shown using the CinemaScope system. The seating was provided by the Kamphöner company, the theater decoration and curtains by Bernhard Mögelin, the technical equipment comes from UFA-Handel and the Märkische Maschinenfabrik. The owner of the Mali is Mrs. Gabrunas, who also owns the Tivoli-Filmtheater in Berlin-Mariendorf. ”() In 1953 the Mali-Filmtheater was owned by Anne Gabrunas and its manager Werner Hohenstein had 711 seats, there were 23 performances every day Week (sounding slide, apparatus: Askania XII, amplifier Uniphon, stage 13.5 m × 4.2 m × 6 m with theater license). “In Berlin-Mariendorf, film lovers will find a young, ultra-modern house in Mali that can also play the Cinemascope film (stage width 18 m, screen width 12 m). Architect Andreas Doll designed the plans and built the house, with artistic advice from architect Bruno Meltendorf. Kamphöner supplied the 711 dark red high upholstered armchairs. For the first time, the ceiling was made from square plasterboard with recessed grooves. UFA-Handel supplied the technical equipment (two Askania AP 12s). ”() In 1955, screenings on the MMS 4.7 m × 12 m wide screen were introduced in the district cinema. In 1957, the CinemaScope picture and sound system with single-channel optical sound and four-channel magnetic sound as well as SuperScope in the format 1: 2.35 and 1: 2.55 was created. The Kamphöner seating was 711 high upholstered armchairs. In 1960 a hearing aid system was added. The number of performances sank to 16 performances per week until the closure in 1973, plus one night and one youth performance. The ground floor of the hall building is used by a supermarket, on the upper floor there is a swingers club that operates the adventure cinema 47 .

1946–1962 The “Südpalast” with 451 seats was opened in 1946 in an undamaged building that had previously been an inn with a hall. The cinema in the guest hall was on the property at Dorfstrasse 1 (from 1950: Alt-Mariendorf 55) on the south side between Marienfelder Strasse (since 1957: Forddamm) and the transition from Großbeerenstrasse to Rathausstrasse. The cinema was interrupted in 1950, the entry in the cinema address book: “z. Currently out of order ". It was operated (1951) by engineer Hans L. Sichel and was owned by Tofitheg GmbH (from Tonfilmtheater-Gesellschaft). It was played daily with 15 performances a week. The cinema had a stage with a theater license, the size is specified as 6.5 m × 3 m × 4 m (previously slightly larger), an opera license was also available from 1957. There were two projectors Mechau IV and sound technology from AEG (KV 40), as well as the slide projection with sound for the film showing. The number of seats was still 425. In 1956 the ownership situation changed: the owner became "Karl Steinert Lichtspieltheater", managing director Elly Engel. The seating was now flat upholstered folding armchairs from Schröder & Henzelmann. There was a matinee in addition to the two daily performances. Sound film technology was also used. A switch to widescreen films is not mentioned in the cinema address books. In 1960, Kurt Bohnert became the cinema owner and renamed the South Palace the Astrid Theater. Kurt Bohnert lived in Neutempelhof Boelckestraße 14 and from 1957 to 1975 he also ran the "Bambi" in Tiergarten (Perleberger Straße 59). The cinema was closed by him in 1962. In 1975 the building was still standing. In connection with the connection of the B 101 to the B 96 in Mariendorf by a one-way street system (Alt-Mariendorf in the direction of Großbeerenstraße) it was torn down around 1980 because the corner of the building would have protruded into the changed street layout. Since then, there has been a tree-lined green area on the 2300 m² site at Großbeerenstrasse / Alt-Mariendorf / Forddamm.
Victoria light plays

Eisenacher Strasse  21
1957-1976 Eisenacher Straße 21 is opposite the cemetery . The Viktoria Lichtspiele were rebuilt in 1957 in the residential building that already existed on the property; the premises previously housed a restaurant. The name refers to the previous sports field of the " Tor- und Fußballklubs Viktoria ", which was located on the current tennis courts (Westphalstrasse 8/14). The project between a road 283 and the adjacent road 282 was not implemented. The restaurant owner received a severance payment. The light plays were played with two performances every day and one youth and one late performance every week. The cinema address book names Hugo and Charlotte Baier from 1960, and from 1961 only Charlotte Baier. Hugo Baier (from Wilmersdorf) had owned a cinema (Marabu in Kreuzberg) since the late 1930s.

“Away from the big city, Ms. Emmi Christ recently built an intimate 340-seat theater in Berlin-Mariendorf, which was named“ Viktoria-Lichtspiele ”. According to plans by architect P. de Born, a tasteful and modern house was built that meets all the requirements of public advertising. [...] An extremely effectively designed exterior front, which is enlivened by the tasteful display cases from Otto Lubritz, attracts visitors from a great distance. A small, cozy foyer, which also serves as the cash desk, invites the visitor into the auditorium, which draws its special attraction from a tasteful wall covering made of alkor plastic film, which was supplied by Ernst Weissbach. These wall surfaces with plastic film were covered by the Richard Bölligke company, workshop for interior decoration, with finely pleated layers. The stage curtains and picture borders were also supplied by the same company, while in the foyer there is a padded wall area covered with lacquer film behind the confectionery stand. The sales counter and the wall were also made by the same company. The electrical systems from Reiche und Vogel, which equipped the auditorium with indirect cove lighting, were very effective. The dignified, extremely comfortable seating by Schröder & Henzelmann (Herford model), with a V-seat in the parquet, is harmoniously complemented by the striking padded seats (high upholstered seat in the shape of a tub). The chairs, which are 45 cm wide and have a red cord cover, allow the visitor to get to his seat in a particularly comfortable way. Of course, the new house is equipped with the latest machines. In the projection room there are Askania AP XII projectors with optical sound reproduction and a sound film system. [Reinkohle light source, CinemaScope image and sound system, 1: 2.35] All modern processes can be demonstrated on the reflex wall with an electric shutter pull device for all formats. The facility was provided by Ufa-Handel Berlin. While Artur Kramer was responsible for the painting work, the watering and drainage work was done by Paul Sonntag, the floor coverings and linoleum work by Bodo Friedrich. "()

In 1976 the cinema was converted into a judo and karate school by Lothar Nest and used as such until April 1985. The building with the former cinema was sold in 1984, whereby the existing lease was not extended, and then demolished in 1985. Since then, the residential buildings at Eisenacher Strasse 21–21d have been on the property.

Cinematograph theater

Marienfelde
Kiepertplatz  8
1909-1915 "Marienfelde b. Berlin. Otto König opens a cinematograph theater at Kiepertplatz 8. ”() The innkeeper Otto König owned a restaurant at Kiepertplatz 8 at the corner of Bahnstrasse. Marienfelde in the Teltow district with 3786 inhabitants is first listed in the Berlin address book in 1912 . Otto König owned the restaurant until his death in 1918, when Hulda König replaced him as innkeeper and handed over the house and restaurant to Wildgrube. It is not certain when the theater stopped operating .

The Kiepertplatz directly at Marienfelde station connects the confluence of Emilienstrasse, Kiepert and Greulichstrasse (the latter until 1948 Adolphstrasse ) with Bahnstrasse. The building on the corner lot at Kiepertstrasse 8 / Bahnstrasse 9 was destroyed by war damage and cleared by 1950. By 1958 at the latest, it was rebuilt with the three-storey residential building at Bahnstrasse 9, on which there is a restaurant extension facing Kiepertplatz.

Marienfelde
Marienfelder Allee  146
1935-1960 The inn "Zum braunen Ross" (owner Wilhelm Manntz) was originally located on the corner of Berliner Strasse 54 and Dorfstrasse , on a plot of 160 m × 40 m. “There was a great hall and some people still remember that there was once a cinema in there too. The inn was later renamed “Zum Nassen Dreieck”. When Berliner Straße was renamed in 1949, the address became Marienfelder Allee 144/146. The location of the property was redefined by the changed routing of the traffic flow of the B 101 around 1987 via the new road 427 to the new Friedenfelser road. The new street used the previously undeveloped rear part of the property (Marienfelder Allee 142). The front property (Marienfelder Allee 144 and 146) was also built over with five-storey residential buildings.

The "Marien-Lichtspiele" were set up in the hall of the inn opposite the Dorfkrug and opened on November 15, 1935. The cinema was owned by Willy Schönke and Anna Laubsch. Schönke (Tempelhof apartment at Kaiser-Friedrich-Straße 34) was also the owner of the Bismarck-Lichtspiele in Lichtenrade. Played daily with an offer of 299 seats. The number of places was increased to 400 in 1940.

In the post-war years the Marien-Lichtspiele by Wilhelm Schönke (probably) remained closed. "[1951:] The Monopol-Lichtspiele were opened in Marienfelder Allee 144 and have 514 seats. The rankless theater was built by the architect Franz Neumann and equipped with two Bauer B VIII machines. It has an air heating and air conditioning system and the most modern flat upholstered chairs. The cash desk and foyer allow the desired freedom of space. Good sound - good vision. And otherwise: red is the trump card, even in western movie theaters. ”() The owner of the Monopol-Lichtspiele was Else Briesch and there were two performances a day. Schröder & Henzelmann's seating consisted of both wooden and flat-upholstered folding armchairs. There was a theater license for the 10 m² stage, the sound engineering was Uniphon from Klangfilm. From 1957 the picture u. Sound system single-channel optical sound CinemaScope for wide screen 1: 2.35 with the Bauer projectors. A youth and a late night performance were added to the performances. The development of the generally falling audience figures also led to the fact that the cinema was closed in December 1961, even in the monopoly. After the closure, the user was given a "furniture discount". Because of the newly built houses on the B 101, nothing remains of the cinema except the location.

