List of cinemas in the Berlin district of Treptow-Köpenick

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of cinemas in the Berlin district of Treptow-Köpenick gives an overview of all cinemas that have ever existed or still exist in the Berlin district of Treptow-Köpenick . In the cinema list, the districts are taken into account according to the boundaries of the district reform 2001: Alt-Treptow , Plänterwald , Baumschulenweg , Johannisthal , Altglienicke , Adlershof , Bohnsdorf , Oberschöneweide , Köpenick , Friedrichshagen , Rahnsdorf , Grünau , Müggelheim , Schmöckwitz . 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 district in the east of the city consisted of independent places at the beginning of the 20th century, which were incorporated into Greater Berlin in 1920. According to (current) districts, there were eight cinemas in the eponymous Treptow and three in Niederschöneweide. The districts of Adlershof, Altglienicke and Bohnsdorf each had two cinemas and Baumschulenweg and Johannisthal each had one.

In the past, before the First World War , there were eleven cinemas in Köpenick, six in Oberschöneweide and three in Friedrichshagen; in Grünau, Rahnsdorf and Müggelheim there was a cinema each. There were no cinemas in the Schmöckwitz and Plänterwald districts.

In 2000, for Koepenick detected: "residents of the area, the largest Berlin district must often 20 km and continue to come to the movies [...] The only Köpenicker cinema is in Oberschöneweide. The new world of cinema with five halls. But the 900 seats there are seldom sold out. ”Of the previous five movie theaters between the S-Bahn and the old town , the forum near the S-Bahn station was unexpectedly closed at the end of 1998. “Nothing will change in the almost cinematic situation in the district. All plans for a new building failed. The district on Bahnhofstrasse wanted a multiplex cinema. [...] All the big names in the industry [...] had long since moved their palaces into the city. "

As of the end of 2016, seven movie theaters were in operation in the district. In Adlershof the Casablanca , in Friedrichshagen since 1912 the Union , and since 1931 the open-air cinema Friedrichshagen in the Kurpark. The Astra has been in existence in the Niederschöneweide district of Treptow since 1929 . Since the 1990s, the Spreehöfe cinema world has been added to the Wilhelminenhofstrasse, and the Insel-Kino on Treptower Abbey Island . And 1999 was opposite the Park Center Treptow at the S-Bahn station Treptow Park a multiplex built. In the late 1990s, an investor in Köpenick wanted to build a large cinema near the train station, but the district did not like a high concentration of visitors, the cinema was to be built near the old town, so there was no new building.

It is part of cinema history that film studios were built in Johannisthal as a result of the Versailles Peace Treaty, which restricted the construction of aircraft. Johannisthaler Filmanstalt GmbH was opened on January 20, 1920 in the former factory halls of the airfield . The engineer Hackenberger had converted some production halls into what was then the "largest film studio in the world". One of the most successful film studios in Germany developed under the management of the engineer Hanns Otto. On May 17, 1946, DEFA took over this Tobis location in Johannisthal alongside Ufa .

In the picture to the right of the kiosks was the cinema (status 2012)
The property at Treptower Chaussee 14 at the corner of Elsenstrasse 117 was in 1925 directly in front of the entrance to the Treptow train station . The train station was accessed from the park, the western entrance was behind the cinema building. The cinema name Alhambra was used for representative cinemas in several districts of Berlin and in various other cities. Friedrich Bley opened the "Alhambra-Film- und Bühnenschau, Treptow" with 600–700 seats, in 1928 553 seats are given. The cinema was screened every day, and silent films were accompanied by five cinema musicians. The designation as a film and stage show explains that the film screenings were also supplemented with actors. From 1929 Jacob Reichert became the owner of the "Alhambra" and in 1931 had it technically upgraded for playing sound films . In 1933 Josef Geissel leased the facility and changed the name to "Alhambra-Treptow am Ringbahnhof". In 1934, instead of films, the children's revue Aladin and the magic lamp could be seen here, with twelve people, their own decorations, lights and costumes. From 1936 Otto Buckwitz from Berlin-Hermsdorf took over the cinema. During the air raids in World War II in 1943, the Alhambra was badly hit, making further operation impossible.

The ruins were cleared after the war . Due to the division of the city , part of the historic street was eliminated. The necessary change in the road layout from the southeast through East Berlin was carried out over the Elsenbrücke and the property was partially built over. Since then, there have been sales kiosks and a green area at the S-Bahn entrance on Puschkinallee. No building references remain from the former cinema.

Restaurant 2014

At the western end of the former Dorfstrasse 1 (from 1935 Alt-Müggelheim) was the inn "Alter Krug" from Otto Sprecher in 1943. As in other outskirts of Berlin, a second Müggelheim cinema with 224 seats was set up in the dance hall of this restaurant in the post-war years from around 1947. When the demand in the remote Müggelheim sank with the expansion of the city center, gaming ended in the 1950s. After the “Zum alten Dorfkrug” restaurant was closed, the hall remained unused for years, until a consumer self-service department store was opened in it in 1958 after a corresponding renovation . Since this building belongs to the listed ensemble "Dorfanger Müggelheim", the building was converted after 1990 to make it a listed building. A restaurant was built in place of the former village inn and a business and residential building was built in the shell of the dance hall (as Alt-Müggelheim 1a).

Friedrichshagener Strasse  1a
1913-1955
Street front from 2012

“There was another cinema at Friedrichshagener Straße 1. Its official name was 'Apollo-Theater', but the vernacular called it just 'Zicke'. In its place today there are new residential buildings, the cinema was demolished. ”The new building is on a blunt corner of Friedrichshagener Strasse in Am Generalshof, across from Puchanstrasse. The one-story hall building was in the backyard. A narrow anteroom with a cash register lay parallel to the hall with the first cinema in Dammvorstadt. On the map from 1928 there is a forge in the Damm-Vorstadt on property 1, the courtyard area is bordered by buildings, which also included restaurants and the Apollo Theater. At the mouth of the Mühlenfließ in Die Alte Spree there was a meadow on which the Köpenick residents (probably) grazed their goats, which (as in other Berlin suburbs) led to the nickname. The innkeeper Max Raedler was the owner of the "Neue Lichtspielhaus" (Lichtspielhaus Dammvorstadt). The seating capacity of the cinema is given with 250 spectators. When Georg Werner took over the cinema in 1920 and gave daily screenings, he used the name "Stadtpark-Kino". After the years of inflation , Rosette Klein, b. Zacharias, the owner of the movie theater "Am Stadtpark". The owners changed frequently, although the cinema was probably already at Friedrichshagener Strasse 1a from then on. In 1927 Siegfried Gottfeld ran the cinema as "Filmstern-Lichtspiele", in 1928 Max Wolff became the owner and in 1929 Anna Ebbmeyer from Friedrichshagen. From 1930 Martha Hergstell from Köpenick became the owner and used the name Apollo-Theater for her cinema in the cinema directory. She put an arched lettering above the Einhanh to the courtyard with the lettering "Lichtspieltheater" illuminated by incandescent lamps, a flag with the inscription "Kino" added this on the corner of the front building. It now had 260 seats and was used daily; the founding year was 1913. In 1934 Paul Krüger from Berlin took over the cinema with initially 271 (277) seats, in 1934 300 spectators are said to have found space. After his death, the widow Elli Krüger became the cinema owner.

The building with the cinema remained undamaged and was operated in the war and post-war years until 1955 (probably by Mrs. Krüger). With the destruction in the inner city in 1945, the cultural sites of the outlying districts became more important because of the need for cinemas. The closure in 1955 was probably due to the increasing dilapidation of the cinema rooms. In 1959 only a ruin remained due to a fire.

Apollo Theater Oberschöneweide

Oberschöneweide
Wilhelminenhofstrasse  82c
1908-1920
House 82c in 2017

The house, built in 1906, has two shops on the ground floor and rental apartments on the top three floors (after renovation with an attic). The (shop) rooms (twice m × 12 m) separated by the courtyard entrance should have existed with the move into this function. With the new building, the freight forwarder Paul Schneider was the owner of Wilhelminenhofstrasse 82b and 82c. From 1900 onwards, Wilhelminenhofstrasse was primarily built on the north side with tenement houses and inhabited by workers from the emerging industry. The "Apollo-Lichtspiele" (Apollo Theater) was located at Wilhelminenhofstrasse 82c. The cinema was specified with 165 to 200 seats and Ms. Auguste Schneider was entered as the owner for the shop cinema. The cinema address book names Otto Brandenburg from Berlin-Steglitz for 1920, the Berlin address book lists Ernst Brandenburg on the first floor of 82c. He states 1908 as the year of foundation.

The area was hardly affected during the Second World War , so building 82c has also been preserved. The renovated five-storey house 82c (with an extended attic) is on the southern edge of the street next to the industrial buildings (Deutsche Niles). On the ground floor there are two shops on both sides of the house entrance, which at the time offered the passage to the courtyard. According to the existing situation, the “Apollo” could (probably) be part of the row of buildings (10 m × 25 m) on the right-hand side that delimit the courtyard.

Entrance from the intersection

The property at Sterndamm 69 is on the corner of Königsheideweg. In the 1920s, the cinema address was Parkstrasse 26 and the corner property at Königsheideweg 265/267 was given when the street was renamed in 1934. The cinema with 510 seats had daily games. From around 1924 the first films were shown in the “Bürgergarten” restaurant. The light games in the Bürgergarten are listed with 250 seats and owner Stechert. The "Astra-Filmpalast" (Parkstrasse 26) was opened in 1928 by Johann Hoffmann. The cinema had 510 seats and offered daily film screenings. The stage had a size of 25 m² and four to five cinema musicians were employed. In 1932, Hoffmann, as managing director of "Johannisthaler Lichtspiel GmbH", had a sound film device installed by the Kinoton company. In 1939 he expanded the cinema to 675 seats.

The cinema survived the war slightly damaged, and games continued in Johannisthal with 664 seats. In 1957, the operator of the VEB Berliner Filmtheater had the building converted. The conversion to modern cinema technology Cinemascope took place . So it was restored to the most modern movie theater in the Treptow district and expanded with the address Sterndamm 69, so it was able to survive the cinema crisis. The walls of the slightly rising auditorium with dense, block-like seating were kept light over dark wood paneling. The expansion of the cinema is (probably) related to the new building area. In the GDR, cinema came to the state-run cultural operations of VEB Berliner Filmtheater at the end of the 1950s (1960 at the latest) . And with their restructuring to become the Berlin district film directorate. The privatization took place after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990 through conversion to BFD GmbH. Cinema operations continued unhindered in the Astra 1991 with 372 seats. In 1992 Horst Köhler took over the Astra. In 1993 the "Köhler & Specht GbR" set up a second hall on the upper floor in the former jazz club. Dolby Surround was installed in both halls around 1995. After lengthy negotiations, the family bought the cinema in 1996 and then invested 7 million German marks. A modern competitive design required the demolition of the old cinema building. It was demolished between October 1997 and August 1998. The “Astra Filmpalast” with five halls was created as a multiplex cinema. These are equipped with digital 3D projection and the Dolby Digital 5.1 sound system. The capacity in the hall allows 1 seats for 202 spectators, it is on the ground floor, each cinema chair has hard armrests, a high backrest and its own bottle holder and a large row spacing. Hall 2 is on the first floor and 3 is on the second floor, both with 152 seats. Since they are elongated, the canvas in the back rows is quite small. Room 4 on the first floor is the largest in the cinema with 249 seats. Good seating comfort and generous row spacing. It is the only room with a curtain; the large screen hangs low so that the view of the person in front can be restricted. Cinema 5 is the smallest hall at 107; it rises to the rear and guarantees a clear view of the rounded screen. The three-storey, semicircular building has an almost completely glazed front. When entering the foyer, the visitor is stunned by advertising material: posters, displays and newspaper clippings as far as the eye can see. At the cash desk there are various discounts for students, trainees and pensioners, which are rather unusual for a multiplex. The admission prices for adults from Thursday to Saturday are 8.00 euros for 2D films and 11.00 euros for 3D films. Monday is super savings day, on Tuesday and Wednesday the prices are 6.50 and 9.00 euros.

1945-1960 In 1945, a 194-seat cinema was permitted in the “Sporthaus zur Große Krampe” restaurant on the Große Krampe. Films were shown in this barracks during the war . "On July 25, 1945 was A nton Vo chezer from Soviet commandant in Müggelheim approval for presenting films in the land leased from the landlord Rudolf Troppenz hut in the garden of the restaurant, sports store to the Great Krampe '.

Films were shown in this barrack during the war. ”(Information from the Müggelheimer Heimatverein, March 20, 2017) This barrack was bought by the father and builder of the restaurant, Wilhelm Troppenz, in 1896 from the trade exhibition in Treptower Park, dismantled and transported to Müggelheim and set up in the garden as a dance hall. The fire brigade was on the neighboring property until the mid-1950s. Anton Vochezer from Berlin-Müggelheim (Alsenzerweg 29) was a cinema owner. There was one performance on four days of the week and two on Sundays. The technical equipment was the projection apparatus "Viktoria IV" and amplifier from Klangfilm, in addition there was a slide device. There was a theater license for the 7 m × 3 m × 1 m stage. The cinema was closed by the widow in May 1960.

From 1960 the restaurant was forcibly rented to the HO and the cinema was given up by the widow Vochezer. The WBA (Residential District Committee) of the National Front in cooperation with the Culture Department of the Köpenick City District Council set up and operated the Müggelheim Village Club in the “Old School” of Müggelheim. The Dofklub took over the cinema technology and operated the "Dorf-Lichtspiele" (Dor-Li) from 1960 to 1965 in the rooms of the former AVO Lichtspiele. The seating capacity was around 350 seats. The seating was simple folding cinema seats and there was no rising level for a better view of the screen above the person in front, and there was a large iron stove for heating. In the "DorLi", film screenings were given two days a week. According to the Berliner Zeitung film program , the film screenings began on December 9, 1960 and the program was last announced on December 17, 1965. The inn on the Große Krampe was demolished in the late 1960s. From 1967 onwards, the “Big Krampe fishing club” took over the barracks as a boat hall and club house to this day. Around 1990 a residential complex with a jetty on the Große Krampe was built on the property.

In 1933, the "Bali" was, for Ba hnhofs- Li chtspiele opened by the Johannisthaler cinemas GmbH Bahnhofstrasse 35, the managing director in the house was Johann Hoffmann. The (probably) newly built cinema offered seats for 578 spectators. It was located in a single-storey row of shops, through a passage the viewer got into the anteroom with the cash register and stairs on both sides of the foyer into the hall. A walkway encircled the chair block, the staff wore uniform clothing with the inscription Bali. There was a stage of 33 m², for the playing of sound films there was a sound film device from Kinoton, and a mechanical music system for background music for still existing silent films . The cinema was less than 100 meters from the train station . Around 1936 the Bali went to the Vereinigte Lichtspiele Walter Feindt & Co. KG. There were daily film screenings in Bali. The cinema survived the war years and was continued by Walter Feindt & Co. KG after the war . The location and condition of Bali attracted visitors, so often more tickets were sold than there were seats. The result was standing room for late spectators in the side aisles. For 1950, Walter Feindt's Bali with 558 seats and a stage with a theater license is named in the cinema directory. On the weekdays there were two shows, three on Saturday and four on Sunday. The Bali was characterized by the fact that a rear projection screen was installed on the canopy, on which slides were shown. At the end of the 1950s, the VEB Berliner Filmtheater took over all of the remaining privately run cinemas, including Bali. Later extras for GDR television films were selected in Bali. The cinema closed in June 1964 when audience numbers fell despite its popularity. From 1966 it became a DEFA recording studio. The building on the property at Bahnhofstrasse 35 stood until the early 1990s, but had to give way when the “ Forum Köpenick ” shopping center (Bahnhofstrasse 33-38) opened in 1997 was built.

Capitol

Dörpfeldstrasse  29
1918-1990
Postcard with Capitol (1953)

In the suburb of Adlershof in 1918 after the war, Hans Kuhlbrodt from Cöpenick opened a 400-seat movie theater called the "Union Theater". The cinema location (at that time) Bismarckstraße 29 was on the south side of the street near the market square, there were four tenants in the house of Kaufmann Thiel with A. Lau's inn. For 1920, the cinema address book already specifies “not in use”. Since the later owner Hermann Zacher from Eichwalde named 1933 as the year of the opening of the "Capitol" in the address book, the film offer (probably) took place in the guest rooms of Lau, while Kuhlbrodt provided the projection device. In the 1920s there was no further reference to film screenings, while the inn existed continuously.

In 1933, the cinema entrepreneur Hermann Zacher from Eichwalde opened the “Capitol” at Bismarckstraße 29 with 600 seats, although the hall of the restaurant had been expanded or converted. The three-storey apartment building had a courtyard passage on the left and house 27 is attached to the right. The depth of the property was 150 meters to Radickestrasse, the enclosed area reached 50 meters to the rear from the street. The cinema had a stage of 45 m² and there was both a mechanical music system and sound film equipment from Klangfilm. This made the cinema state-of-the-art and suitable for daily screenings with silent and sound films. Zacher is named in the 1940s with an apartment in Grünau, he remained the cinema owner through the war years . The building was preserved and so the cinema screenings in the Capitol continued in the post-war years with 593 seats. The location of Adlershof in the Soviet sector of Berlin meant that the administration was carried out by “Sovexportfilm GmbH” (N 58, Milastraße 2). In May 1951, Bismarckstrasse was renamed Dörpfeldstrasse without changing the house numbers. In the 1950s, the Capitol in Dörpfeldstrasse was continued by the “VEB Berliner Filmtheater”. This state-owned cultural enterprise was restructured in the 1970s to become the Berlin District Film Directorate, which also managed the Adlershof Capitol and operated it with daily performances. The cinema still had 420 seats and was probably due to its location in Adlershof.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall , the cinemas of the district film directorate were taken over by BFD GmbH (Gleimstrasse 32–35, 1058 Berlin, owned by). The Capitol was initially closed in October 1990, but was managed until 1993. The building in Dörpfeldstrasse then stood empty for a number of years, and an operator for the cinema could not be found. Around 2005, the investor and engineer Michael Weltzer and his partner Gert Menzner acquired the three-story building together with House 27 and had it redesigned into a market hall based on suggestions from the project developer Kai-Uwe Blietz. The Capitol market hall opened on November 15, 2007. Since then, 40 small market stalls have been available in the former cinema room (“department store for the senses”) and there was a fitness center with nutritional advice and a sauna with a roof terrace. A summer night cinema was planned for the courtyard area. The conversion to the market hall was carried out for € 3.5 million, but the concept did not last very long.

Central picture November 11, 1969: New department store in Friedrichshagen
On the market square of Friedrichshagen, the theater and hall building was located on the plot at Friedrichstrasse 112 on the south-west corner of Kirchstrasse. For 1918, “Lerches Theater- und Lichtspielsaal” is specified with 600 seats, the owner was the “widow Aug. Lerche & Sons”. In 1920, Karl Sommer from Friedrichshagen and Max Hohmuth from Berlin used the cinema with 500 seats as "Lichtspiele Bürgersäle". For 1921, the new owner Vereize even gave 900 places for the "Filmpalast". The information in the cinema address book results in a frequent change of ownership, whereby the additions to the name Film-Palast refer to the further use: In 1924, Hans Schulz and Adolf Reinhold from Berlin are the owners, in 1925 the “Film-Palast, Bürgersäle am Market place “Marie Krage for 500 spectators, 1928 A. Krage responsible for the“ Film-Palast im Stadttheater ”with its director Ernst Hilliger, he states 1923 as the year of the opening of his cinema. This year Curt Haupt and S. Liebling also stated 1929 and 1930 for the “Stadt-Theater”. With a capacity for 600 spectators, film screenings were shown daily. In 1931 Anton Nagel from Friedenau and Franz Dietrich from Berlin S 59 are the owners of the cinema in the Stadttheater, and until 1937 it was played three to four days a week, 650 seats. Under her leadership, the Kinoton sound film equipment was installed in the municipal theater in 1931. Finally, in 1937, Walter Feindt also took over this Friedrichshagen cinema in the administrative district of Köpenick, giving it the name “Capitol”. Walter Feindt and Karl Lange from Berlin-Köpenick were named as the owners of the Capitol, and from 1938 onwards they again played in the 548-seat cinema. The existing stage had a size of 50 m² and was (probably) also used for additional performances of the Art Film Show and Varieté.

In 1947 Friedrichstrasse was to be renamed Wilhelm-Bölsche-Strasse , and the shortened form to Bölschestrasse was enforced and officially confirmed. At the same time, Kirchstrasse was renamed Aßmannstrasse. The Friedrichshagen theater remained undamaged during the war and cinema operations continued unhindered in the post-war years . However, the cinema crisis leads to the closure with falling attendance figures. Like the neighboring dance hall, the “Capitol” on Markt Friedrichshagen made way for a department store. There were plans to re-establish a cinema there, but nothing came of this. The department store Aßmannstraße 55 became the shopping center Bölschestraße 113 with the parking lot along Aßmannstraße. What remains is the “Union” cinema at Bölschestrasse 69.

Adlershof
Friedenstrasse  12
since 1912
Street view (2012)

The street was laid out at the end of the 1880s, it is located as a south-eastern cross street on Dörpfeldstraße (then Bismarckstraße ), Adlershof belonged to the Teltow district and in 1912 it had 11,405 inhabitants. 1913/5642: A house was built in 1903 on the corner property at Friedenstraße 12/13 and Radickestraße 34, which in 1912 belonged to the architect Wandrey from Neukölln. In the rooms of the unused restaurant on the ground floor, the first cinema screenings were given in the shop cinema from 1912. The foyer including the ticket office and the projection room on the ground floor of the film theater were located on the entire surface of the front building. The plain and rectangular cinema was in the side wing of the house. As of 1913, Paul Funk in the Berlin address book at Friedenstrasse 12/13 was named as the owner of the cinematograph, and Marie Funk was the owner of the cinema from 1916. Mr. Berger is listed in the 1917 cinema directory for the cinema theater. In 1919, Marie Funk, as an innkeeper, is no longer listed as the cinema owner in the house. In 1920 Mr. Wegner is mentioned in the cinema address book. In 1920, the Berlin address book named Otto Briesenick as the cinema owner and then Marie Funk as the widow. His cinematic theater is noted for 165 seats and daily performances except Mondays. From 1921 Otto Briesenick gave the cinema name "Zentral-Lichtspiele" with daily screenings and specified 250 seats in the hall with block-like seating. In 1922 and 1923 Otto Briesenick is no longer among the Berlin residents, not even among the residents of Friedenstrasse 12/13 (widow Marie Funk continued to live in the house). The missing entry in 1924 probably resulted in a temporary closure.

During 1924 and 1925, Alfred Lehmann was the owner of the Zentral-Lichtspiele with 170 seats, two programs and performances seven days a week. In the course of 1925 Franz Edner took over the cinema, whereby in 1927 he had limited the game days for the summer months to four times and one program per week. Then in 1927 Otto Herre as the owner stated 200 places, daily performances and two programs per week. But it doesn't seem to have been successful either. In 1928 Arthur Koch became the owner of the “Central Theater” with 199 seats, now with a “C” in the Zentral, he also stated 1912 as the year it was founded. In 1932, Koch installed the sound film equipment and in 1935 the exterior facade was further upgraded with advertising and outdoor advertising, the cinema room offered 180 viewers. As a result of the renumbering in Radickestrasse, the corner property was given the address Radickestrasse 44/46 in addition to Friedenstrasse 12/13. In 1936/1937 the cinema entrepreneur Hermann Zacher from Eichwalde also took over the Adlershof Central-Lichtspiele in his portfolio. He had appointed Karl Friebel as managing director. The daily performances took place in front of 188 to 200 spectators.