In the back building of the house built in 1911 at Hauptstraße 30–31, the “Society House of the West” was built with the new building. In 1919 the “Alfa-Lichtspiele GmbH” of Paul Lehmann, August Gerlt and Willy Bauch set up a cinema in the large ballroom with a capacity of 1400 seats. The Alfa-Lichtspiele in the Gesellschaftshaus des Westens were specified with almost 1000 seats. In 1921 the house was called “Operetten- u. Film-Theater ”, was played daily, had 903 seats and belonged to the“ Film-Gesellschaft Berlin ”of Grete Ly. In 1924, Karl Rudolf is the owner of the cinema and runs the film u. Bühnenschau GmbH used the name Alhambra for the 1087-seat cinema with stage. However, he then became a leaseholder and still operated 250 spaces before Frau Director Kopf continued the Alhambra with Primus-Film GmbH in 1925. In 1928 the local partners were Ph. And M. Kopf GmbH, whose business was run by Adolf Heide. The Alhambra light games are listed with 927 seats and daily play. In 1929 the cinema was transferred to Schöneberger Lichtspielgesellschaft mbH: Herbert Fischer was the artistic director and Martin Scheerle was the managing director. Six musicians were used for the acoustic background music for the silent film screenings, the stage was 14 m × 6 m. The year 1910 was also given in the cinema address book as the year the Alhambra was founded. This information can stand for films that have been shown since the opening of the Gesellschaftshaus, but the founding year 1909, given below, is unlikely, as the building did not take place until 1910/1911.

Sound film screenings have been possible since 1931: when the "Kinoton" technology was installed for 970 seats. In 1932 Fritz Mischke became the managing director of Tonfilmtheater und Variete-Betriebs-GmbH, the name was specifically named Alhambra-Tonfilmbühne, since then "Klangfilm" was noted as sound film technology. From the mid-1930s, the "Filmhaus Hansa, Mischke, Böhm & Co." became the owner of the cinema, and Arthur Leonhard was in charge of their business. The cinema is then specified with 908 seats, from 1941 on 996 seats. The cinema in the Alhambra ceased in 1943. The rear of the building was badly damaged by the air raids.

In the 1950s there were 30 different venues in Hauptstrasse that were increasingly frequented by members of the Allied Forces, such as the “Kleine Ballhaus Schöneberg”, “International” and the “New York City Bar”. The "Ecstasy Live Club" was in the premises in the 1990s. The Havana disco has been located in the rear building since 1997, with three floors and a large hall. The front building is a tenement house from 1910/1911 and is a listed building.

Welserstraße  25
1912-2000 A cinematograph theater was set up in 1912 in the five-storey corner building at Bayreuther Strasse 16 / Augsburger Strasse 60. In 1957 Augsburger Strasse was renamed Fuggerstrasse and in 1958 Bayreuther was renamed Welserstrasse, the corner building has since been addressed as Welserstrasse 25 / Fuggerstrasse 35. The cinematograph was probably not operated continuously in the 1910s. For 1920/1921, the Bayreuth Lichtspiele with 227 seats for M. Sadigoff from Rosenheimer Strasse 10 as the owner are entered in the cinema address book. There was a corner entrance to the house and the floor space on the first floor along Bayreuther Strasse was 40 m long and 12 m wide. Next to the house entrance go into Augsburger Straße for another 10 m. In the years 1923–1927 the "Bayreuth Lichtspiele" with their central location are assigned to Charlottenburg. The owners of the 252-seat cinema are Alberto Civcra, Angel Fagi from 1924 and Martin Artigas, each with the managing director A. Freyer.

In 1928 Wilhelm Stückrath and Margarete Schibalski were the owners of the Bayreuth Lichtspiele; there are daily screenings for spectators on 276 seats. When Kinoton made it possible to show sound films in 1930, Walter Schibalski is the owner, the light shows have 250/235 seats. Schubalski remained the owner until the post-war years and is included in the cinema address book 1941, where he stated 1910 as the year the Bayreuth Lichtspiele was founded. Walter Schibalski's (owner and managing director) Bayreuth Filmtheater continued to operate with a short interruption in 1945 with 250 seats at Bayreuther Straße 16, and there were three performances a day. The film was played back via Ernemann VII B (light source; pure coal), the sound with sound film amplifiers (Europhon, Uniphon) and slide projector. From 1957 the reproduction of the picture and sound system Cinemascope single-channel optical sound on 1: 2.35 format was achieved with this technology. The seating was the remaining upholstered armchair. In 1961/1962 Maria Magdalena Schibalski became the owner of the Bayreuth film theater, which was now addressed as Welserstraße 25. The cinema continued to operate until the late 1960s and was available for purchase in the summer of 1969. The "Friends of the Deutsche Kinemathek" applied for this venue. This association was founded in 1963 and has so far held its films and events alternately in the Academy of Arts and other cinemas. On January 3, 1970, the "Friends of the Deutsche Kinemathek" moved into their own permanent venue on Welserstrasse. In 1971 the architect Wolfgang Rasper converted it into a cinema with 175 seats.

The cinema was named after the silent film Arsenal and became the prototype for a communal cinema. The program consisted of films that changed daily, were important or demanding films, if possible in their original version. Since July 1971 the “Friends of the Deutsche Kinemathek” have been the founders and organizers of the “International Forum of Young Films” during the Berlinale . In order to tie in with the tradition of the old venue, the neon sign above the entrance and the large-format pictures of silent film classics were taken from the hall to the new location of the Arsenal on Potsdamer Platz. Overall, the old venue was very crowded: there was little legroom and visibility was poor for the films with subtitles. A piano stood next to the screen to accompany a silent film.

When the “Arsenal” moved into the representative rooms on Potsdamer Platz, the new operator continued to use the cinema as a porn cinema for a while. During the renovation of the old building into a residential and commercial building, the cinema was finally redesigned. Since then, there is a restaurant on the ground floor with an entrance on the corner of the house.

1909-1943 In 1909, a cinematograph theater was opened in the previous guest rooms at Potsdamer Straße 89. The initial name was Hubertus Theater. Since 1920 it was run as the Astoria Theater. The house 89 belongs to the Berlin postal district W.57 (59–96a) and organizationally to Schöneberg (24–123b). When Potsdamer Strasse was converted from horseshoe to reciprocal numbering in 1937, the cinema next to the corner building on Alvenslebener Strasse was given house number 145. The 1909 Berlin address book mentions F. Neumann's cinematograph theater in the house. Hedwig Adam is the cinematograph owner for 1910 and Theodor Lehmann is listed a further year later. In 1913 the house owner changed and the cinema owner became Willy Klages. The cinematograph theater had over 200 seats and there were probably daily performances. In addition to the cinema owners, innkeepers and waiters also lived in the house, so the restaurant business was probably maintained, in particular the innkeeper Theodor Kochintke and Ms. A. Kochintke became house owners in 1915 (apartment in Leipziger Strasse 109), while the explicit information about the cinema owner during the war years was missing . On the other hand, the Hubertus Theater at Potsdamer Strasse 89 for Potsdamer Strasse 89 was included in the cinema address book in 1917. For 1918, Johannes Glückstadt is the owner of the cinema with 221 seats in the Hubertus Theater. In 1920 Kurt Wagner became the owner and manager with 160 seats and daily performances in the Astoria Theater, replaced by Wilhelm Gerdsmann and in 1921 the actor Charles Willi Kayser became the owner, whose business was led by Peter Kluge. With daily play and two programs per week, between 170 and 200 seats are specified. Alternately, Peter Kluge has been the owner of the Astoria Cinema from 1924 and Charles Willy Kayser again from 1927.

In 1929 Peter Kluge continued to run the business, now for the new cinema owner Max Attwenger. In 1931 Tartakowsky becomes his tenant for the Astoria-Lichtspiele. In 1932, Ilia Tartakowsky installed the sound film technology from the “Kinoton” system. The cinema still has 180 seats and the year it was founded was given in the cinema directory as 1915. Between 1935 and 1937 Johannes Schomacker became the owner of the cinema, who registered November 1, 1933 as the opening of the Astoria Theater and a seating capacity for 166 spectators. In 1939 Hedwig Schomacker was named as the owner with Gertrud Wilczynski as the managing director. The buildings on Potsdamer / Alvenslebenstrasse, especially number 145, were destroyed in the war. The operation of the Astoria Theater was inevitably ended in 1943. After the area was cleared around 1950, it was rebuilt so that no remains of the cinema building remained. The police union was based there for many years, there is an inn hotel in the building from the 1970s.

“330 people can be accommodated in a new movie theater in Wexstrasse, directly on Innsbrucker Platz, in a convenient traffic location. Its name 'Broadway' suggests the program of this cinema. Limberge & Sohn is the builder and owner. Everything on Broadway is tailored to a sober purpose, no 'luxury' distracts. There are two price categories, one for 90 Pfennig, one for 1.30 DM. ”() The Broadway at Wexstraße 63 existed from 1953. The property was located at the S-Bahn station Innsbrucker Platz and has been linked to the A100 since the 1970s ( underground) and the car park in front of the train station (above ground). House 63 was opposite the confluence with Erfurter Straße and at that time covered the S-Bahn entrance. The cinema was equipped with a Bauer B8 device and a Klangfilm-Eurodyn amplifier, as well as a sounding slide projection, for showing the film. Widescreen films were possible in CinemaScope (single-channel light sound, aspect ratio: 1: 2.35, light source: Xenon) and there was even a 3-D facility . The special cinema stage was 1 m × 13 m. The seating came from Kamphöner. There were three performances a day and two special performances a week. In 1956, the client, "Limberger & Sohn KG", sold the cinema property to "Ruths & Klinge" (Ruths and Georg Ziegan). From 1957 the cinema entrepreneurs Willi Raguse and Mrs. Lisbeth Reichelt became owners and remained so until the cinema had to close. From 1959 onwards, there were still two performances a day, as well as matinee / youth and late night performances. Preparations for the construction of the city motorway and the redesign of Innsbrucker Platz after the FNP in 1965 began in the mid-1960s. The property at Wexstrasse 63 was in the planning area and so the cinema closed in 1966. The ramps of the semi-junction Wexstrasse are integrated into the structure of the A 100 at Innsbrucker Platz.,

1909-1914 “The cinematograph theater does not enjoy a particularly good reputation in the Reich capital and is not undeserved; it has mostly thrown itself into the presentation of inferior, even slippery processes and that still in a framework that is neither technically nor artistically perfect. And yet the cinematograph theater could be a means of popular education that should not be underestimated, and offer pleasant entertainment that satisfies the mind and spirit. The cinematograph theater 'Coelia', which opened yesterday afternoon in Schöneberg (Hauptstrasse 19), is striving to refine the Kientopp. The program, which offers a lot of entertainment as well as a humorous kind of entertainment, was not badly chosen. The projection of the images, which appear completely plastic, deserves special recognition. They understood how to let the theater stage and cinematograph work together very skillfully. In addition to the cinematograph, which also brings color images, the auxetophone, singing and speaking photographs have their say. ”() In the Berlin address book from 1913 and 1914, the Coelia cinema is entered in the commercial section of the Schöneberg suburb. For 1910, Helene Horn is named with a cinematograph theater at 19 Hauptstrasse. For the years 1912 and 1913, the Berlin address book names the “Coelia-Kino” in the Schöneberg commercial area. Helene Horn is missing from the 16 tenants and in the residential area.

When Mrs. Liesel Klix took over the Lichtspiele in 1931, she named three musicians. Hans Georg Hühner ran the business in 1931. With the introduction of Kinoton technology, sound films could be shown from 1932 by the new owner Herbert Palke. In 1935, the cinema entrepreneur Hugo Lemke got involved with the operating group Filmhaus Hansa Mischke Böhme & Co. The number of seats was given as 224. Associated with a renaming to “Diana-Lichtspiele” was the program concept as “Filmhaus”. From 1939 Hans Palapies-Gardler was the managing director of the "Filmhaus Hansa" Mischke, Böhm & Co. and from 1940 onwards Fritz and Hildegard Mischke, who owned other Schöneberger Lichtspiele. The building complex on the northeast corner of Grunewald- to Schwäbische Strasse was badly hit in air raids. For this reason, the Diana-Lichtspiele also ended. The modern new residential building with underground parking at this point was rebuilt on the open space cleared in the 1950s and no longer has any relation to the movie theater.

New building across Hauptstrasse at the former cinema location (2011)

On the property at Hauptstraße 48 next to the church and churchyard there was a garden of 49/50 until 1910, in 1911 it was designated a construction site for the Protestant parish. In 1912 a new residential building stood on this site and a cinematograph theater was opened. In the five-storey building with an attic, there were business premises on the ground floor. 19 tenants in house 48 have already been named for 1913, in particular F. Groß as cinema owner, Schöneberger Lichtspielhaus GmbH and chief engineer Rapaport, who became the cinema owner. In the following year, 1914, Kurt Gelich presented the cinematographic ideas as the owner of the cinema and managing director of the GmbH in tenement house 48 of construction manager A. Pförtner from Adlershof. In 1916 Schöneberger Lichtspielhaus GmbH no longer exists and Gelich is not listed either. The cinema was probably temporarily not operating, especially since the Union Theater Lichtspiele had opened in the neighboring house 49. The costume headquarters of the women’s committee of the Cooperative of German Stage Members was located in house 48. With the end of the previous cinematograph theater, the “Gala-Lichtspiele” were probably continued. The cinema with 400 seats belonged to Ludwig Türk (Berlin N39, Lindower Straße 10), who was already working at the theater in Neukölln. He entered 1915 in the cinema address book as the year the Gala-Lichtspiele was founded. Its capacity is mentioned as from 1924 with 361 places and after the takeover in 1927 by Karl Ehlert from 1928 with 365 places. Karl J. Ehlert worked for the Colonna in the late 1920s and continued the gala up to the Edda. There were daily demonstrations in the gala light shows, and there was also a 15 m² stage. From 1938 Fritz and Hildegard Mischke became the owners of the "Edda-Lichtspiele", which bore this name from 1937.

The buildings on the northwest side of the main street between Dominicusstraße and the church were very badly destroyed in the air raids in World War II. The Edda-Lichtspiele were particularly hard hit and the film screenings ended in 1943. On the site there is an extension of the Paul Gerhardt Church , which was newly built between 1958 and 1962 and which was also destroyed in the World War.

In 1915, businessman Richard Salomon was probably the owner. At the beginning of the 1920s, Maria von Ebeling was named, who obviously operated the Berolina light shows with 180 to 227 seats together with Moritz Göritz.

Since the name “Ortrud Wagner” theater also exists, the silent film screenings were probably linked to artistic performances . In the cinema address book, the later owners give 1915 as the year of foundation. In 1924/1925 Emil Schmitz came into possession under the name "Bülow-Lichtspiele" with 150/222 seats. However, Iserlis & Tartakowski became the owners again in 1925, and Clara Schmitz is also given. The cinema, which was used every day, was called Elite Cinema / Elite Lichtspiele. Maikow & Tartakowsky were listed as owners of the 150-spectator “Elite” until 1934, then only Ilja Tartakowsky. He finally stated 1910 as the year of foundation in the cinema address book. Ultimately, the elite light games were taken over by the Schomackers in 1936 or 1937, who also took possession of the Astoriakino at that time. Initially Johannes and Hedwig Schomacker, Johannes is no longer in the Berlin address book in 1940 and Hedwig Schomacker is the sole cinema owner according to the cinema address book. Incidentally, both state November 1, 1933 as the opening day, on this day the cinema was probably converted with its slightly over 190 seats. An entry on the introduction of sound film technology for this cinema was not included. The building was damaged in the air raids, which means that the end of the 190-seat elite light shows due to the destruction in 1943. Since the district changes in the Reich capital in 1938, the property has belonged to the postal district of Berlin W35. The five-story residential building at Bülowstrasse 16 next to the corner house at Frobenstrasse was restored in the post-war years. The ground floor area was believed to have been changed on this occasion.

The residential and commercial building at Kaiser-Wilhelm-Platz 2 was destroyed in the war . The building at Kaiser-Wilhelm-Platz 3 was damaged. According to plans by the architect Hans Bielenberg , a CinemaScope movie theater with 631 seats was built on the cleared area and in 1953 the “Forum” cinema was opened. The walls and ceiling were gray and white. The CinemaScope wall was nine meters wide and the stage was 13 mx 6 m. The operator Karl Heger already owned the " Odeon ", the Europa-Palast in Neukölln, the Metropol on Nollendorfplatz, the "Filmtheater am Sportpalast" and the "Sylvia-Lichtbühne" in Wilmersdorf and ran the forum until at least 1967. His business was headed by the theater director Gerhard Huebner. There were 23 performances per week with daily play. The image and sound system had an automatic demonstration with an Ernemann X machine and Dominar (Zeiss Ikon C II) preamplifiers with four-channel magnettone and the width ratios 1: 2.35 and 1: 2.55. Demonstration of the sound format in optical sound was possible and the loudspeakers were from Klangfilm Ikovox. From 1959 amplifiers are called. The slide projection was done with sound. The seating with upholstered armchairs came from Schröder & Henzelmann. The number of seats rose to 682. The three performances daily were supplemented by a late performance and a family matinee. Ultimately, the Forum film theater was given up in 1977 and operations ceased. The end is also related to structural problems, for example the Hertie department store ended as a Bilka department store around 1980. The 1980s Kaiser-Wilhelm-Passage shopping center was built on 9000 square meters with an underground car park of over 270 parking spaces.

In 1933, the new owner, Karl Schreyer, introduced sound films for the 180-seat cinema. There was now a mechanical music system and the sound technology from Kinoton. The cinema directory gives L. Hüllemann for 1934, followed by Luise Schreyer, who had still offered 168 places. Ultimately, Lola Kreutzberg became the owner in 1940, who lost the cinema in air raids in 1943. The entire square around Speyerer Strasse between Barbarossastrasse and Bayerischer Platz was completely destroyed in the air raids in 1943. When the ruins were cleared, the sloping road in the southern part of Speyrerstraße to Bayerischer Platz was dismantled on September 1, 1958 and subsequently built over.

Fritz Staar has been in charge of the cinema since 1936. In that year the cinema was rebuilt, with the boxes removed and the auditorium enlarged. The reason for the renovations was probably that the space for the seats was too small before. From 1937 384 seats are registered. Herbert Trettin was the managing director for Staar, and Gerhard Schultz from 1939. During the air raids during the war years , the building was preserved and the Meraner Lichtspiele survived with some damage.

From 1932 onwards the cinema became “Vereinigte Lichtspiele Spandau GmbH” (Arthur Rupp) and in 1934 “Mozartsaal Theaterbetriebs-GmbH” (Auguste Barth), before in 1936 Willy Hein became the owner of the Nollendorf-Palast with 1036 seats. He ran the cinema theater during the Second World War when the theater was badly damaged by air raids , the facade, foyer and the Mozart Hall were largely preserved.

After the war , the Mozart Hall was temporarily used as the “Neue Scala” all-purpose hall with film screenings and less successful variety and revue performances. In 1949 the owners are Wilk & Nerking, and Carl Oskar Liebmann is named trustee for Internationale Variete GmbH. From 1952 it was again exclusively a film theater and gained the well-known name "Metropol". "Opening in 1951: The Metropol-Film-Bühne on Nollendorfplatz (formerly: Neue Scala; very earlier: Mozart Hall) has become a film premiere again after several successful and one unsuccessful theater experiments. Under the direction of Mr. Heger, she started the post-screening of Das Haus in Montevideo and will soon premiere the Fox film Fourteen Hours . During the theater festival weeks , however, plays are to be performed again in this house. ”() In the“ Metropol-Film-Bühne a. Nollendorfplatz ”, the tenant“ Filmtheater im Sportplatz GmbH ”(by Karl Heger) gave three performances a day, the capacity was 1080 (also 998) seats.

It went bankrupt in March 2006 and reopened on June 16, 2007. From March 2010 the house was the exclusive venue with club operations. The "Goya" was closed again in May 2014. At the time of its construction, the building was under criticism because of its inconsistent and pompous facade decoration and has been a listed building since 1997.

1914-1999 At the corner of Hauptstrasse there is a five-storey residential building that is located around Vorbergstrasse. The cinema in Vorbergstrasse 1 is said to have existed since 1914. In the Berlin address books there are references to a director Buchwald, but no information about a cinema. Around 1920 there was the “Intimen Lichtspiele” with 227 to 240 seats and Franz Moritz and Otto Brandenburg as owners, who named 1913 as the year of foundation in the cinema directory. The ownership of the cinema changed to Otto Saxenberger from 1921, he states 1914 as the year of foundation. The cinema address is named Hauptstraße 10, “Entrance Vorbergstraße 1”. Otto Saxenberger is the owner and Curt Saxenberger runs his business. In the cinema, known as “Intimate Lichtspiele” because of its size, there were daily silent film screenings accompanied by a musician with two programs per week. In 1932 the Saxenberger made it possible to show sound films by installing cinema sound . The name of the cinema changed to “Der Filmhof” in 1936 when Herbert and Fritz Reiss (Gebr. Reiss) took over the venue as owners. According to her, the founding year would be 1920.