The Central-Lichtspiele cinema, with 186 seats, was still operated by Zachers in the post-war years . However, the cinema was closed in 1958, which means that the VEB Berliner Filmtheater did not take over . After it was closed in 1958, the premises were remodeled and used as a costume fund for the (nearby) German TV broadcaster . After a long break and extensive renovation, the "Casablanca" cinema was opened in 1994 by the operator Kathrin Krischok with an attempt to establish a Treptower arthouse cinema. The interior design follows the name of the only Berlin cinema that is named after a film . The foyer with the specially designed counter is based on the interior of the “Cafe Americain”, the hall is illustrated all around with Moroccan street impressions. The hall offers 89 seats. The technical details are digital projection (DCP 30 SX II), image formats 1: 2.35 or 1: 1.85 (2k), screen 2.4 m × 5.2 m, digital sound 5.1, stage + microphone and headset, DVD and Blu-Ray projection. A picture gallery can be found on the cinema page under Impressions. After it opened in 1994, Kathrin Krischok ("Kino Erkner GbR") ran the cinema until 2000 when she sold it to the operator Peter Wagner from Eberswalde. The entrance fee (2016) is € 8.00 for adults and € 7.00 for schoolchildren and students, there is the cinema day on Tuesday for € 6.00 and the film highlight on Wednesday for € 4.00, with extra-long surcharges. Despite the multiplex competition at Treptower Park, the Casablanca survives with the replay of demanding films and popular hits in the neighborhood, which is relatively uninteresting for walk-in customers. A picture gallery from the Casablanca with entrance, cinema sign, foyer, wall painting and hall exists on the page of the cinema compendium. The cinema hall is entered via five steps and on the left a corridor leads to the screen. Like the foyer, the hall is painted with many details: streets with oriental market stalls, minarets, fountains and palm trees. Two columns with a round arch in the middle of the room complement the Moroccan street scenes on the walls as a three-dimensional extension. The color of the dark brown folding armchairs is very comfortable. In the back of the hall there are two separate swivel chairs with reclining backrests that are sold as boxes.

Ufa-Palast Treptower Park

Treptow
Elsenstrasse  115
since 1999
From Am Treptower Park.

In November 1999 the “Ufa Palast Treptower Park” with 2401 seats in nine cinemas was opened by Ufa AG . After the bankruptcy of Ufa, the multiplex belonged to Lübeck's " Neue Filmpalast GmbH & Co. KG " since April 2003 and initially retained the name. On January 1, 2005, the historical company abbreviation UFA was removed from the name, as Cinestar returned the license rights to the name to the " RTL Group ". “The choice of location for the second Berlin multiplex of the 'UFA Group' at the time will probably remain an eternal mystery: Certainly there will be a lot of public traffic in summer at the landing stages of the Stern- and Kreisschifffahrt and also in the countless parks. As it is well known that Germans go to the cinema less in summer, one has to ask oneself what Treptower Park has to offer in winter. "(Kinokompendium.de)

The multiplex is not far from the Treptowers directly at the busy B 96a intersection (formerly the trunk road from Cottbusser Tor to the southeast). The concrete building looks angular and heavy, despite its red, blue and yellow paintwork and the steel and glass facade, through which you can see the hustle and bustle in the multi-storey foyer. The lower foyer and its furnishings are on the ground floor. A corridor, over which a light-colored fabric with lamps is stretched, leads to the checkout area. The ticket offices are set up in a semicircle. In addition, there are various shops and bistros that are also open regardless of the cinema. The furnishing of the upper foyer is simple, next to a small snack counter there are a couple of bistro tables along the windows. The triangular area (street front Elsenstrasse: 115 m / Am Treptower Park: 42 m) of the multi-storey cinema building, which continues as a trapezoid at the opposite “Park Center”, is due to the B 100 reserve area at the Treptower Park junction .

The multiplex has nine halls. Room 1 on the first floor is the second largest after Room 5 with 419 seats in 17 rows. This room stands out in color from all other halls in the house. Hall 1 is red: walls covered with red fabric, elongated lamps, some with three red neon tubes and red and black curtains. Halls 2 to 4 with the same design - light blue curtains and dark blue, fabric-draped walls, dark blue seating - are on the first floor. Room 5 is the largest room in the house: light blue curtains, dark blue fabric on the walls, dark blue seating with a neck-high backrest. The special feature in room 5 are the large, white neon lights, at the top of which two rounded lights are attached as a kind of red neon crown. Hall 6 is almost identical to Hall 5: light blue curtains, dark blue walls, dark blue seating, large, white neon lights. The design of rooms 7 and 8 on the second floor is identical to the lower rooms 2 to 4. The armchairs with the high backrests are a bit uncomfortable. Hall 9 is at the far end on the first floor and is built in the classic black box style. At the opening it had the additional designation "Auditorium" and was offered to companies for multimedia events and lectures.

In all halls (as of 2016) the sound is reproduced via Dolby Digital 5.1 and the projection is exclusively digital , also installed for 3D reproduction . With the exception of halls 3, 4 and 7, 8, playback in HFR 4K technology is possible.

  • Hall 1: 422 seats, screen 7.6 mx 17.3 m
  • Hall 2: 282 seats, screen 6.7 mx 14.0 m
  • Hall 3: 175 seats, screen 5.3 mx 11.8 m
  • Hall 4: 140 seats, screen 4.8 m × 11.1 m

Come in JKZ

Adlershof
Rudower Chaussee  4
1989-1993 The "Come In" at the S-Bahn station was a youth leisure center in the Treptow district in Rudower Chaussee 4 from 1989 onwards. House 19 was the cultural building at the entrance to the barracks and was declared a youth cultural center after the military use was discontinued. Schlicht is named as the owner and operator of the cinema in the JKZ (Come In). The concept of an off-cinema (probably) ended in 1993. Until 1995, films were shown at irregular times before house 19 was demolished. As part of the redesign of the Adlershof areas south-east of the railway line into an “economic and cultural location” (urban development measure Berlin-Johannisthal / Adlershof), almost all buildings were demolished between 1990 and 2000 and the area has meanwhile been developed in accordance with the new requirements, including as Adlershof location of the Humboldt University . The former cinema location - the Rudower Chaussee 4 property - on the Karree Wagner-Regeny- / Merlitz- / Karl-Otto-Reinsch-Straße / Rudower Chaussee is an undeveloped (fallow) green area as of 2016. At the address Rudower Chaussee 4/6 there is an office / commercial building on the corner of Groß-Berliner Damm.

The culture house and cinema was built in the local barracks (Adlershof location) in the 1960s . For a long time it was one of the most modern cultural centers in East Berlin, but behind barracks walls. A cinema facility belonged to the culture house. At that time, films were shown in the facility's cultural hall, which was used as a cinema. From the end of the 1950s, the Adlershof site was set up on the barracks site built until 1980. It was built on the pre-war area of ​​the " German Research Institute " Johannisthal-Adlershof.

Altglienicke
Semmelweisstrasse  8
1910-1962 At Friedrichstrasse 2, right next to the church (No. 1), there was "Haberechts Gesellschaftshaus". In 1910, Haberecht applied for permission to show cinematographic presentations, so the first film screenings took place there. The society house was an inn with a larger ballroom than the former Reichshalle. Until 1914, the annual graduation celebrations in the rural community of Aktglinicke took place in Haberecht's ballroom. The Altglienicker Landwehr Association had its clubhouse at Haberechts and celebrated Kaiser Wilhelm's birthday in the hall with a theater, raffle and a festival ball. It is not known whether the innkeeper Haberecht had a "film showing license" or whether it was needed for Altglienicke in the 1910s. The irregular rectangular hall of the dance hall, built in 1902, lay along the course of the cemetery wall. A smaller hall became the foyer of the cinema and was through the taproom and hall in the two-story front building. The projection room was on the right. In the 1920s, there was a small-bore shooting range in the house for a short time. The entrance was moved to the courtyard.

The village of Altglienicke had a “big city attraction” with the cinema and a tram connection.

In 1935 Mrs. Meta Peter from Reinickendorf-Ost reopened the cinema. The "Tofag-Lichtspiele" offered 272 seats and daily performances. The name (probably) refers to the equipment for sound films. In 1937 the owners changed. Alexander Walburg now offered 327 seats in the "Corso". “The pretty Mrs. Walburg was sitting in the foyer at the cash register, in front of which long queues often formed, which sometimes reached across the courtyard and onto the street. On the screen, Pat and Patachon strained the laughing muscles, Henny Porten the tear glands and Harry Piel let his breath catch. 'Henny Porten eats the cakes, Harry Piel sits on the Nile, washes the beds with Persil', the Berliners rhymed. One day the rumor spread that Harry Piel was making a film in Altglienicke. He was expected at Solles windmill, where he was to be spun around, tied to the wings. Many curious people came to see their film hero and some waited in vain until the evening. You fell for a joke. ”On Tuesdays and Fridays the cinema program changed, with newsreels and cultural films usually showing before the main film. Advertising slides from Altglienick traders were shown, such as “Pittel & Kniebel” or “Radio-Haase”. There was a children's performance on Sundays.

The house with the cinema survived the years of war . As elsewhere on the outskirts of Greater Berlin, Alexander Walburg continued the film screenings in the "Corso". The Friedrichstrasse was renamed in May 1951 in Semmelweisstraße changed the plot numbering. The corso came to the address Semmelweisstrasse 8. (The church was given 4/6.) At the end of the 1950s, the cinema began to die out with falling audience numbers. The Corso cinema closed in September 1962 due to inefficiency. In 1973 the cinema was closed because it was dilapidated. Until the turn of 1990 there was a shoe shop in the front building. Then the house and hall were demolished and the building rebuilt as a residential and commercial building. A musicologist opened a book, instrument and music store and tried to arouse cultural interests with readings and events, but the concept didn't work. A hairdresser is located in the newly built house at Semmelweisstrasse 8 / 8a. The memory of the Corso disappeared with the new building.

1918-1924 Rudower Straße 54 was recorded in 1918 as the address of the cinematograph theater by Heinrich von Schemm, Rudolf Lintow is also named as the owner. The “Deutsche Lichtspiele” with 300 seats and performances from Monday to Friday were recorded at this address from 1920. Its owners were Max Sprück and Paul Jauer. After 1924 there is no further information on a cinema, so the German light shows were (probably) discontinued in 1924 . The building from 1920 is still present in its area.

For a short time in the 1950s, films were also shown in the DSF building. From 1969 the house was used as a district culture house and jazz cellar. Until 2002 the “gallery parking garage” was located here. In 2005 the villa was renovated as a residential building. The building is a historical monument.

Former cinema building (2013)

The Elster-Lichtspiele were opened on September 9, 1933 by the projectionist Günther Koglin from Berlin-Grünau, after he had previously been projectionist elsewhere. Their name was (probably) alternatively Lichtspiele Falkenhorst. There were daily screenings and the cinema in the Falkenhorst area had 299 seats. For the cinema, the address Elsterstrasse 2 was recorded in the cinema address book, which resulted in the name of the light games. The cinema building itself was at Schulzendorfer Strasse 22i, right on the corner of Elsterstrasse. In 1937 Koglin was also the owner of the Europa-Lichtspiele in Berlin-Grünau, Bahnhofstrasse 1. In 1941, Koglin was still the owner of the Europa- and Elster-Lichtspiele.

When the cinema opened, the Bohnsdorf district was assigned to the Cöpenick administrative district, and since the district reform in 1938 it has belonged to the Treptow administrative district. The cinema was continued by the Koglins from Buntzelstraße 102 with the cinema at Elsterstraße 2. In the commercial section of the Berlin address book, the 'Elster-Lichtspiele', Falkenhorst, Elsterstraße 2, T: 65 61 81 are still listed. The light shows on the outskirts of Berlin were spared the war. The Elster-Lichtspiele continued to operate unhindered in the post-war years, and (probably) continued to be privately run in East Berlin . However, the location of Falkenhorst was the reason that the venue had to cease operations during the years of the cinema crisis with falling visitor numbers and lower occupancy in June 1964. The low-rise building on an area of ​​15 m × 25 m is still preserved. The current address is (after 1980) Schulzendorfer 23e, the still vacant lots between Wachtel- and Elsterstraße were divided and an entrance between 22g and 23a shares the house numbers of the residential buildings. The former cinema building (with grocery store) (22i → 23e) was used commercially (after renovation) by a workshop and a car paint shop. On the (former overall) corner plot of Elsterstrasse / Schulzendorfer Strasse, a housing estate has now been built on an area of ​​120 m² under Elsterstrasse 2.

Excursion restaurants - location of the Hasselwerder

The Hasselwerder was a peninsula stretched out into the course of the Spree and the “Restaurant Hasselwerder” restaurant had existed here since the 1880s. On the south side of the Kaisersteg on Hasselwerderstrasse there were the workshops of a fabric and plush factory, residential buildings for its employees, the Hasselwerder villa, later the Elysium theater and cinema and the Wurstmaxen. The plush factory was called A. & A. Lehmann AG and the director Richard Lehmann lived with his wife Elsbeth "Else" Lehmann, their son Hans and their daughter Edith, in close proximity to the factory and the employees, from 1906 in a new one especially for them built Hasselwerder Villa. Richard Lehmann was a community representative in Niederschöneweide and owner of the theater-cinema Elysium. The cinema was opened in 1923 (according to information in the cinema directory 1922) by Richard Günther as the "Film Palace" at 17 Hasselwerderstrasse. There were daily demonstrations and two programs a week. The capacity of the cinema was noted between 500 and 764 viewers. In 1929 Karl Sedlak and Bernhard Heimann became the cinema owners of the Filmpalast and gave it the new name "Elysium", which lasted until it was closed. Sedlak and Heitmann owned together and individually other cinemas in Mitte, Weißensee and Wedding Schweitzergarten in Prenzlauer Berg, the Union in Köpenick, the Rote Mühle and the Rivoli in Wilmersdorf. The Elysium had a stage measuring 5 x 6 m, six cinema musicians were employed, and daily performances were given. In 1931, the sound film facility for the reproduction of sound films was installed. The number of seats was increased from 500 to 750 in the same year, in 1933 even 800 are registered, but from 1937 599. The information about the company of the owners changes somewhat: initially "Sedlak and Heimann", in 1931 Bernhard Heitmann from Berlin-Charlottenburg Bretschneiderstrasse became 11, in 1932 the "Elite-Kino GmbH" from Berlin-Weißensee (Berliner Allee 205) with director Karl Sedlak, in 1933 the Elysium Kino- und Restaurations-Betriebs Ges.mbH in Hasselwerderstrasse.

The cinema was taken over in 1937 by Karl Koeppen from Berlin O34 (Friedrichshain, Cadiner Straße 20) as owner, at times together with Attila Sajo. They ran the "Elysium" through the years of war. The Lehmann family who owned it died in a concentration camp in 1944. The cinema building and the restaurant were not damaged during the war, so the Elysium light shows continued in the post-war years. However, the state of construction meant that the cinema was closed in 1956. The building of the cinema was demolished in the 1960s. The Kaisersteg was blown up by SS units on April 22, 1945 and was replaced by a ferry connection between Ober- and Niederschöneweide. In 2007 it was restored. The properties on the southeast side of Hasselwerderstrasse up to the bank of the Spree had been restructured. In the course of construction work 1979–1980, the cinema location was built over. On the (now) Spree property at Hasselwerderstrasse 16 there is a football field within the surrounding green area.

The cinema was built as a hall cinema in the “Jägerhaus” restaurant, which belonged to Georg Erhardt. The Jägerhaus-Lichtspiele in Bahnhofstrasse 1 was on the corner of Friedrichstrasse 16. Bahnhofstrasse, the forest section from Grünau S-Bahn station and the Spree opposite Wendenschloss has been called Büxensteinallee since November 1938, and Friedrichstrasse became Regattastrasse in 1935 (before the Olympic Games) included. The Jägerhaus-Lichtspiele by Georg Ehrhardt and Bruno Freitag offered space for 200, from 1921 for 300 and from 1928 a capacity for 376 spectators. It was not played every day: in the cinema address book, Friday, Saturday, Monday, 1921 for Tuesday and Thursday, for 1925 three days, for 1928 four days and from 1929 the usual daily shows with two weekly program changes were entered. The stage with the screen of the cinema had a size of 24 m² and at least around 1927 there was a stage show, silent films were accompanied by three musicians. Bruno Freitag resigned from the owner / operating company. The restaurant owners were also the cinema owners, from 1921 Georg and Max Erhardt are listed. Max was the managing director and from 1929 the cinema owner of the Jägerhaus-Lichtspiele; in 1931 he had the Kinoton system installed for the sound film. In addition, the cinema was expanded to 385/386 seats from 1930.

Due to the loss (presumably death) of Georg Erhardt, Max Erhardt and Else Freitag became the property owners in 1933. The "Jägerhaus-Lichtspiele", which had existed since 1919, were closed due to inefficiency. As a result, a new hall was built on the property at Bahnhofstrasse 1 in 1934, in which the “Europa-Lichtspiele” opened on December 25, 1934. With the renovation, dr Bau received a two-storey porch with a foyer and ticket hall, an additional box block supplemented the seating and the lettering “Europe” was added at the entrance, with the advertising flag “Cinema” visible from afar. The new cinema hall (at Büxensteinallee 4) came to the cinema owner Günter Koglin from Bohnsdorf through a change of ownership. He operated the "Europa" in Bahnhofstrasse 1 with 409 seats, by renaming the street and changing from horseshoe to reciprocal numbering, the address was from 1938: Büxensteinallee 4. Due to the Berlin outskirts, the structure of the corner property with the cinema and the restaurant was unaffected by the war. The cinema resumed film operations in 1946 - after being temporarily used as the “Grünauer Colorful Stage”. The corner buildings were managed as plot 2/4 (Regattastraße 164). The separation of the theater hall on number 4 and the restaurant on property 2 was not carried out consistently. Koglin's Europa-Lichtspiele continued to operate in the post-war years . Last recorded in the telephone directory in 1960, cinema operations were discontinued in January 1961. After it was closed in the 1960s, the cinema was used as a rehearsal room for GDR television from 1965 . The actress Eva-Maria-Hagen also rehearsed there in 1967. After the political change in 1990, the theater building stood empty after it was cleared by television. In 2011 the house was bought by a private person and converted into a residential building. Fortunately, the Europa lettering was retained on the building. In the former hunter's house at Büxensteinallee 2 is the "Anett ice cream confectionery".

After the fall of the wall, Siemens built

The Filmbühne Treptow existed at Kiefholzstrasse 43 around 1950. It was located in the area of ​​a commercial settlement of the former Graetz AG . The company was converted into public ownership in 1949 and was called VEB Fernmeldewerk, Berlin-Treptow (RFT) from 1950 . So there was (probably) - as elsewhere in Berlin - the opportunity to use the existing space for film screenings, at least for a short time. Especially since cinema technology from the Graetz company should have been partially available here. As early as 1960, the area of ​​property 37-44 on the K4 map 4027 from the “City Map of Berlin” (scale 1: 4,000) was drawn in undeveloped, in the street to the east the residential building Kiefholzstraße 46-48 (consecutive) followed by the Ernst Schneller High School (Kiefholz Elementary School). With the construction of the Berlin Wall , the site became a restricted area and existing buildings were abandoned. A two-storey, elongated commercial building has been located on the property as Kiefholzstrasse 44 since 2003; a similar building adjoins to the west at Kiefholzstrasse 37. The existing industrial area Kiefholz- / Elsen- / Heidelberger Straße in the former area of ​​the Wall was acquired by Siemens after its fall in 1990 and built on.

Königsheideweg  250
1922-1933
Map K4 4026 from 1938: Stubenrauchstrasse 12/13
Replacement of the cinema building in 2017

The Stubenrauchstraße was renamed this Johannisthaler position 1932 in Königsheideweg because the street name with the formation of Greater Berlin had become ambiguous. The cinema address Stubenrauchstraße 12/13 became Königsheideweg 246 and 250 (owner Gertrud and Hans Kromrey respectively). According to the operator of the "Filmstern" in the cinema directory in 1933, the venue opened in 1922 as a "Filmschau" with 375 seats in Johannisthal at Stubenrauchstrasse 12-13. In 1928 Bruno Brunatzki and the “Kino-Zentrale” (O 17 Breslauerstraße 7) owned the local “Park-Lichtspiele”, opened in 1924. His cinema was registered with 480 seats for visitors and daily performances. These were continued in 1928 and 1930 by Otto Gerlach as owner of the cinema. 1933 was (probably) rebuilt. Under the name “Filmstern” by managing director Alfons Polähne, the technology from “Klangfilm” was installed for the presentation of sound films. The owner of the "Filmstern" (Stubenrauchstrasse 13) was Hans Kromrey from Berlin-Grunewald (Humboldtstrasse 49). In 1932, the innkeeper Julius Bota is still the property owner, Hans Kromrey is the manager and Gertrud Kromrey lives in the house. In the following year she was the owner of the property, which was already listed as Königsheideweg 246 instead of Stubenrauchstraße 12/13.

On the night of February 21, 1933, the "Filmstern" cinema in Johannisthal burned out. The cause of the fire has not been clarified. This left some contradictions open: “In the cinema, the valuable projectors could be saved, although the auditorium burned to the ground.” Parallels were drawn to the fire in the Reichstag on the night of February 27th to 28th, 1933. The similarities between the events led to the assumption that the fire in the film star was a test case for the fire in the Reichstag. “When the first fire engines arrive at the scene of the fire, the flames are already popping out of the roof. The large hall with its around 600 seats can no longer be saved, and the entire roof structure soon collapses. [...] Less than a week later the Reichstag was on fire. At that time there were voices that put the two events in context. […] Both fires were never cleared up, both were limited to a room of roughly the same size: here the cinema, there the plenary hall. And the SPD MP and former President of the Reichstag, Paul Löbe, noted, after visiting the Reichstag the morning after the fire, that 'the hearth was limited to the plenary hall as planned'. The hall was completely destroyed, but almost all other rooms of the Reichstag could still be used. [...] whether [they] practiced in the burning cinema in Johannisthal how to set a large hall on fire without being caught red-handed. The investigations into the cinema fire were stopped on February 27, 1933. The cause of the fire could "no longer be determined," said the Berlin fire department. The Reichstag burned on the evening of the same day. "

After the cinema building burned down, the inn was (probably) still used on the property. In the Berlin address book, the locomotive driver W. Große became the owner of property 248/250, which in 1938 still belonged to Ms. Gertrud Kromrey. In the mid-1950s, the four-story row of residential buildings Königsheideweg 252–260 (straight) was built on the land on Sterndamm. The existing building on plots 246 and 250 was redesigned or rebuilt well afterwards. In the 2000s, Königsheideweg 248/250 was the name of the “Haus Königsheideweg” youth hostel run by the Universal Foundation.