Fritz Reiss continued to run the Filmhof with 309 seats in the post-war 1940s. “Filmhof in Schöneberg, renovation and conversion. The attraction of the house: an illuminated fountain ”() In 1951 Gerda Lehmann became the owner and managing director. The demonstration took place with a Bauer B6 and sound film amplifiers, slide projection with sound. There were 21 performances per week with daily performance with a capacity for 300 spectators. "H. Werkmeister has been the new owner of the 'Filmhof' theater in Berlin-Schöneberg since February 1, 1956. ”() Under Georg Ziegan, the equipment of the Filmhof light shows was improved by UFA retailers with Kamphöner seating in flat upholstery. At the same time, the screenings on the CinemaScope widescreen system are being improved using the Bauer B6 machine (light source: pure coal) with single-channel optical sound and sound film amplifiers and speakers for film reproduction 1: 2.35.

1971 Gunter Rometsch took over the cinema and made it under the name of "emergency exit" for cinema . Architecturally, hardly anything had changed since 1914. In 1986 he had a figure made by Ernst Lubitsch, which sat in the cinema. The cinema emergency exit 10823 Berlin Vorbergstrasse 1 had 182 seats. When Gunter Rometsch died in 1994, Frieder Rometsch continued to run it for the time being. The operator of the "Moviemento" (Kreuzberg, Kottbuser Damm 22) Ingrid Schwibbe (10967 Berlin, Boppstrasse 11) took over the cinema in 1996 (PRK) 25 m² screen 155 seats with "Ultra-Stereo" sound technology. Other operators tried to continue operating the "emergency exit". It was part of the Berlin off-cinema scene, but the success was probably too closely linked to Gunther Rometsch. In early 1998 it was renamed "Cult Fiction" to attract new audiences. It was an attempt. In August 1998, Hendrik Buchbender announced that it would be reopened as an emergency exit after six weeks of renovation. The last operator gave the cinema back its old name and had a demanding program (for example a Billy Wilder and Sean Connery series). But even he could not save tradition. In April 1999 the cinema closed forever.

The Lubitsch figure was in the foyer of the film museum for a few years and is now in the "Babylon" (center, Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße 30). Gastronomy settled in the rooms. The “Arena Sportsbar” café since the 2000s. A video library (Video World) is located on the ground floor of the residential building facing the main street.

“Some time ago [1950] a neat new movie theater, the“ Sylvia-Filmbühne ”, with 550 seats was opened on a ruined site at Hauptstrasse 116 in Berlin-Schöneberg under the direction of Robert Heger. The theater, which was built without rank, has the most modern technical facilities, flawless acoustics and is equipped with a warm air system and seats for the hard of hearing. ”() From the outside, the simple cinema bungalow with the contrasting reliefs does not look so big, it offers he space for 359 visitors and a view of a surprisingly wide cinema screen. The free-standing low-rise cinema is located a little north of the intersection of Hauptstrasse and Dominicusstrasse opposite the Paul Gerhardt Church in the area of ​​the historic Schöneberg village center. The demonstration machine was an Ernemann B VII, the amplifiers Eurodyn, there was a sounding slide and a theater license for the 6 m × 3.2 m stage. There were 23 performances a week with daily demonstrations. In 1956 Walter Kugland was theater director of the Filmbühne and Friedrich Vorwerk was managing director of Karl Heger. In 1957, the new picture and sound system was set up with the help of UFA trade. With the Ernemann VII B (amplifier Dominar L, light source: Xenon) remaining, it was possible to show CinemaScope films with light and magnetic sound in the aspect ratios 1: 2.35 and 1: 2.55. The seating with high upholstered cinema armchairs came from Schröder & Henzelmann. With daily play, 21 performances and 1 late performance were held every week. There was a hearing aid system. The Sylvia-Filmbühne on its own property remained in the possession of Karl Heger until the 1970s, who was replaced by Peter Reiff. Films in 70 mm format could also be shown. In 1982 it was taken over by the Yorck cinema group in their association, initially with the same name.

In 1985 the name was changed to "Odeon" with recourse to the Schöneberger Odeon-Lichtspiele . It was the first cinema in Berlin to show films in the original English version with subtitles ( Brewster's Millions was the first film). “The cool neon lettering ODEON is his trademark. In the foyer, the ODEON is very American with salty popcorn, brownies and the lovingly tended "Celebrity Wall", on which celebrity birthday children from the film industry are paid homage every month. The cinema is a real pioneer of OV culture . ”In the 1990s, the Odeon is listed with 410 seats. From 2010 (“the cinema is 60 years old”) it became the opening location of the new festival format “Berlinale goes Kiez”. In 2012 the Odeon will also be digitized. There is a hall with 359 seats (in 22 rows) and a screen measuring 4.50 mx 10.10 m. The projection is analog in 35 mm and 70 mm format , as well as digital .

“In front of the cinema, which is set back from the street, there is a barren square with a few showcases. The stairs to the cinema are used as a meeting point by the waiting audience in summer. Vera Drombusch sits as a cardboard figure in the small ticket booth in the anteroom [...] The ticket booth is only actually used when the house is full [...]. Otherwise you buy your ticket in the small foyer, which is as wide as the hall, but still insufficient in terms of space. A few bistro tables and a black leather couch are under the glittering black ceiling and the monthly birthdays of film stars from all over the world are affixed to a pin board with a lot of love and work. In the hall you can enjoy the large screen, which is covered by a red velvet curtain before the performance. The matching red folding armchairs with cup holders and the indirect lighting create a cozy atmosphere. Unfortunately the armchairs [from 2012] are not quite as good as the seating that was taken out of service in 1997. "

On the property of tenement house 37 of the private scholar Schoede on Dennewitzplatz across from the Luther Church, there were the “National Court Festsaal ”, previously known as the “Königshof”. From 1922 the “Nationalhof-Lichtspiele” was located in one of the ballrooms in the courtyard of the property. With 580 seats and a stage, these are owned by Georg Pourroy until 1925. “At that time there was one homo restaurant after another on Bülowstrasse: the Nationalhof, the Continental Club, the Bülow Casino, the Conti Casino, the Dorian Gray, the Hollandais, the Dédé, the Hohenzollerndiele and the Pan-Diele. Some bars had 'elite floors' reserved for one gender ”(). “The Violetta Club was founded in 1926 by Lotte Hahn. Originally intended as a dance club, this association developed into an active lesbian women group in the course of the first year. 400 women were members, women who earned their living as shop assistants, office or bank employees. For the first three years, this club was domiciled in Schöneberg, in the Nationalhof at Bülowstrasse 37 “(). In 1925 Pourroy traded this cinema as OT "Olympia-Theater", Nationalhof-Lichtspiele, film and stage show, W 57, Bülowstr. 37/40. In 1927 the sponsoring company "Olympia Film- und Bühnenschau GmbH" became the managing director of Rosner and Olmes as the owner of the "Olympia-Lichtspiele".

1912-1913 The cinematograph theater in Hauptstrasse 36 probably only existed from 1912 to 1913. In Schöneberg, after a dispute in March 1912, a cinema tax was introduced. This municipal tax for cinematograph theaters in connection with a further tax for merrymaking at fairgrounds and for cycling races was discussed at the suggestion of May 1911. Mr. Marbach is named as the owner of the “Palast-Theater”, who at the time had resisted the levying of a cinema tax in Schöneberg. In the Berlin address book for the suburb of Schöneberg there is the entry: M. Rudolph & Co. for Hauptstraße 36 under the keyword cinematograph theater for tradespeople. The company M. Rudolph & Co. cinematograph theater and film rental business is included in the residential area. Its owners are Max Rudolph and Ms. Anna Marbach. From 1910 Max Rudolph & Co. was located at Bülowstraße 45 with the Bülow Theater . The five-storey residential building with business premises on the ground floor opposite the confluence with Albertstrasse is still there. In contrast to the corner house at Eisenacher Strasse 60/61, it remained without war damage. The development also goes into the depth of the property.

“In a very favorable traffic situation in Berlin-Friedenau, after three months of construction, the Palette was opened [on October 13, 1952], a house by Julius Janowski. The attractive, modern building was built by the well-known cinema architect Bruno Mertendorf, and Max Faßhauer was in charge of the construction. UFA-Handel took care of the technical equipment of the house. The demonstration machines were supplied by Askania, and Behre provided the seating. Around 600 people are admitted. The opening program ran with great success. The beautiful Tölzerin . ”() Dürerplatz is located at the southeast exit of the Friedenau S-Bahn station on the Schöneberg side of the railway line. The property at Dürerplatz 1 and the buildings between Rembrandtstrasse and Bahn were damaged in the air raids "capable of being rebuilt", while the residential building at Rembrandtstrasse 14 was being rebuilt, the cinema building by "Janowski and Co." is being built on Dürerplatz on a changed area, which also houses the " Film-Bühne Wien “on Kurfürstendamm in Charlottenburg . The business was initially run by Mr. Rösler, from 1955/1956 by Krause. The films were shown three times every day of the week, and 587 seats are indicated in semi-upholstered areas. In 1957 the name of the owner was changed to Janowski & Co. oHG, managed by Gerda Schmidt. This year, the CinemaScope image and sound system in single-channel optical sound for films in widescreen formats 1: 2.35 was introduced in the “Palette Filmtheater”. The screenings of films in four-channel magnetic sound and format 1: 2.55 are mentioned in the cinema directory in 1957/1958, but this information no longer exists from 1959. In addition to the 21 normal performances per week, a late night and a matinee / youth performance were added in 1957.

In preparation for the construction of the city ​​motorway (west bypass) to Steglitz - parallel to the S-Bahn line - the neighboring properties on the Schöneberg side were claimed. In addition, financial reasons probably led to the fact that the game was stopped in 1966 and the cinema closed. At the end of the 1970s, the corner plot of Rembrandtstrasse / Dürerplatz was built with a six-story house and a supermarket on the ground floor. The access to the underground car park is via the undeveloped Rembrandtstrasse 13.

In 1910 and 1911 Franz Würffel was theater director and in 1912 the Intime Theater at Bülowstraße 6 was registered. The Berliner Lichtspieltheater GmbH followed in 1913, from 1914 to 1919 A. Kühne was appointed director in Bülowstrasse and the Intimate Theater until 1925. During the war years and in the meantime , the cinema was probably used within the theater.