Forum light games

Köpenick
Parrisiusstrasse  12/14
1933-1998 Parrisiusstraße was still parceled out in 1930 from Bahnhofstraße to Borgmannstraße on its south side with 1–6 (continuous) but undeveloped, the north side (25–30) was undeveloped up to the area of ​​the weekly market at the train station . On this attractive open space, Walter Feindt had the first independent purpose-built cinema built in Köpenick according to plans by the architect Fritz Barthel. With the switch to consecutive numbering, the cinema address was 12/14. In 1933, Feindt opened the “Forum” light games, the largest cinema in the district with 856 seats. When it opened, the cinema had a stage of 70 m² and, in keeping with the times, sound film equipment from Klangfilm, as well as a mechanical music system . There were daily performances run by the "United Light Games Walter Feindt & Co. KG". “The facade of the cinema has remained almost unchanged over the years. Two of the four entrance doors were in the two-story central projectile below the small canopy. There, a white-glazed luminous body illuminated the cinema name hanging below and the central poster. Amazingly, there is no recording in which the area above the canopy is used for a large-format advertisement. From the ticket hall, which was built along Parrisiusstraße, a corridor led left and right (which enclosed the hall as a whole in a U-shape) first into a small anteroom with a snack counter and then to the side entrances to the hall. The hall had a two-tier rectangular cove lighting designed by the original architect Fritz Barthel. The golden brown curtain hung directly in front of the screen so that the spacious stage of the hall could also be used with the curtain closed. "

The cinema building survived the war years and the cinema could continue to operate with 797 seats in the post-war years . With its location in the Soviet sector of Greater Berlin, the cinema came into the administration of Sovexportfilm GmbH from N 58 Milastraße 2. The largest cinema in the Köpenick district was then continued under the VEB Berliner Filmtheater. As a result of the structural change in East Berlin's cultural operations, the “District Film Directorate Berlin” managed the forum in Köpenick. In 1986 the cinema was restored and the number of seats reduced to 500. The spacious stage of the hall could also be used with the curtains closed. In addition to artistry and clowning during the children's Christmas program, there were also sporadic concerts. Jörg Prinz names Nina Hagen and Karat in his movie book . In the 1950s, there was a stage show in the Forum for a 50 pfennig surcharge before the main film. There, among others, the all-German hit idols Rudi Schuricke and Bully Buhlan performed . Whole generations of 14-year-olds later saw their youth consecration ceremony . With the political change in 1990, the reorganization of the district film directorate (Milastraße 2) to "bfd GmbH" (Gleimstraße 32-35, O-1058 Berlin) and its affiliation with the Treuhandanstalt promoted the privatization of East Berlin cinemas - including the "Forum" .

In 1992 the further operation of the cinema was up for discussion. At that time there were plans to build a house with three integrated cinema halls, but they were not carried out any further. First, in 1993, "Fuchs GmbH & Co. Filmtheater KG" (Potsdam, Leipziger Strasse 60) took over the Köpenicker cinema from "bfd GmbH". From June 17, 1993, Yorck-Kino GmbH - FTB (Berlin, Rankestrasse 31) became the cinema owner in the course of expansion into the eastern part of the city. Yorck brought the cinema up to date with the latest technology, for example with the Dolby Surround sound system . In 1994 the old wooden folding chairs (with upholstery) were replaced by the red-striped seating from the Ku-Damm cinema; the Yorck group had bought some of the seating from the renovation of the Zoo Palast (probably from Hall 1). Although Yorck's original lease for the Forum ran until 2002, the traditional cinema near the S-Bahn station was unexpectedly closed on December 20, 1998. The company had to close earlier than planned as there were other plans for the property in the district, but they were never realized. Instead, the district had to look for a new investor for new plans. “The forum was one of a total of five movie theaters between the S-Bahn and the old town. It's a shame how the beautiful house is rotting away, it has been broken into several times and even a fire set inside. (Jürgen Labisch in 2000) “In the end, the cinema was only demolished after 2002, so that the theater could theoretically have continued. When the house was demolished, residential buildings for the “Vitanas Seniors Centrum Bellevue” were built.

In the afternoon there was the Frog King and in the evening Turandot or The Taming of the Shrew . The auditorium and stage were constantly being expanded. There were also film screenings from the start. From 1934 there were 1,500 permanent seats. A headlight tower, a baffle, cloakrooms for 150 participants and an orchestra pit in front of the stage were built and there was an underground passage from the orchestra to the cloakrooms behind the stage. From 1937 the Schillertheater played on the stage, so Heinrich George staged The Robbers and What You Want and Walter Felsenstein the Gypsy Baron . 1940 With the beginning of the Second World War , the game was stopped. The natural theater survived the war, but in 1946 a fire destroyed parts of the stage. In 1948 the district office left the natural theater to the Frista, who converted the natural theater into a tennis stadium.

In 1998, after a break of more than fifty years, the Friedrichshagen Nature Theater was reopened. The open-air cinema is 100 m from the Friedrichshagen S-Bahn station and is operated by the Friedrichshagener Kino Union . Opened in 1931 as a natural stage, the facility has around 500 seats. The stage was reopened on June 27, 1998 and the open-air cinema in July 1998. In May 2006, the "Kinos Union" took over the open-air cinema from its owner and operator Matthias Stütz from Bölschestrasse. 60 covered seats in the back rows make it possible to play when it rains. In 2007 the open-air stage was renamed from "natural theater" to "open air cinema". The amphitheater could hold 800 people on the wooden benches, but only the rows in the middle are of interest for film screenings, as the screen hangs in a box and an extremely sideways view is not possible. The seats only have a backrest in the last nine rows; the last row is covered. There are two covered seating areas next to the projector house, each with two rows.

On December 17, 1960, the "Filmtheater Gérard Philipe" was opened in Treptow on the corner of Karl-Kunger-Wildenbruchstrasse. The building was erected on a vacant area at the corner of Karl-Kunger- and Wildenbruchstrasse, it was built on Plesser Strasse, which runs diagonally into this intersection. The name Gérard Philipe for the cinema stood for the popularity of the French actor in the GDR around 1960.

The cinema was opened by Kurt Degner on January 14, 1939 with an inn at 20 Viktoriastraße. The camera had 335 seats for spectators and there were performances every day. At the opening date, the installation for showing sound films was available. The location was 150 meters from Wilhelmshagen S-Bahn station . The left-hand plots 18–22 (straight) between Viktoriaplatz (station forecourt) and the forester (district Hessenwinkel) belonged to the Deutsche Reichsbahn AG until 1936, and were inhabited by railway employees. These properties were taken over privately in 1937 by Rentiere Nielbock from Karlshorst. From 1938 house 18 belongs to the engineer Paul Luther. In 1939 Kurt Degner bought house 20, he lived in 22. The building with the "camera light games" Viktoriastraße 20 (Degner had the apartment in 22) remained undamaged during the war.

The cinema could be continued soon after the end of the war. Kurt Degner was no longer the owner of the "camera" after the war . Wilhelmshagen was in the Soviet sector and so the cinema was operated by “Sovexportfilm GmbH” in Berlin N 58 Milastraße 2. "In the immediate post-war period, Sovexportfilm had the distribution and distribution monopoly for the SBZ [... films must be confirmed by] Sovexportfilm, regardless of the military censorship of the SMAD." In 1951 Viktoriastraße was renamed Erknerstraße. It ends about 100 meters east of the theater site on the country Jägerallee, a 25 meter wide corridor of Berlin's neighboring town Erkner , 1400 meters long on the south side of the railway line of the "finger area" stands on Berlin territory. With the transfer of Soviet occupation rights to German authorities in 1955, the “VEB Berliner Filmtheater” was founded, which operated the camera in Wilhelmshagen. On December 31, 1967, the cinema ended. The building and the rooms at Erknerstraße 39 were used differently in the following. Since 2002 there has been a print shop in the former cinema. The unrestored external condition of the building still allows an idea of ​​the cinema facade.

In 1909 Robert Schonert opened his cinematograph theater in the new building on Brückenstraße 9 as the oldest cinema in the ex-Treptow district; it should have been a small shop cinema. In the previous year, Robert Schonert was the owner of the leather goods factory Robert Schonert and Co. in Brückenstraße 3. Schonert's Kintopp may not have gone well, because in the following year he is no longer registered at Brückenstraße 9 and among the Niederschöneweider traders. Instead of the cinema owner Schonert in Niederschöneweide, the leather worker Robert Schonert in Rixdorf Weisestrasse 12 is listed in the Berlin address book in 1911 among the inhabitants of Berlin and its suburbs. The cinema was stopped again in 1910/1911. In the rooms, intermediate walls were drawn in and the rooms continued to be used as a shop. Brückenstraße is part of the count from Schöneweide S-Bahn station to Treskowbrücke , and almost all of the old buildings, especially House 9 and Brückenstraße 3, were preserved in the war and post-war period. Like the neighboring houses, the four-storey residential building was renovated after 1990 and has shops on the ground floor.

WF Culture House 1975

In the autumn of 1950 the “House of Culture” with a concert hall for 900 people was opened in Oberschöneweide “for the working people, for the supporters of our young democratic republic”. It was built in the former farm building (Wilhelminenhofstrasse 68) of the Oberschöneweide battery factory. “... the large reception hall of the new 'House of Culture' will shine invitingly in sand-colored artificial stone and present itself in its simple, architecturally beautiful form as a symbol of our struggle for peace, unity and construction. Behind two pillar entrances are where there were once washing and changing rooms, ticket counters and cloakrooms. For the utility rooms of the battery factory, which were housed in this house, space was created by May 1st [1949] through the conversion and expansion of another factory building. Glass doors lead from the reception hall and the cloakrooms into the newly built spacious staircase. The 450 square meter showroom on the first floor is finished except for the interior. […] A large part of the second and third floors is taken up by the 900-person concert hall with indirect ceiling lighting and a 100-square-meter stage. This used to be a dining room. A projection room with two cinema machines will enable film events to be held in the hall. "

After the film announcements in the Berliner Zeitung , regular film screenings began in the Kulturhaus in 1952 and were last announced for the following week on November 16, 1962. The cinema was located in the "Culture House of the Works for Television Electronics". The brick building of the culture house of the television electronics factory was located to the left of the entrance to the Ostend- / Slabystraße factory premises (formerly the Oberschöneweide accumulator factory, VEB Oberschöneweide accumulator factory ). The end of the cinema in the Kulturhaus may have been due to structural changes in the state-owned sponsoring company. On the other hand, the decline in visitor numbers in times of the cinema crisis will have made the difference. The commercial space is managed by GSG gGmbH . The studio building "Haus 15" of the BBK Berlin is on the property . The former Kulturhaus 68 and the neighboring houses are part of the listed complex “Akkumulatorenfabrik Oberspree, Afa”. Parts of the former Kulturhaus are used as “Haus Strohhalm” by the AWO for helping the homeless.

With the fall of the Berlin Wall, there were changes to the industrial area between Wilhelminenhofstrasse and Spree, so west of Edisonstrasse at 88/89 / 89a / 90 the Spreehöfe industrial park was set up with mixed use. In the Spreehöfen two former production halls of Allgemeine Deutsche Metallwerke (meanwhile used by BMHW ) on the property at Wilhelminenhofstrasse 89 (House 7) were converted into a five-screen cinema. In September 1998 the "Kinowelt in the Spreehöfen" was opened by the film rights dealer "Kinowelt Medien AG" through its cinema subsidiary " Kinopolis " in Oberschöneweide. "Kinowelt Medien AG" ran into difficulties on the stock exchange in 2001 and filed for bankruptcy in December . “They drive past the only cinema in their district: there is no atmosphere at the old depot in Oberschöneweide. There are currently 14 large multiplex cinemas and 87 smaller houses in Berlin. […] Fierce competition is raging, the first palaces are in dire straits. ”On October 18, 2001, a new operator bought the five-screen cinema. The inventory of the insolvent Kinopolis was kept by the house owner Lothar Augusten as security for outstanding rent payments. The name "Kinowelt" for the venue led to a license dispute, whereupon it was renamed "Cinema in the Wellness Club". Its concept remained largely unknown and the public relations work was moderate and there was also no website for the cinema. Thereupon the operator changed again on February 2, 2006 and used the location again under the name “Kino Spreehöfe”.

In 1998, a glass cube placed over the entrance area and a curved, glazed demolition were rebuilt as a foyer on the industrial site. Both parts form a unit, but appear to be separated by a blue wall. A vertical blue cinema lettering hangs on the wall. The Kinowelt logo was there at the opening. There is a large counter on the first floor selling tickets and snacks. In the glass cube there are seats and a bar with stools with a view over the parking lot. A glazed bridge leads into the brick building of the refurbished and converted factory building, halls 1 to 3 are located here and another glazed bridge leads to the brick building opposite with rooms 4 and 5. 3D presentations are possible in rooms 1 and 2 , the projections take place digital in all halls and the sound system is Dolby Digital 5.1 . Room 1 is the largest with 310 seats; the walls and ceiling are black, and the armchair and back wall are red. Red neon stripes over the side aisles direct the viewer's gaze to the screen. In room 2 with 180 seats in ten rows, ceiling tiles in shades of blue match the blue folding armchairs, complemented by neon light strips in blue as a horizontal band from the back wall to the front rows. Room 3 with 94 seats is designed with turquoise folding armchairs sprinkled with black armchairs. Hall 4 with 90 seats was structurally changed in 2007 by adding five rows (90 seats). Light gray reflective shelves allow guests to find space for drinks and food. The walls are blue, the folding armchairs are black, the semicircular ceiling has black ceiling elements pushed into one another. Opposite room 4, room 5 is mirrored in the floor plan, the entrance is from behind via a side corridor. The screens are adapted to the space and size of the hall.