They led the company through the war years and into the post-war period in the late 1940s. In contrast to the buildings towards Frobenstrasse, the corner of Bülowstrasse and Potsdamer Strasse was retained. In 1948 the cinema had space for 366 spectators. "A tragic incident occurred in September (according to Filmblätter in October) 1948. Despite approval by the building authorities, the ceiling, which was contaminated with rubble, collapsed during a performance and killed 19 people." ()

Architecturally changed and technically modernized, the cinema opened in 1949 under Paul A. Meiß as owner and his wife Anny Meiß as managing director as the “Pamet-Filmtheater”. In the auditorium, the curved wall cladding, which was placed around pillars, accommodated the lighting fixtures and gave the sleek space a dynamic look. The renovation of 1949 was carried out by Paul Schallenberger . The cinema now had 368 seats and was shown three times a week, seven days a week. It has a stage measuring 6 m × 2 m × 4 m. The film equipment was: Ernemann VIIB, amplifier TeKaDe from Klangfilm and a slide projector. A renovation was carried out by Klaus Bieler in 1956. This was followed by the late screening and for wide-screen films in the CinemaScope image and sound system with single-channel optical sound on a screen in proportion to the existing Ernemann VIIB machine, the Dominar M amplifiers and loudspeakers from Zeiss Ikon were added. There was a sounding slide apparatus. The seating by Wegener offered the audience 376 high upholstered armchairs. In 1962, in times of the cinema crisis , the cinema bar, in which films were shown on the side, was set up in the Pamet. In 1964, the cinema ended completely with the “Cinema-Tanzbar”. In addition, the "Liverpool Hoop", with the addition of "youth dance salon" was run. It belonged to Dieter Behlinda, the manager of “Boots”. From 1964 to 1967 it was a nationally known music club, whose concerts were regularly mentioned in OK magazine. After the 1970s, the properties on Bülowstraße were alternately numbered consecutively instead of before: Bülowstraße 24 / Potsdamer Straße 142, 10783 Berlin. The house was redeveloped in 2007/2008 (redevelopment area Schöneberg-Bülowstraße). Shops and restaurants are located on the ground floor of the (now) five-story residential building at Bülowstrasse 24. The two restaurants on the corner on Potsdamer Strasse are located in the former rooms of the cinema and projection room.

The Berlin Sports Palace was opened on November 17, 1910 with an ice rink inside, based on plans by Hermann Dernburg. It was located at Potsdamer Strasse 72. Since then there have been film premieres in the house, for example on February 3, 1912, The Power of Gold by Urban Gold. In 1919 Reinhold Clauß converted it into the Sport-Palast-Lichtspiele.

Sport-Palast-Lichtspiele GmbH was responsible for the daily performances, and in 1919 the cinema tenants were Eduard Fischer and Moritz Ehrlich & Max Kanarienvogel. Moritz Ehrlich and Richard Joseph were the operators in 1920/1921. From 1921, however, the regular film screenings were discontinued in favor of major sporting events in the "Sports Palace". A renovation was carried out by Wilhelm Kratz in 1929, whereby a projector room was installed again for occasional demonstrations. The hall was used for sporting, political and cultural events until 1944.

The sports palace survived the war relatively unscathed, and in January 1944 the building was damaged by bombs . The architects Sobotka and Fehling & Müller operated the expansion of a cinema for the "Filmtheater im Sportpalast GmbH". In 1948 the "Filmtheater im Sportpalast" was opened with 641 seats in the access wing on the 2nd floor in one of the smaller halls. In the cinema there was a theater license for the 6 m × 3 m × 5 m stage, from 1952 only 6 m × 2 m are shown. There were three performances a day, plus a late performance.

In addition to the three daily performances, there was a late night and a family performance. After the death of Karl Heger, Sylvia Heger took over the management.

The great hall was reopened after repairs and later became a concert arena. From 1953, film screenings took place again in the large arena as a film theater in the Sportpalast. From 1959, film screenings took place in the large hall with actually only 2500 seats, but for large screen presentations with up to “9000 folding chairs” for the spectators of the “Spectacle”. They were shown as cinemiracles with three Philips projectors on a 9.0 m × 25.0 m screen. On April 3, 1959, the film Windjammer was shown . In 1960 a screen measuring 9.5 mx 28.0 m was installed. The Sportpalast-Saal was used several times for premieres of Cinerama films until 1963. Georg Kraeft was the managing director for Sportpalast GmbH. Another renovation was carried out in 1963 by Wolfgang Bürgel. In 1966 the theater ended as a cinema. When the operation of the hall was no longer economically viable, the sports palace was demolished in 1973 in favor of a social housing project. When Potsdamer Strasse was converted to reciprocal numbering, the property was given house number 72. In 1977, a ten-story “residential center” with a bridge over Pallasstrasse was built on the demolished area and parallel to Potsdamer Strasse. Based on the former Sports Palace, the Pallasseum is also called the “Social Palace ”.

The cinema in the Tauentzien Palace was destroyed and abandoned during the war. Neighboring in this central location, in 1929 in Nürnberger Strasse in 50/52 in the transverse building (towards the rear) in the two-storey ballroom, the “Femina” (“ Berlin's Ballroom ”) with 2000 seats was opened on the 1st floor. There was a café on the first floor under the ballroom. Badly damaged in the war, the Ulenspiegel cabaret opened on the ground floor in 1946 after repairs , and the ballroom on the first floor was converted into a cinema from 1948: the “Cinema am Tauentzien”. In 1950 Werner Mörschel opened the former cabaret in the five-story office building with 563 seats at the new location near the (old) Tauentzien (palace). 1951 were built by the architect Otto Zbrzezny. Artists' rooms, cloakrooms, smoking foyer, bar and a visitor meeting point were added. The projector room was located behind the transparent, glycerine-embossed canvas using the projection method. The 10 m × 7 m × 4 m stage had a theater license. The cinema had amplifiers from Radio Büttner and an Ernemann VIIB for projection. There were three performances a day. “ Peep box in the Nuremberg funnel . Kurt Tuntsch, director of the Filmbühne Wien on Kurfürstendamm, founder of the world's largest open-air cinema in the Waldbühne and initiator of the leading Berlin cabaret 'Nürnberger Trichter' , has again set up a movie theater in the Trichter's house. From September 1st [1952] onwards, as a kind of 'dream cinema', it is to play older and old films requested by the audience for a week , the 'peep box' will be opened with Double Lottchen . There will be three afternoon performances in this 'peep box', in the evening the cabaret artists have their say. "() Kurt Tuntsch briefly ran the peep box on the ground floor of the ballroom in 1952, a cinema and the cabaret theater" Nürnberger Trichter "in the former Ulenspiegel and was in June 1953 insolvent.

In 1953 the peep box cinema facility was closed due to bankruptcy. This was followed by the renovation by the architects Heinrich, Stasiak and Kynast. The cinema was redesigned as a premiere theater in all rooms. The projector was also in a normal projection position in 1954. The plan solution concealed three pillars of each of the two rows of supports with a saw-blade-like wall line. Three separate boxes were formed. The last row was equipped with the popular love seats , there were rocking chairs that could be tilted backwards. “On August 27th, the Ernst Wolff-Lichtspieltheaterbetriebe in Berlin will open the former Nuremberg funnel under the new name Tauentzien-Palast as a premiere theater. The Tauentzien Palace has been completely redesigned in all rooms. This thorough renovation was necessary because the projector room in the earlier movie theater was behind the screen and the image had to be projected onto the screen through mirrors. The new projector room, which is now, as usual, in front of the screen, was equipped with the most modern equipment. In addition to demonstrations on normal walls, wide-screen demonstrations are also possible. The auditorium has 502 seats (compared to 560 before the renovation). The interior design is particularly attractive and also creates lighting effects in the intimate space. Great emphasis was placed on the design of the facade. Effective neon advertising will draw passers-by to the theater from afar. The Nürnberger Strasse and; the adjacent side streets offer sufficient parking spaces. As reported by the Ernst Wolff-Lichtspieltheaterbetriebe, the Tauentzien-Palast will open with the most controversial film of this year, the fairground of love . The RKO chose this theater for the German premiere because it expects the film to run longer than average. The film distribution company was guaranteed 100,000 DM income from the premiere alone. That is the highest guarantee that has ever been paid for a film in Germany. ”() The opening film was the American film Polonaise . The owner Ernst Wolff named the cinema the Tauentzien Palace, and Günter Weikert ran the business. During the week there were 23 performances, there were theater and opera licenses for the stage and the Ernemann VIIB apparatus (left and right), amplifiers from Siemens Klangfilm, and sounding slide were used for the performance. In 1957 the cinema closed its doors again, and the cinema offer in the address book has "expired". From 1958 to 1973 the house became the venue for the privately financed "Berlin Theater". In 1973 the former ballroom was converted into a canteen for the Berlin tax authorities, which used the front building as an office building. Immediately after the war until the mid-1950s, the office building was used by KaDeWe as an emergency sale. The “Bathtub” jazz club established itself here, and from 1978 to 1993 the “Dschungel” disco was located at number 53 of the long building. Until 1996, the Berlin State Main Treasury was housed in office floors. After they moved out, the building, including the shops, was empty. After a few years of vacancy, the building was converted into a luxury hotel (Ellington), which opened in 2007. The conference rooms now stand on the site of the former ballroom.

In the years 1912/1913, the first independent cinema building in Berlin was built for the "Deutsche Cines-Gesellschaft". The monumental building by the architect Oskar Kaufmann had a windowless facade and thus set an urban accent. A large circular skylight was built into the roof, which could be opened completely so that presentations in the open air were also possible. “Opposite the 'Mozart Hall', a peculiar building has been created, which already from the outside attracts the attention of passers-by with its windowless and yet elegant, original-looking facade. The stained glass, illuminated from the inside, which are the only decoration of the entrance, reveal the importance of the house through their symbolic figures: a cinema theater. […] The theater has 850 seats, the prices of which are between 1 and 3 Marks and which are spread over the stalls, tiers and boxes. The stairs to the tier do not - as is usual in German theaters - lead up outside the auditorium, but to both sides of the parquet and, with their arch-like vaulting into the gallery, form a very peculiar decoration of the house. Everything is strictly modern, simple and elegant. ”()“ Cines is a Roman cinematograph company, after whose name a peculiar, windowless stone construction kit with a sandstone facade, built by Oscar Kaufmann, is named. The construction is undoubtedly effective; but just as undoubtedly it does not fit in with its surroundings. Like its name, the house is something of a mystery. And in this “cinestopp” the opening performance was given on Wednesday: Quo vadis? First a word about the interior of the theater: delightful. Muted, effective light falls down through splendid bronze balls. The whole plain, elegant and simple interior is kept in delicate violet-white; even the numerous 'ushers' like their new purple tailcoats. All in all a very special kind of jewelry box. "()

From 1916 to 1921 the "Union Theater GmbH" was the operator and the cinema name was "Union", also UT-Lichtspiele. When the company was taken over by Ufa in 1921, the name ("UT Nollendorfplatz 4") remained and this became the owner of the property. In 1924 the cinema name was "Ufa-Theater Nollendorfplatz" and in 1926 "Ufa Pavilion" followed with 865 seats, operated within Ufa AG by Ufa-Theater-Betriebs-GmbH. This took place with the performance of Fritz Lang's Metropolis . It was played every day and there was a stage measuring 11 mx 3 m. The sound film establishment with sound film took place in 1931, there were 640 places. Films were premiered in the UFA pavilion: on November 12, 1928, the German-Italian silent film Villa Falconieri , on March 20, 1928, the Winter Olympics documentary The White Stadium, and on October 3, 1937, the animated film Reineke Fuchs , but also the Nazi propaganda strip Victims of the past on April 14, 1937.

In 1962 the Urania moved to its current location in Berlin-Schöneberg An der Urania, the film screenings began on November 10, 1962. There are two halls equipped with cinema technology, so the Urania is the largest art house cinema in Berlin: award-winning films, popular hits and rarities. Until 1999 it was the main venue for the Berlinale Children's Film Festival . 'Arthouse' films from the current and previous seasons are shown continuously. Classics and films in their original versions have almost been discontinued since 2000. The private "Deutsche Kulturgemeinschaft Urania Berlin" is responsible for the mixed cultural program in cinemas and theaters and offers several reading rooms. It was founded in 1888 on Invalidenstrasse. The house at Taubenstrasse 48-49 followed, where Ufa documentaries were shown.

The Humboldt Hall has 866 seats in 24 rows, films are in digital, 35 mm and 70 mm analog (multimedia lectures to films in 70 mm copies) on a screen measuring 6 m × 12 m with sound played in Dolby Digital 5.1 . The side walls are paneled with wood. There is a stage in front of the screen. Indirect side wall lighting and tapering light strips in the ceiling, plus the red armchairs and the dark red curtain look warm. The hall was renovated around the turn of the year 2007/2008, the seating revised, the walls next to the canvas painted dark and a new dark carpet laid. Before the performance begins, there is the cinema gong.

The smaller Kleist-Saal has 284 to 300 seats in 18 rows and offers playback in digital and analog 35 mm technology on a 25 m² screen in sound in Dolby SR . It is used for the children's performances in the afternoon and when the larger Humboldt Hall is occupied. The hall offers an "original 1970s ambience" and was also renovated in 2007/2008. The seat cushions and curtains are blue, the ceiling and walls are still paneled with wood. The technical equipment is weaker than in the Humboldt Hall. Despite the cultural claim, the 'Urania' commercial also takes place before a film.

From 1912 the Viktoria-Luise-Lichtspiele were located at Viktoria-Luise-Platz 5 next to the Lette-Haus, in the building on the corner of Neue Bayreuther Straße 8 (since 1958: Welserstraße 1). From 1912 onwards, the Schendels Lichtspiele were named in the address book instead of a paper shop. With the specified 170 (officially approved) seats, it was probably a shop cinema . The owners of the Luisen-Lichtspiele were subsequently E. Levy in 1913, the Thiem brothers in 1914 and 1915, which was followed by another owner in 1916, in 1917 and 1918 there was no suitable address book entry, the Luisen-Lichtspiele were probably closed. In 1921 Heinrich Peiser bought the corner house. According to the cinema directory, the “Victoria-Luisen-Lichtspiele” by Alfred Jahnke with 170 seats and screenings on weekdays except Wednesday are recorded in the building. For 1924 there are 140 seats with daily performances and two program changes, and one or two musicians also accompanied the film screening. Wilhelm Jahnke was only accepted as the owner in 1924; Albert is missing in the address book for one year. In 1926/1927 the cinema changed hands. Walter Schibalski is included in the Berlin address book, in the cinema address book from Max Mattisson 1927/28 it is still Alfred Jahnke from Berlin S59, Kottbusser Damm 75. The cinema entrepreneur Schibalski was taken over by Mrs. Knepel (Schröder's managing director) and in the course of 1929 by Else Sennewald replaced who lived on the ground floor. In 1931 the company Oebels-Oebstroem Film GmbH from SW 68 Friedrichstraße 7 followed by Henry Oebels-Oebstroem and H. Rodenbusch as owners, who offered 156 places. 1933 was Mr. Wolff and from 1934 Johanna Heckendorf owns the cinema and lived as a private in Berlin-Wilmersdorf, Wexstraße 23. 1935 the new owner Johanna Heckendorf expanded to 158 seats, had films shown daily, there was no sound film facility.

The Viktoria-Luise-Lichtspiele existed until the corner house on Viktoria-Luise-Platz with Neue Bayreuther Straße was destroyed by bomb damage. At the end of the 1970s, a seven-storey residential building was built on the ground floor with restaurants and shops and an attic floor.

At Kleiststrasse 22, Andreas Barton ran the “Cafe von Hindenburg”, whose name was previously Cafe Bristol. The café in the corner building on Bismarckstrasse 37 directly on Wittenbergplatz was called "Café Bristol" before 1915. In 1920 the engineer Alfred Lampl set up the "Bristol-Lichtspiele" here, while the rooms were owned by Cafe v. Hindenburg A. Barton & Comp. stayed. The possible number of spectators initially specified as 180 seats was subsequently increased to 327. In 1923 Lampel named his cinema the "Wittenberg Cinema" with 155 seats. The Cafe von Hindenburg company is abolished, Barton is listed as a businessman. As of 1924, the Lichtspiele had 200 seats. Screenings took place daily, the year of the establishment is given in the cinema directory as 1919. Two to three cinema musicians were employed to accompany silent films. In 1932 Lampel acquired the sound film equipment.

Kleiststrasse 22, like the north side of Wittenbergplatz, belonged to the Charlottenburg administrative district. With the district reform in 1938, the district border from Schöneberg was moved to Kurfürstenstrasse, and since then Wittenbergplatz and the building with the former cinema have belonged to the listed district. The cinema on the ground floor at Kleistraße 22 was given up by Alfred Lampel in 1933, and after an entry in the cinema directory, Alfons Wolff became the new owner of the cinema. However, Wolff closed the Wittenberg cinema by 1935 at the latest. The eastern corner building on Wittenbergplatz was badly damaged in the Second World War. The seven-storey commercial building at Kleistraße 22 / Bayreuther Straße 37, which was restored as a GEMA house in the 1950s, is located on the property.

The cinema entrepreneurs S. Natkin and Hans Betzel opened the “Studio Tageskino” in 1930 on the corner of Tauentzienstrasse 7a and Nürnberger Strasse 60. The concept was obviously a topical cinema in a central location . It was managed by Siegfried Platen. At the beginning of the 1930s, Platen was also the managing director of the Friedrichshainer Welt-Kino, Berlin O 112, Boxhagener Strasse 104. With 270 seats and daily play, the daytime cinema had a sound film facility. From 1933 Eldon Bunar became the managing director and from 1934 Johannes Betzel - the owner of several cinemas in Berlin and Dessau - the sole owner. In the mid-1930s, Bunar was Betzel's managing director at Babylon in Mitte (Berlin C 25, Kaiser-Wilhelm-Strasse 27a → Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse). In 1939 the name was changed to “Wochenschau am Tauentzien”. During the air raids on Berlin, the corner building on Tauentzien was very badly damaged between 1943 and 1945. This affected the cinema and the game operation ended. The six-storey commercial building on the east side of Nürnberger Straße (corner building) is on the border of the Schöneberg district.

Entrance ticket to the Colonna

On October 1, 1909, a cinematograph theater was set up on the ground floor of the newly built five-story residential building at Kolonnen- zur Feurigstrasse. Friedrich Gilles led the “Welt-Biograph-Theater” as theater director and promoted it under the name “Effect Theater” as a “distinguished institute for instructive entertainment”, which should speak for a claim that went beyond the simple cinema . The shop cinema lay like a tube to the left of the stairwell to the side wing of the house. In 1911, "theater owner" F. Schröder took over the venue and was (but only) named as the theater owner the following year. The hairdresser Joseph Sokolowski follows in Kolonnenstrasse 5.6 with a business entry under cinematographic ideas. The new cinema name "Colonna-Lichtspieltheater" came from him. After Sokolowski's death, Hedwig Sokolowski, married. Rohde continues. There were shows every day and the cinema is specified with 200 seats. In 1920 Martha Kippermann was listed as the owner of the Colonna-Lichtspiele, Joachim Günther and Felix Reyher. Karl Ehlert followed as the owner of the cinema (spelling with C and also K). In 1921 he had given up the Viktoria-Lichtspiele at Potsdamer Strasse 108. Carl J. Ehlert remained the cinema owner for the Colonna until after 1930. There were daily screenings, 200 (approved) seats, the capacity was probably increased to 250, and one or two cinema musicians accompanied the silent films with acoustics. Afterwards Emil Jorg and his managing director Heinzlothar Zehmisch became the owner of the Colonna-Lichtspiele in 1931. He gives the year 1906 as the foundation in the cinema directory and names two musicians. In 1932 Herbert and Anna Reiss bought the cinema for 15,000 marks and operated it under the name Colonna until 1974. They also owned other Berlin cinemas. With the support of Willy Mangelsdorf (Schöneberg, Grunewaldstrasse 35 3rd floor), the sound film equipment was installed by Tobis in 1932 . The cinema was shot in the mid-1930s. This actually impractical rotation of the cinema resulted in the narrow screen on Kolonnenstrasse, next to it the ticket booth, and at the back on the right a closed projection room.