Entrance to the observatory (2004)

The observatory in Treptower Park was created from a temporary installation for the 1896 trade exhibition in Berlin. In April 1909 a permanent new building to replace the trade exhibition was opened by the Archenhold family . Film screenings were also held in the observatory, and a cinema theater was registered as early as 1917. Popular science lectures and film screenings began in 1909 with the newly designed observatory. In 1918, there were 500 seats for cinema screenings in the “Treptow Observatory” and the Saturday and Sunday game days. The director of the observatory and the integrated cinema was Dr. Arkhold. The cinema equipment was also used by Archenhold for his specialty. Friedrich Archenhold was the first chairman of the "Cinematographic Study Society", "which strives to refine and deepen cinematography". In 1927 there was no evidence of film screenings in the cinema directory, from 1928 the screenings took place on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, and from 1930 there were screenings on four days (Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday) in front of the 450 seats in the cinema . From 1931 onwards, films were shown every day except on Monday and Friday in the "Treptow Observatory". Managing director and owner of the Treptow observatory with the cinema was now the director Günter Archenhold . In 1934 Kinoton installed mechanical music and sound film equipment. From 1937 onwards, the hall with 420 seats for cinema performances has been included in the cinema directory every day except Mondays. The “Treptow-Sternwarte” operated as the owner until 1938 under managing director Günter Archenhold. From 1939 he was replaced by operator Egon Körth, and the observatory was taken over by the city of Berlin. In 1941, the Treptower observatory with 430 seats and daily performances is owned by the “Volksbildungshaus Berlin EV” with managing director Egon Körth.

The “Treptower Observatory” was hit by a bomb in the southwest wing during World War II, whereby the giant telescope remained without serious damage. On June 1, 1948, it was named "Archenhold-Sternwarte" after its founder. In the post-war period, the “Sternwarte-Lichtspiele” with 432 seats for spectators and three performances a day were played in Treptower Park. The cinema was owned by the Magistrate of Greater Berlin and operated by the managing director Willi Noack. The cinema technology was a projection apparatus Erko IV and for the sound the amplifier from Klangfilm-Europa, plus the slide equipment. With the centralization and nationalization of the cinemas in East Berlin, the “Kino in der Sternwarte” continued to be operated by the “VEB Berliner Filmtheater” (based in Milastrasse). With the restructuring, the Berlin District Film Directorate ran and operated the cinema. This made it possible to take over the "Kino in der Sternwarte" like the other East Berlin film theaters during the privatization by the Treuhandanstalt after the political change in BFD Berlin GmbH. In the following outsourcing and sale of the individual venues, Archenhold-Sternwerte became the owner of the cinema and the film business was led by Mr Buckert. The cinema in the observatory with its 300 seats was finally closed in 1995. At that time, the more convenient multiplex in Treptow, 1500 meters away, was already being prepared. The large Zeiss planetarium , built for the 750th anniversary of Berlin in 1986 in Ernst-Thälmann-Park on the former gasworks site in Prenzlauer Berg , formed an organizational unit with the observatory until 2013. The cinema there was reconstructed in the mid-2010s and is currently operated in the densely populated district. The special popular science function of the cinema on astronomical topics is taken over by the cinema there.

In 1907 the cinematographic presentations with Photoscope and Stereoscope began in the shop cinema of the eight-tenant house of the grain dealer Schmaedig. The cinema was set up with the new building of the residential building. The hall was in the right wing. It was entered via a small anteroom with the cinema box office, the toilets were relocated to the annex. In the 1910s, Wilhelm Kellner ran his “Lichtbild Theater” from Flemmingstrasse 8. Against the competition in the old town of Köpenick, the cinema survived until it was ended in the first year of the war in 1915. Since then there have been mostly shops in the rooms of the shop cinema. In the old building, which was reconstructed and renovated after the political change , there is a bakery shop on the ground floor to the left of the gate entrance, which 100 years earlier may have been the space for cinematographic presentations in the center of the city of Köpenick in the Niederbarnim district .

Grünstraße 10 - Kaiserhof: Location 1928

The "Light Palace" stood on the south side of Grünstraße in the old town of Köpenick until the 1960s. The “Hotel Kaiserhof” was originally located at Grünstraße 10. The building was designed in 1875 by master bricklayer Friedrich Lahne and built on behalf of innkeeper C. Streichhan. The hall of the Kaiserhof was directly connected to a transverse building. In 1913, Wilhelm Kellner opened the Kaiserhof Lichtspiele in the hotel's dance hall. As the owner, “W. Kellner Lichtbild-Theater ”(Flemmingstrasse 8). The cinema initially had 400 seats and daily screenings. The projector room was right behind the screen. The hall entrance was from the courtyard into the hall with two seating blocks, a stage and an orchestra pit. From 1916 a buffet enabled the cinematography theater to be managed. In 1920 Georg Schwarz and Max Friedrich owned the cinema and named 535 seats in the cinema. But as early as 1921 the "Lichtspiel-Union Fürst & Co. KG" from Berlin, which stated 600 seats. In 1922, direct projection was set up to improve the film experience. For 1924/1925 Reimann / Reinhert was given as the owner with 450 places. From 1927 H. Baumgarten and A. v. Hetees (H. Etéé) from Berlin the Köpenick cinema. They ran it under the name Lichtpalast with daily performances with 520 to 600 seats. This increase in the number of seats became possible when four pillars standing in the room were removed. There was a stage 10 m × 6 m in size and six cinema musicians provided the silent films with acoustics. In 1929 the cash register was moved to the stable building next to it and the foyer was enlarged. In 1931 Walter Feindt (Berlin-Köpenick) installed the Tobis / Klangfilm sound film equipment as the owner . From 1933 as "Vereinigte Lichtspiele Walter Feindt" with the seat in Köpenick, Walter Feindt & Co, limited partnership. Since the second half of the 1930s with 427 seats. Walter Feindt also ran the light plays in the post-war years (probably with a brief interruption in 1945/1946) . The transverse building and side wing were badly damaged in the war, but the cinema was still open. In 1950, Walter Feindt's “Light Palace” had 595 places. On the weekdays there were two shows, three on Saturday and four on Sunday. An opera and a theater license existed for the 8 m × 6 m × 6 m stage.

In the course of the nationalization of the cultural institutions and thus the cinemas, the VEB Berliner Filmtheater took over the "Lichtpalast" from the private cinema owner Walter Feindt from 1958 . Cinema operations were gradually reduced from 1964 onwards as the number of visitors declined and construction costs were incurred. On December 31, 1967, the cinema ended. The (former) Hotel zum Kaiserhof is included as a monument in the “Altstadt Köpenick” ensemble. The hall in the rear part of the property towards Kietzgraben is no longer available, the war damage with increasing cracks and the sloping wall of ruins allowed filming. However, the structural damage was ultimately part of the reason for the closure in 1967. On this part of the property, Müggelheimer Strasse was laid out in two lanes with a median of two lanes in 1979–1981 when the “Köpenick old town bypass” was expanded.

Previously, in the local area of ​​"Rahnsdorfer Mühle", the "Wirtshaus" was located on this property on Königin-Luise-Strasse (before 1938) until the war years . From the spring of 1943 it was requisitioned as accommodation for forced laborers from the AEG transformer factory in Oberschöneweide. The building was used by a church institution in the 1960s and 1970s.

The corner house at Berliner Straße 121 to Flutstraße (and Fließstraße) was built in 1911 as a new building by the architect Schewe from Charlottenburg. With the new building there was the possibility of a movie theater in the house. For which the cinema owner P. Leif at Flutstrasse 1 was noted in 1912. However, Leif is no longer listed in 1913 in the corner house at Berliner Straße 121 / Flutstraße 1 by the architect Schewe. The later owners also entered the cinema address book as the beginning of their light plays in 1914. However, the Berlin address book shows Max Reek with the cinema theater at Flutstrasse 1 as early as 1914 and was still mentioned in the cinema address book in 1920. The cinema had 170 to just over 200 seats and, according to information in the cinema address book in 1920, was used “especially in winter” every day, with Max Reek citing 425 seats for 1920. After the cinema was (probably) closed in 1921 and there was no entry, Hermann Hucke was named as the owner from 1924: 200 seats, daily performance, two programs per week. From 1927 Eberhard Marquardt from N24, Friedrichstraße 107, was named as the owner of the cinema, but businessman Max Reek still lives in the house at Berliner Straße 121. Up until 1931, the Niederschöneweider Lichtspiele by Marquard are noted in the cinema address book: Berliner Straße 121, founded in 1914, daily performance, 164 Places. Given the small size, switching to a sound film facility was (probably) not profitable. According to the cinema address book, the cinema theater ceased operations in 1931; the Berlin address book still lists the cinema owner Marquardt for 1931, not for 1932.

The Berlin street was renamed Schnellerstraße 1947, the house numbering was retained. According to the K4 cards in Histomap-Berlin, the house at Flutstrasse 1 was retained, while the greater part of “Berliner Strasse” 121 was lost. The remaining dilapidated house on the corner was named "Local Social Capital" by the Sonnenhaus e. V. renovated and reconstructed. The area of ​​(since 1947) Schnellerstraße 121 is a green area next to the neighboring house Schnellerstraße 120.

The Oberschöneweider Lichtspiele with 140 seats are still included in the cinema directory for the cinema owner Willy Scholz in 1918, he evidently gave daily performances of silent film sequences in the pub. After him, there was a change of ownership in 1920. The new owner of the bar and cinema Otto Lange indicated 180 seats, in the following year 1921 there were only three days of use. After the period of inflation , from 1924 onwards, the cinema directory states Wilhelm Kollekowski as the owner of the cinema: 178 seats, daily performances, two programs per week. The owner in 1927 is H. Stresau. Thereafter, the cinema was closed, whereby the change of house owner could have been the cause. In 1927, H. Stresau is still listed in the address book as an innkeeper at Mathildenstrasse 1 and Wilhelminenhofstrasse 51, and the following year he moved to Oranienstrasse as a merchant.

The corner house has been preserved as a refurbished old building with five floors thanks to the attic extension. The cinema of the pub had an entrance from the corner of the house, which was five meters wide. The former rooms still exist on the ground floor and are used by the Wilhelminenhof pharmacy (as of the 2010s).

The land on Bahnhofstrasse was included in Buntzelstrasse in 1931, and was renumbered from horseshoe shape to reciprocal counting. Bahnhofstrasse 12 thus became Buntzelstrasse 72. In addition, the district of Bohnsdorf was transferred from the Köpenick administrative district to Treptow during the district reform in 1938. The Paradies-Lichtspiele in Bohnsdorf only existed for a short time. The area south of Buntzelstrasse and Dahmestrasse belonged to the workers' building cooperative "Paradies", from which the cinema name could follow. The owner of the cinema at Buntzelstraße 72 was, according to the Reichs-Kino address book, the “United Lichtspiele Bohnsdorf, Walter Holze”. Walter Holze had mechanical engineering at Waltersdorfer Strasse 70/71 in the early 1920s. With the opening, there was a sound film facility from Kinoton for “Paradise”. In the cinema address book, Holze named 1932 as the year it opened. After comparing the representation on the “City Map of Berlin” Map 3013, the building was expanded between 1930 and 1937. The corner lot "Bahnhofstraße 11/12" was divided into the lots Buntzelstraße 72 and 70 (the latter with Gartenstadtweg 226) around 1931.