In contrast to the neighboring houses, the old building on Kolonnenstrasse survived the air raids from 1943 to 1945 undamaged. “Immediately after the war, the cinema was only closed for a few days due to a power failure. When the Russians came, Russian films that soldiers had brought with them were sometimes shown in rented screenings. Then the Americans came, but they had no use for the cinema. ”As a result, the cinema quickly continued to open after the end of the war by Herbert Reiss. It is specified with 198 places. There were three to four performances a day, i.e. 21 to 28 per week. From 1953 there were 23 weekly performances, including youth and late night performances. Technically, the Colonna light games were equipped with an Ernemann I demonstration and Lorenz amplifiers, as well as the slide installation. With the advent of widescreen films in 1957, the UFA trade increased the technology. A Ernemann II and the Ernemann IV and the slides can be delivered with sound for the CinemaScope image and sound system using the optical sound method in the format 1: 2.35. The seating of the 210 (208) seats by Bahre has partly flat upholstered armchairs. “Up to the 1960s there was a steady increase in visitor numbers. The introduction of television then brought about the real decline in visitor numbers. While the new US films were shown in the Ku'Damm cinemas, the Colonna kept going with films for the whole family. ”() In the 1970s, the foyer was enlarged at the expense of a few rows of seats.

At the end of the 1960s, the Reiss continued cinema activity in the house with the “Friends of the German Kinemathek”. In 1974, Karl Winter (now “Verleih der Freunde der Deutschen Kinemathek”) was able to persuade Reiss to sell their cinema. He ran it until 1978. The "Colonna" became an art house cinema . However, these years were far from being as successful as the cinema changed hands every two to three years. In 1983, with one such change, the cinema was renamed Xenon. The operator changes continued. Continuity only came back in 1990 when "Sputnik Kino GmbH & Co. KG" (Arndt, Habiger, Kruse, Müller and others GbR, Motzstrasse 9) took over the 128-seat cinema. After the Kreuzberg Moviemento, the "Xenon Cinema" claims to be the second oldest cinema in Berlin still in operation and the oldest verifiable cinematographic theater in Schöneberg. When the Sputnik collective split up in 1995, Sputnik shareholders Habiger & Wieske took over the cinema on their own, and gay and lesbian films have been on the program ever since . Andreas Wieske ("Wieske FTB Filmtheaterbetriebe") has been running the xenon alone since 2004. At the end of October 2013 the cinema was digitally equipped with a Christie CP2010 projector and in spring (February 6th to March 21st) 2014 the cinema was closed due to the complete renovation of the entire building block Kolonnenstraße 5/6 to Feurigstraße 4 and was also renovated. The three former windows of the cinema were bricked up and the cinema was rotated again, the viewers come to the cinema next to the screen. The cinema has a room with 140 seats, a screen of 20 m² and sound in Dolby Digital . The glowing red neon lettering "Xenon" (was not re-attached, only the light box for the letters. As before, the program focus is on queer films (as different, including transgender ). The children's program accounts for around a third of the total number of visitors The cinema program (certificates hang in the foyer) has received several awards from the Federal Minister of the Interior . Xenon does not play premieres and original versions of gay and lesbian films anywhere else, which ensures the right audience. The walls in the hall are black Folded fabric covered and five candlesticks illuminate the room. The seats have a blue leatherette cover, wooden armrests and a metal edge in the middle-high neck area. The room only rises slightly from the 13th row, the canvas has a pleasant size ratio to the hall.

The eastern side of Bacharacher Straße between property 13 and Rohrbeckstraße was still undeveloped around 1950. Thews had previously been running the Lida in Tauernallee since 1956 . At that time, the wide Rohrbeckstrasse was narrowed by the adjacent green area from 35 to 13 meters, the house boundary was based on the building line of 1912. The cinema had 456 seats on 600 m², the seating of which came from Schröder & Henzelmann. With the Ernemann VIIB machine (light source: Becklicht), AEG amplifier and sound film loudspeakers, it was possible to reproduce the CinemaScope image and sound system in optical sound on 1: 2.35 format. With daily play, 17 (also matinee / late) performances were given each week. The co-owner was also the wife Helene Thews. After the cinema died out in the 1960s, the “Berolina” also closed in 1963 and was leased to Möbel-Hübner. After that, Bolle was there for 20 years and finally a Reichelt grocery store. The building will continue to be used commercially by a catering fitter.

The cinema was located directly at the former Tempelhof Airport and was built for the American military and their families. “The Air Force built the cinema in 1951 for 'All US personal and their guests'. The premiere film on October 13, 1951 was the Warner Brothers Technicolor production ' Captain Horatio Hornblower ' with Gregory Peck. Shortly afterwards, the big sister of the Columbia cinema, the OUTPOST on Zehlendorfer Clayallee, also opened. Architecturally, both solitary buildings are based on classical modernism . In view of the dwindling strength of the Allied troops in Berlin after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Columbia cinema was closed and handed over to the German side even before the military's final withdrawal in 1994. Where the GIs consoled their 'homesick blues' with the latest Hollywood films and their local girlfriends in the 1950s, Berlin clubbers and friends of good music have had a lot of fun since November 1998. Here the gates of the old cinema at Tempelhof Airport opened again and Berlin had a new club: the Columbiaclub "()

The building at Columbiadamm 9-11 was used as an event hall for rock concerts after the end of the cinema and is a listed building.

The Park-Restaurant Kreideweiß was located on the southeast corner between Tempelhof's village street and the main road to Dresden . On the property (since 1949: Alt-Tempelhof 17/19 and Tempelhofer Damm 145/146) of the abandoned inn with garden, Carl and Emil Schneider built the five-storey residential and commercial building "Zum Kurfürst" with a restaurant and ballrooms in 1911–1912. By 1919, the buildings on the corner of Dorfstrasse Berliner Strasse 104 / 104a owned by the construction company C. and E. Schneider E. were renumbered as 147 and 148 (Hotel zum Kurfürst). The house was rebuilt in 1919 (after " World War II ) and the coup ". In 1919 the "Kurfürst-Lichtspiele" opened in a converted hall, supported by the "Victoria-Lichtbild-Theater GmbH by E. Ellermann & M. Förster". With 900 seats an early large cinema were given daily silent film screenings. The space available in the cinema address book was changed several times and was between 900 and 680 seats. Program changes take place on Friday and Tuesday. Emil Ellermann and Max Förster remained the owners of the "Kurfürst-Lichtspiele" until 1931.

With the switch to sound films in 1931, there was also a change of ownership. The Kurfürst-Lichtspiele were taken over by the Berlin cinema owner Bruno Lohde in a share with Max Lohde, the owner company was Juhnke & Lohde. The sound film technology came from Kinoton. The cinema had a stage of 8 m × 6 m and offered 1200 seats. From 1934 the "Juhnke Lichtspieltheater GmbH" is the owner and the film theater was run by Bruno Juhnke and from 1936 by Ernst Hilliger. From then on, the stage is 7.5 mx 5 m and the number of seats is 1157. Engelbert Rech became the managing director in 1939 and when Bruno's death in 1940 Antonie Juhnke ran the cinema with Richard Wachlin, managing director. “The hall wing is in the courtyard area. Three large entrances lead from the courtyard into the ballroom, which is equipped with galleries and a stage. In the basement there was a beer cellar, two bowling alleys and a bathing establishment with various steam bath and massage rooms. The public bath is still in operation today. The 'Zum Kurfürst' restaurant was located in the northern wing of the building and included two other halls. "

The owner Antonie Juhnke continued to run the large-scale cinema in the post-war period , although the halls and probably also the cinema hall with the stage, for which a theater license existed, were also used for other events. The name of the venue was changed to Dorfeck-Kurfürst-Lichtspiele and the owner became Mrs. A. Sternfeld through marriage. The owner of the cinema was Dorfeck-Kurfürst-Lichtspiele GmbH, initially Mr. Sternfeld was in charge of the business. The address was renamed to Alt-Tempelhof 22 and with the mutual numbering of the property to Alt-Tempelhof 17/19. With daily screenings there were 15 screenings a week. The projection was carried out with an Ernemann VIIB apparatus and Philips amplifiers were used for the sound. The cinema offered 1211 seats, and from 1957 1057 seats. From last year onwards, CinemaScope films were also shown, with the existing technology allowing single-channel optical sound and SuperScope formats. “The large cinema in the center of Tempelhof closed in the early 1960s [1964] because the huge auditorium could no longer be filled. Otherwise nothing about the history of the cinema can be found in local sources. ”Initially, a discount department store was housed and in the 1970s the“ Cartoon ”disco was in the house. After several years of vacancy, the current operators moved into the smaller of the two listed halls with the Insomnia erotic nightclub with themed events that also dominate Internet search engines.

The first entry in the address book names Rudolf Bartoll as a cinematograph manufacturer for 1908. In 1909 Bartoll lived on the ground floor in Mariendorf Schwerinstrasse 78, and in 1910 the business with cinematographs was designated in the Mariendorf commercial area.

In 1910 Bartoll opened a cinematograph theater in Tempelhof. Lot 83/84 was still undeveloped in 1909 and he set up his shop cinema on the ground floor of the new building . Bartoll gave up this venue again in 1911. From 1913, Bartoll lived as a merchant in Mariendorf and moved to Schwerinstrasse 72 in 1914 . In the end, no Bartolls were included in the list of residents for 1915.

Any war damage to the house with the short-term cinema was repaired on the Tempelhofer Damm 183/185 building in the 1950s.

The head building Tempelhofer Damm 2 / Kaiserkorso 155 opposite the Luftbrücke square is at the confluence with Manfred-von-Richthofen-Straße. It is a listed building. The house with its round facade was built in 1912–1913 by Bruno Möhring and Hermann Speck, conversions took place in 1919 and 1936. The "Korso-Lichtspiele" were here on Tempelhofer Feld near Kreuzberg in 1918 with the (then) address Kaiserkorso 69 / Berliner Strasse 1 opened. The cinema had 233 seats and was played daily. The first owners of the Korso-Lichtspiele were Martin Gerold and Otto Kittel. Another owner in 1920 was E. Rasenack & Co., a cigar factory from Niederschöneweide. At least from 1925 on Schlesinger & Skultzki GmbH with the managing director Bruno Kagan was the owner and for 1928 the light games went to the "Vereinigte Lichtspiele des Nordens AG" under the leadership of Baron von Brandenstein and for 1929/1930 to I. Bude. The number of seats indicated changes between 235 and 285. The daily silent film shows are supported acoustically by two musicians.