The “Paradies” cinema by Holze had 200 seats and there were screenings two days a week. The “Paradise Cinema” existed at this address until 1934. There were no later entries in the cinema address book. The inn remained, however, although the innkeeper had changed during the cinema years: in 1932 it was Martin Madry, in 1934 it became Else Albrecht.

After the 1970s, the building of the former inn, which also housed the cinema, was demolished. The plot of land at Buntzelstraße 72 was recently divided and the housing estates 72, 72a and 72b were built on it.

In 1925, the performances ended and Bley ceased operations. When the cinema was open, the house belonged to the Huth brothers from Oranienstrasse 196; it was managed by innkeeper Wolfram, who had his inn here. The building on the property at Am Treptower Park 20 belonged to the foundation of the Prussian-Jewish court jeweler family Ephraim from 1803.

The house with the restaurant at Am Treptower Park 20 was symmetrical to house 19 with a back building up to the railway line. The building at the cinema location and the two neighboring houses were destroyed in the war. After clearing the rubble, the area was redeveloped with a four-storey residential row at Am Treptower Park 18-20 (continuously).

Sports areas remained

Between Baumschulenweg and Treptow along the Plänterwald, residential developments were built with public money in the 1930s. In 1939, the architect Alfred Gerschel planned the construction of an independent cinema building with 1,100 seats. This was to be built on a vacant lot in the Treptow administrative district on Köpenicker Landstrasse between Baumschulenweg and Treptow. The apartment blocks on the other side of the street on both sides of the lake ground (187-207, 211-219) already existed. The building police, however, denied him the building permit with reference to a lack of workers and the lack of building materials. The three-part facade was intended for a low-rise building with a hipped roof over the hall. At the front, two side parts with three windows each and a higher five-axis pillar hall with the cinema name and the entrance were planned. The foyer and the ticket hall with the bar and cloakroom led with two side corridors into the auditorium. The audience parquet and a steeply rising high parquet, which was accessed directly from the foyer, were planned here. In the book cinema architecture, page 204, a picture of the facade and the draft of the floor plan is given. Lot 208 was still undeveloped across from the lake ground on the southwest side of the street between lot 150 on Eichbuschallee and apartment block 220ff. to Trojanstrasse. Sports fields have been set up on the areas between the highway and the railway line. As a result of the war, residential development was suspended and the areas remained undeveloped. The war events did not affect the sports fields. In the 1960s these were named "Willi-Sänger-Sportanlage" after Willi Sänger .

1920 Around 1920 there was another cinema in Bohnsdorf / Mark. The place belonged to the Niederbarnim district before it was incorporated into Greater Berlin in the Cöpenick administrative district . In the "Colony Falkenhorst" were in the Reichs-Kino address book from the publishing house of the Lichtbildbühne, third year 1920/21 under the location Bohnsdorf i. Mark, Brandenburg the Bohnsdorfer Lichtspiele in Riedelstrasse 1 was recorded by Isidor Kowalski. The cinema had 75 seats and was played on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Waltersdorfer Strasse was (preferably) called Riedelstrasse in its northern section . The street name was officially recorded in 1925, but it is not given in the Berlin address book (where Bohnsdorf only appears when it was incorporated into Greater Berlin). Popularly in use until the early 1930s. The assignment of property 1 on Riedelstraße was not clearly possible. The Waltersdorfer Strasse is in the Berlin address book 1922. With the specified number of seats and the two performances per week, Isidor Kowalski's cinema location was Waltersdorfer Strasse 100 - the only restaurant on this street. Innkeeper Heimann's "Wirtshaus Paradiesgarten" with this address was on the corner of "Elsterstrasse 12", since 1931 → Elsterstrasse 31. The innkeeper Isidor Kowalski himself was registered in 1921 in O 17 (Friedrichshain), Müncheberger Strasse 3 on the fourth floor. presented for the first time.

The existing three-storey, four-wing residential building on the Elsterstrasse 31 property was obviously built after the 1970s and after the previous pub building was demolished (in the 1990s - according to Google Earth before 2000) and no longer has any reference to the cinema location.

The building with the present upper floor (2011)

"Cöpenick b. Berlin. A cinematograph theater has been opened in the hall of the old Ratskeller. ”() The residential and commercial building Alt-Köpenick 31/33 on Schlossplatz was built in 1888 by the architects Fritsche & Prodöhl for Carl Streichhan. Until the completion of the new town hall in 1904, the Köpenicker Ratskeller was on the upper floor of the house. In 1910, after a renovation, H. Kuhlbrodt opened a cinema with 260 seats. The cinema was called Schlosstheater after its location, but was also named as Kammer-Lichtspiele (Schloßtheater). After the house was closed in the course of 1920, it was taken over by Hans Weitenauer (Berlin SW., Yorkstrasse 5). And in 1921 the Kaltwasser Brothers from Köpenick became the owners. The economic turbulence caused by inflation (probably) led to the closure of the 200-seat cinema with daily screenings in 1922.

The Schloßstraße was renamed because of the ambiguity of street names . From 1939 it was called Litzmanndamm, due to the denazification in 1947 in Alt-Köpenick. The house was rebuilt again in 1951 and is located on the corner of Alt-Köpenick and Grünstraße. The building is part of the "Ensemble Altstadt Köpenick" and is a listed building. Since 1995 there has been a “Schlossplatztheater” again, which as a theater revives the tradition of the house as a cultural center with concerts, theater and cabaret performances.

The four-storey house in Baumschulenstrasse with a triangular gable on the street facade was built in 1897 and housed an inn with a hall. In 1912, the film screenings began as a supplement to the restaurant in the front building. In 1916 , the year of the war , Dröscher opened the "Lichtspielhaus Treptow" in the dance hall, and the side wing became the foyer. The cinema, also known as the “Lichtspielpalast Treptow”, had 460 seats for spectators and there were daily silent film screenings with two programs per week. Until 1920, Martin Dröscher from Neukölln, Hermannstrasse 211, was the owner of the cinema. In 1921 August Beuth from Karlshorst, Gundelfingerstrasse 26 (from 1924 Waldowallee) replaced him as the owner. In 1917 the taproom, guest room and billiard room were added to the cinema area. The cinema theater was successfully operated in the popular part of Treptow. From 1932 the name "Filmpalast Baumschulenweg" came up and in 1938 the Zachers named the cinema as "Silvana". The cinema was expanded by Beuth to 491 seats in 1928, but there were only four game days for others. In 1930 the cinema entrepreneur Hermann Zacher (Eichwalde) took over the "Lichtspielhaus" and provided 421 seats for four days of film screenings. In 1931 the sound film facility was installed. In contrast to most of Berlin's sound film cinemas, this was made by Gaumont in 1931, but in 1932 a sound film equipment from Kinofilm is mentioned. Daily performances were also given again from 1932 onwards. There was a stage of 36 m². The indication of 800 seats in 1934 was more effective in advertising, especially since the stage size was mentioned as 40 m². At times, Grete Zacher probably ran the cinema again. In 1937 a renovation took place, whereby the interior was affected. The foyer in the front building now led through newly built boxes into the auditorium. After the renovation, 530 seats in the Silvana were entered in the cinema address book by Hermann and Grete Zacher and in 1940 an additional 545 seats. From 1940 Grete Zacher ran the cinema as owner from Karolinenhof, while Hermann Zacher was a businessman.

House 78, which was undamaged during the war, had a long left wing, and there is a gate to the courtyard. The Silvana Lichtspiele were continued as a private venue by Grete Zacher in the post-war years . The cinema was closed in June 1961. On the one hand, the falling number of visitors in the cinema crisis of the 1960s resulted in economic problems; a takeover of the private operation by the VEB Berliner Filmtheater was expressly rejected. The hall in the rear wing had become dilapidated and was demolished in the 1960s. The front building and part of the side wing were preserved. Despite the demolition permit, the rooms of the former cinema were retained. From 1979 the “Studio for Fine Arts” with a gallery was located in the front building. In the 2000s, the first floor of the four-story front building was used by a shop. A playground has been set up at the rear of the property. The building used by the cinema in the border house and courtyard is still there. In the front building there is the gate passage on the right and there is a shop on either side of the house entrance. The left handyman supplies still offer the view of the facade as in cinema times, the former boxes for the film advertising were shaped into shop windows and the shop entrance door has the same width and height as the cinema entrance.

Behind the yellow house 10 in the direction of Alter Markt is the facade of the new building from 2009

On February 14, 1889, the innkeeper and hotel owner August Klein opened the "Stadttheater Cöpenick" in Klein's hotel on the Alter Markt opposite Friedrich-Wilhelm-Platz (since 1947 Futranplatz). Theatrical performances were given priority, films were shown at times. From 1923 to 1924 it was preferred as a cinema. The city theater at Friedrichstrasse 6 offered seats for 500 spectators under the Arndt brothers. There were daily film screenings, and the cinema directory lists 545 seats for 1925. The owners of the "Lichtspiel" theater were Friedrich and Albert Artelt from Cöpenick (Friedrichstrasse 6) and Friedrich Schroeder from Friedenau (Handjerystrasse 64). At Friedrichstrasse 6, “Klein's Hotel Stadttheater” belonged to the hotel owner Hermann Otto in 1924 and was managed by businessman Walter Otto. Regular use as a cinema ended again in 1925.

In 1951 Friedrichstrasse was renamed Lüdersstrasse, the numbering change was the address of the Stadttheater Lüderstrasse 12/14. The theater building there was demolished due to dilapidation by 1956. The oldest theater in Berlin and the first boulevard theater in the capital moved to another venue. For example, the theater performed Zuckmayer's play “ Der Hauptmann von Köpenick ” in the festival hall of the town hall in Köpenick . On the long undeveloped area of ​​the demolished old theater, a three- / four-story residential building with shops on the first floor was built in Lüdersstrasse 14 with residential buildings 12, 14a – 14d in the same depth as the former theater building. The cinema location is thus built over.

Facade of the Union from 2011

In the central street of Friedrichshagen, the owner opened in 1913 in a dance hall built on the side in 1872: the Union Theater. On May 4, 2013, the cinema celebrated its 100th birthday. The dance hall in the community center, built as a separate building in 1872, was converted into a cinema during the First World War . This renovation was promoted because dances and concerts were forbidden during the war. The hall was entered through the community center, there were only windows facing the street and no entrance. A tier was added during the conversion to a cinema. In 1922 the entrance was rebuilt, making it independent of the restoration building. The wide double doors with the cinema name above led into anteroom with a cash desk. Due to complaints from the building inspectorate, boxes and raised rows of seats came into the hall. Back then as Friedrichstraße 69, the address was changed by renaming it to Bölschestraße in 1947, the venue remained one of the last traditional cinemas in Berlin and has been a listed building as part of the ensemble of Bölschestraße since 1995. The high hall and the tier, which was built in 1920, as well as the large open space in front of the stage give generosity with a clear spatial structure. The former carriage passage was closed in 1920 by an extension (the foyer). Georg Passow's cinematic theater was used daily, the number of (officially approved) seats specified in the cinema address book was between 300 and 400. The hall was enlarged with the renovation in 1920 by Peter Juncker. In 1925, 600 places were named, but only with performances on four days. For 1928 there are 528 seats in the cinema address book, daily performances and the owner Georg Passow named 1912 as the year the Union Theater was founded. In 1929 Curt Haupt and S. Liebling from Berlin-Wilmersdorf became owners and from 1931 Anton Nagel from Friedenau and Franz Dietrich from S 59.The latter installed the Kinoton facility in 1932 for playing sound films, daily performances, 550 seats, founded in 1912. In the mid-1930s Schmidt and Heinze from Friedrichshagen became the owners, from whom Gerhard Sophus Schmidt took over the Union Theater in 1938 and ran it until the end of the war. Bomb damage interrupted gaming operations during the World War.