The introduction of sound film with technology by the Kinoton company is entered in the cinema directory in 1932 by the new owner Willi Warnke. The reconstruction of the building in 1936 gave the parade space for 435 spectators. In the 1920s the address changed to Kaiserkorso 155, obviously the addressing was more concise than Berliner Straße 1 from the mid-1930s. Without changing the location again in 1949, when the multiple names in Greater Berlin were eliminated, the new street name: Tempelhofer Damm 2. Warnke led the cinema through the war and post-war years , although the Korso-Lichtspiele in 1949–1952 did not are in the address book. It is likely that Willi Warnke did not reopen until 1953. The existing cinema technology of the 1950s consisted of the Ernemann IV apparatus, sound film amplifiers and sound slide projection. There were three performances a day. By supplementing the existing demonstration system from UFA trade, the CinemaScope image and sound system was achieved in 1957 using optical sound technology and in the 1: 2.35 format. The upholstered armchairs were made by Kamphöner. From 1961 a hearing aid system was available. Given the general decline in visitor numbers, the parade no longer paid off. In 1964, the owners stopped running film screenings. The cinema address book probably still mentions the cinema in 1966. Since then, the areas on the ground floor of the attractively located square have been used by various shops - a supermarket along the Kaiserkorso and retail outlets.

Alt-Tempelhof  59
1957-1965 In 1957, Anne Gabrunas & Andreas Doli opened the movie theater in a free-standing cinema building designed by architects Gustav H. Schmidt, with Gabrunas running the business. The owners stayed until it closed, and Ms. Gabrunas owned other cinemas in the 1950s and early 1960s: Tivoli and Mali in the district and the Charlottenburger MaLi. The TeFi building is on the south side of Berlinickeplatz in Alt-Tempelhof.

The curved Tefi logo was emblazoned on the top left of the building, next to it large-scale poster paintings attracted visitors. “The Tefi had been equipped with wide-screen technology (UFA-Handel) since it opened. For the CinemaScope image and sound system, single-channel optical sound, single-channel magnetic sound and four-channel magnetic sound were possible, as well as the image formats 1: 2.35 and 1: 2.55. This was done with an Askania AP XII demonstration machine and Isophon speakers for the sound. For the audience, 572 seats in the hall were equipped with semi-upholstered cinema chairs from Kamphöner, and there was a hearing aid system. Films were shown daily at 22 screenings and one late screening per week. In 1965 the cinema was closed. The structure of the cinema building is still preserved, the now adjoining school building 53/57 was built in the 1960s.

The hall construction in 2012

The hall building at Friedrich-Karl-Straße 1–3 is a listed building. The Tempelhof Tivoli was an entertainment establishment. The hall, which is set back from the street, was built by master mason C. Müller in 1893–1895 and rebuilt in 1910–1912, with cinematographs being used in 1911. The hall building at Berliner Straße 97 (since 1949: Tempelhofer Damm 226) was converted into a cinematograph theater by architect Otto Krüger. Owned by Meyer-Weinholz & Werbelow, the facility had 800 seats. In 1920 it was completely renovated again, with the seating being rotated by 90 degrees and now running parallel to the street. On April 3, 1920, Werbelow & Meyer opened the program and called the program "Filmsketchbühne", and there were also live performances. In the autumn of 1920, the Tivoli Lichtspiele were the victim of a serious break-in, in which almost all of the technical equipment was lost. In 1921 Werbelow & Gensche at Berliner Straße 97 are the owners of the restored venue with 800 seats. After the renovation by the architect Paul H. Wilke, Werbelow continued to operate independently. From 1924 to 1929 the Tivoli light and show stage was owned by Eilermann & Förster, I. Bett & Co., from 1925 Emil Eilermann and Max Förster. With daily screenings, the program is changed on Tuesday and Friday for a possible 600 to 671 spectators. During a further renovation in 1930, the podium was moved to the northern narrow side and a Zeiss optical sound device was installed. In 1931 the Tivoli-Lichtspiele went to Juhnke & Lohde GmbH, Tivoli Tempelhof Lichtspielbetriebsges. mbH whose business is run by Bruno Juhnke and Max Lohde. With daily play, the cinema has 1,400 specified seats, and six musicians were employed to accompany silent films. The showing of sound films using cinema technology is also indicated from 1931 onwards. The stage was 6 m × 5 m. In the mid-1930s, the "Bruno Juhnke Lichtspielbetriebe Teupitz" became the cinema owner and its managing director was Bruno Mayer. The number of seats was listed as 967 in the cinema directory, the stage with 9 m × 6 m. After all, Antonie Juhnke continues to run the cinema with Bruno Mayer as the owner.

In the post-war years , the Tivoli was run by Carl-Oscar Liebmann. After a renovation in 1949, the Tivoli Movie Theater was reopened with 910 seats. From 1950 Antonie Juhnke is named as the owner, whose business was run by Anne Gabrunas. There was a theater license for the house and variety and other performances were possible on a stage measuring 9 m × 7 m × 7.5 m. The capacity was again given as 965/967 there are two performances on Sundays three every day. For the demonstration the Ernemann III was available for projection and Lorenz Te-ka-De for sound amplification. In 1952 the Bauer B8 apparatus and sound film amplifier were purchased, and there were 16 performances per week. This made CinemaScope possible from 1957. For the sound system a Dominar L was used as an amplifier and Isophon Komb speaker. 8 Effect for use in the sound system with single-channel optical sound and single-channel and four-channel magnetic sound and image formats of 1: 2.35 and 1: 2.55. The seating from Kamphöner is 953 high upholstered folding armchairs in 22 performances during the week and additional late performances. After Antonie Juhnke left the company, Anna Gabrunas, who had been managing director for many years, took over the film theater in 1967, and she also ran other cinemas herself. The projection light source was Becklicht, all slide formats were possible with sound and there was a hearing aid system in the cinema.

In 1968 the cinema was converted into a supermarket with a suspended ceiling. With the hall of the Tivoli restaurant, which was restored in 2002–2003, a typical entertainment venue from the turn of the century has been at least partially preserved. However, the building (as of 2016) houses a fitness studio.

Viktoriastraße  13-18
1949-1992 From 1921 to 1956, the lab of Afifa was on the ground in the Viktoriastraße ( A ktiengesellschaft for fi lm fa brikation), it was incorporated in 1925 to UFA and liquidated its 1956th The copy plant was built at this location because of its proximity to the former Ufa studios on Oberlandstrasse . In 1949 architect Schmidt installed a cinema in the 140-seat hall in the main building of the Ufa copier factory. This "Afifa" cinema facility was only intended and used for internal film screenings. From 1953 the hall is expanded to 270 seats. The rival copier to Ufa was the Mosaik-Film in Lankwitzer Mühlenstrasse. Both copier plants went to their knees in 1974, and a rescue attempt was made by merging to form the "Mosaik-Union", but in 1975 the end came. After the dissolution of the UFA sites, the area belonged to the Deutsche Bundespost. On June 9, 1979, the commune peacefully occupied the sites.

Only after the abandoned Ufa site was converted into the “International Ufa Factory” in 1979, there were public film screenings. In 1981 the former UFA cinema was restored, equipped with new technology and opened as a public cinema in Berlin-Tempelhof. There were legal disputes with part of the former UFA film company over the name of this cinema. So the name of the cinema changed initially: alternatively as “Ufer-Palast”, later as “UFO”. Finally, the name was ordered by a court decision: with dots as "UFA Palast". The first open-air cinema in Berlin was opened in 1982 . Here, among others, Willy Sommerfeld accompanied silent films live on the piano. 1986 opened two small film studios "UFO 2" and "UFO 3" in converted former dubbing studios. The cinema in the previous cinema was stopped in 1989, but the open-air cinema was initially still operated. Converted into a variety salon, the former cinema has been used for events since 1990 and is increasingly being used less often for film screenings. The ufaFabrik became a self-managed culture and life project.

For the UFO open-air cinema of the “UFA Fabrik Berlin eV” in Viktoriastraße 13, in 1993 there were 150 seats in the UFO cinema 1 and 48 seats each for UFO cinema 2 and UFO cinema 3. The figures for 1995 are 450 seats for cinema 1 as well as 180 seats and 99 seats.

1912-1919 At Berliner Strasse 8 at the corner of Ringbahnstrasse, the “Tempelhofer Lichtspiele” from the cinema owner Willy Erxleben were first mentioned. He ran the cinematograph theater in 1912, in the following year there was no information about a cinema at Berliner Straße 8 and the businessman Willy Erxleben lived at Borussiastraße 75 garden house ground floor. In 1914, the address number 8 was renumbered in Berliner Straße to number 48. After the cinematograph was probably not used for the time being, Otto Wolf can be found in 1916 with a cinematograph theater in Berliner Straße 48. He still runs the Union Theater on the corner of Ringbahnstrasse in the following year. After him, Max Getzvnski from Berlin SO entered the cinema address book for the 200-seat Union Theater in 1918. In 1919, Johanna Hintz from Berlin-Treptow, Graetzstraße 13, is the owner of the cinema with 227 seats, but it is already labeled “Currently out of order”. The history of the cinema probably ended in this house in 1919. In 1949 the address was renamed to Tempelhofer Damm 124, where a residential building with shops was located on the ground floor.

When this was laid out as a road, Schöneberg was still a farming village. In 1861 Berlin reached as far as the village of Schöneberg and part of the Schöneberg corridor was incorporated.

On Nollendorf-Platz in Berlin, a house that was specially built as a cinema theater was put into operation these weeks. It is probably the first structure of this kind, the first uniform architectural solution for the term 'movie theater' [...] The cinema entrepreneurs are, as you can hear, not owners of the building site. The building that they had performed must be written off in a certain number of years, because then, like the exhibition halls at the zoo, it falls to the landowner. [...] So they took artificial stone, even had individual fillings modeled by a well-known sculptor poured, put a green painted tin roof on top of the whole and revived the old technique of plastic paper maché ornamentation in the wood-clad auditorium. […] Oskar Kaufmann, is in the process of building their own theaters for the Berlin and Vienna Free Volksbühnen […] The two Americans who do the business here, unlike the people from the marble house on Kurfürstendamm, did not go to any architectural entrepreneur , […] The space requirement is quite modest. You need a cell for the surgeon, a white stage wall on which he projects his shadow images, the auditorium and a ticket hall. If the terrain is cut straight, it would be possible to get by with a simple cube. On the outside there are four smooth walls that are only interrupted by the entrance gates. Windows are unnecessary for the cinema, if you want, only annoying for a company that wants to ward off every ray of light from the outside. Kaufmann [...] divides the side fronts into five fields with a very light pillar profile that barely protrudes from the surface. These fields are framed by an ornamental frame, which, by the way, was modeled by Franz Metzner and cast in artificial stone. ”(Paul Westheim: The first cinema building - made entirely of artificial stone .