In the post-war years, the Union Theater continued to operate “currently. im Gesellschaftshaus ”at Bölschestrasse 137. It is still given 1950 performances five days a week. After reopening in the early 1950s, a fire repeatedly destroyed parts of the property and it was repaired. The shortage of materials after the war and in the GDR can still be seen in many building details. In the course of the 1960s, the "Union-Film-Theater" was operated by Bölschestrasse 69. Like the other East Berlin cinemas, it was operated by the Berlin District Film Directorate. In 1990, in the year of political change, this was privatized with the included venues to BFD GmbH (Gleimstrasse 32–35 in 1058 Berlin). With the order from the Treuhand to sell the cinemas, Vollmann Filmtheaterbetriebe (14109 Berlin Schuchardtweg 9) became the owners of the "Union". In 1994 Wolfgang Lippert bought the cinema from the Treuhand and wanted to fulfill a childhood dream with it, but nothing came of the renovation plans. In September 1998 the union finally closed. In 2000, Lippert sold the house to real estate entrepreneur Klaus Zahn, who actually wanted to tear it down. Then the building contractor Bernd Paulke bought the cinema and there was another threat of demolition. But in 2003 the Union was reopened by today's operator Matthias Stütz, and in 2006 he bought the cinema at a foreclosure auction. The hall has 150 seats, 70 of them on the floor. The armchairs come from the “Hollywood” on Kurfürstendamm, which closed in 2003. In 2011 digital technology was purchased and the construction of two more cinema halls with 70 and 80 seats in the inner courtyard was planned. The two new cinemas opened on February 18, 2016. The seating comes from the reduced Spreewald light show in Lübben . The new hall was built behind the old hall and a studio cinema on the upper floor of the new building. In February 2016, the Berlinale was also a guest for one day in the Union with the “Berlinale goes Kietz”. The Union became a "three-screen movie theater".

  • Old hall from 1873: 123 + 40 seats, canvas: 5 m × 10 m
  • New hall on the ground floor: 87 seats, the screen with 3.7 m × 8.3 m, it is acoustically decoupled, night action films or loud events let the neighbors sleep peacefully.
  • Studio cinema: 65 seats, 2.5 m × 5.5 m large canvas wall, the basement room is not operated during the day, has a dance floor, a bar and three seating niches with 7 seats each.

In all three halls the sound is reproduced in Dolby Digital 5.1 , the film is shown digitally, in the old hall also in analog 35mm . All halls are acoustically decoupled from each other.

The foyer begins with the front door on the street and opens up all other rooms in the house. There is an eight meter long bistro counter with ten bar stools, 22 places to eat and the second foyer counter. In addition to cinema tickets, there are snacks that are common in the cinema, and the counter also functions as a bar at events. The concept of a coffee house cinema was implemented. The three cinema halls function as a cinema hall, but can also be used multifunctionally.

The first name of the cinema and also of the land owner of Bayernhof GmbH will (probably) have referred to an inn "Bayernhof" (common name for the special bar of the Munich Löwenbrauerei). In the cinema address book 1920, the Bayernhof-Lichtspiele by Walther Gröning from Berlin with the managing director F. Gollerow are listed, which stated 1919 as the year of establishment. There were daily performances with 350 seats for spectators. After there was no entry for 1921, Walter Feindt's Union Theater was listed with 550 seats and owned by Bayernhof GmbH in 1925 with 700 seats. Walter Feindt managed the cinema as the owner through Bayernhof GmbH. Bayernhof GmbH is a cinema operator and property owner and is still included in the branch section of the address books of the 1930s, owned by W. Feindt. Walter Feindt ran the cinema as the owner through his Vereinigte Lichtspiele Walter Feindt & Co., Kommanditges. one, the property in Rudower Straße remains assigned to Bayernhof GmbH (owner W. Feindt) as owner. The counting of the plots of the Rudower Straße leads to the fact that the plot 1 was numbered to Rudower Straße 2-4 (right side). There were 509 seats, daily performances, two program changes and the Union Theater had a stage of 10 m × 7 m. The sound film equipment from Klangfilm had been in place since 1931 and there was a mechanical music system . From the mid-1930s, the audience capacity was 691 (684 to 700 are also given). For 1935 the company "Walter Feindt Kino" is located at Köpenick Parrisiusstrasse 12/14.

The "Union Theater on Cöllnischer Platz" was destroyed in air raids . After the ruins on the western edge of Cöllnischer Platz had been cleared, there was initially fallow land on Rudower Straße 2/4 and Oberspreestraße, with Köllnischer Platz being expanded to the west. The property area of ​​the Union-Theater on Cöllnischen Platz is a parking lot. Köllnische Platz is on the west bank of the Dahme at the Long Bridge. On the west side of Köllnischer Platz, a bronze plaque refers to the architects' collective for the development of the square and the surrounding streets, which received the 1986 “Architecture Prize of the Capital of the GDR”.

In 1928 the “Urania Lichtspiele” was opened in the multi-party tenement of the innkeeper Otto Imberg, Wilhelminenhofstrasse 34. The house on the north side of the street opposite the industrial area also had two unequal side wings that were adapted to the neighboring houses. In the cinema owned by the owner “Winke & Co.” from Zernsdorf, there were daily screenings and 429 seats. The "Urania" was run by Max Berkhan. In 1930 the cinema owners "Sedlak & Heimann" bought this venue, for which they stated 500 seats in the cinema address book. The partners were the businessman Bernhard Heitmann from Berlin-Charlottenburg (Bretschneiderstraße 11) and the director Karl Sedlak as cinema operator. Both acquired and owned at the same time other cinemas in Mitte ("Filmpalast Börse", "Biograph", "Elite" and the "Union"), in Wilmersdorf ("Rote Mühle", "Ravioli"), the "Elysium" in Treptow , the “Fortuna” in Wedding and the Weißensee “Schlosspark-Lichtspiele”. Until 1931, silent films were accompanied by three musicians, and a cinema organ was also installed. The cinema is specified with 410 seats and there was an 8 m² stage. In 1932, Anna Hoffmann took over the Urania-Lichtspiele; she had a sound system installed so that the range of programs could be expanded to include sound films. The daily performances were retained. In 1934 the Schöneweider Lichtspiel-Theater GmbH became the owner of the “Universum-Lichtspiele”. This GmbH followed the two cinema entrepreneur Karl Koeppen and Atilla Sajo in 1936 with the UT-air theater operating company, with the letters referring to the UFA Theater = UT both the U Rania and the U niversum- T heater justice was.

House 34 and the cinema survived the air raids unscathed. Koeppen and Sajo led the UT light plays through the war years . For the post-war years , Erna Sedlak was the subsequent owner, who privately managed UT-Lichtspiele until the 1950s. With the nationalization of the cultural business during the development of socialism , this East Berlin cinema was also incorporated as an operational part of the VEB Berlin Film Theater. The change in structure led to the transformation of the “state-owned company” into the Berlin district film directorate. In this constellation, the cinema was kept state-of-the-art and the UT still had a capacity for over 200 viewers with three screenings a day. With the political turning point in 1990, the Berlin District Film Directorate was transformed into a private-law “BFD GmbH” and all of the still existing East Berlin cinemas, including the “UT in Wilhelminenhofstrasse”, were owned and operated. In 1991, the BFD GmbH sold suitable film theaters to interested parties according to their order (through the Treuhandanstalt). The UT was bought by BELI Filmtheater Betriebsgesellschaft mbH, based in Weißensee Prenzlauer Promenade 6–8. The latter operated concept cinemas such as the “Intimes” in Friedrichshain and the Volkshaus in Lichtenberg. The purchase of the Oberschöneweider location may not have paid off because the cinema was closed in 1992. The current subsequent user of the rooms was a drugstore. The “Triathlon Addiction Aid Project” from the Märkisches Sozial- und Bildungswerk e. V. The three-storey residential building has been renovated and reconstructed and corresponds to the cinema location in terms of facade and floor space, and the uneven side buildings still exist.

The address given for 1920 is Grünauer Strasse 31. According to the horseshoe numbering that still existed around 1920, this property in Köpenick was north of the drying area on Vollkropfgraben. Richard Mörtsch from Berlin Schleswiges Ufer 10 and Dr. Beck from Berlin Lindenstrasse 104 stated. The connection between the name of the cinema and the League of Nations (probably) refers to 1919 as the start of the Lichtspiele. The area of ​​the current development corresponds to the situation in 1920; buildings in the courtyard would probably have been considered for a cinema.

The cinema was located in the corner building Siemensstrasse 18 (to Edisonstrasse 51) opposite the confluence of the Greek avenue. In 1905 the innkeeper Graul is the house owner of Siemensstrasse 18 with two stairways and 16 tenants. The year 1907 was entered in the cinema address book for the opening of the cinematograph theater in the independent industrial community of Oberschöneweide in the Niederbarnim district , and in some cases 1906 was also noted. As was customary at the time, the film screenings initially took place in the inn. In 1917, Max Reichelt, the house owner, is also the owner of the W.-B.-T.-Lichtspiele in Siemensstrasse, the abbreviation goes back to the initial name "Welt-Biograph-Theater". Played every day except on Thursdays; the cinema was closed in June and July. The program was changed on Friday and Tuesday. The admission prices were between 0.40 and 1.00 marks. The cinema had a capacity for 400 viewers. In 1919, the owner of the cinema, Albert Köhler, was the tenant of the house; until now the tenants were only innkeepers. In 1920 Eduard Franke is the owner of the "Welt-Biograph-Lichtspiele" and it was played every day. Fritz Seeger from Lichtenberg and his tenant Stumpe & Co. from Berlin followed as owner of the cinema in 1921, they offered 272 seats. After the inflation, from 1924 Johann Hoffmann became the permanent owner of the "WBT" with 272 seats, daily performance and two programs per week. He again mentions 1907 as the year of foundation and a podium of 5 m × 1.60 m, later a stage of 9 m². Four to five cinema musicians were employed for the acoustic background music for silent films. In 1932 the sound film equipment was installed by Kinoton ("WBT-Lichtspiele"). In 1934, it was probably expanded, and Johann Hoffmann entered 510 seats in the cinema address book, the following year 449. The cinemas were never damaged in the air raids , which ended the cinema. The war damage to the (simple) old buildings was repaired, the facade and floor plan remained unchanged - except for the shortening of the residential building at Edisonstrasse 51. At the address there is still a four-storey residential building with three floors and shops on the ground floor, Siemensstrasse 18a and 18b. The residential building in the row from Edisonstrasse to Siemensstrasse was renovated at the beginning of the 2010s (compare Google earth 2008) and probably also renovated.

Excursion restaurants - location of the Hasselwerder

The "Wilhelminenhof" was an excursion restaurant on the northern bank of the Spree, west of Laufener Strasse. In 1814 the Secret Finance Councilor Reinbeck acquired the former "Quappenkrug" and expanded it to look like a castle. Surrounded by a park, he named it - as usual - after the first name of his wife Wilhelmine. The shelf was at the end of Laufener Strasse (on Kaisersteg). From the 1890s onwards, industrial companies moved to the Wilhelminenhof restaurant with the connection of transports across the Spree. In particular, the AEG transformer plant was built near Schloßparkstrasse . The land on Schloßparkstrasse became attractive building land thanks to the industrial facilities. In 1919 the “Lichtspiel-Theater Wilhelminenhof” (Wilhelminenhof-Lichtspiele) was opened on the site of Schloßparkstraße 9. In the commercial part of Ober-Schöneweide, the property up to the Spree was named under cinematographic ideas in 1919 and Schötensack in 1920 with the address Schloßparkstraße 9. In 1921 the property owner Schloßparkstrasse 9, the AEG factory, and among others the businessman F. Rohmann and the innkeeper Krause are listed. The Wilhelminenhof light plays had daily performances and are specified with 650 to 600 seats. The cinema address book names Alfred Rath as the owner for 1921 and the Wilhelminenhof light plays were listed until 1927, but then under Schloßparkstraße 7. The cinema screenings were (probably) stopped because of the overbuilding or conversion of the property for the industrial buildings of the property owner AEG .

The Schloßparkstrasse , which initially led to Schloßpark Wilhelminenhof , was named Reinbeckstrasse in May 1938, the street was built over 100 meters, the remaining 150 meters to the Spree had become an industrial site. Incidentally, Oberschöneweide belonged to the Treptow administrative district until 1938, then to the Köpenick administrative district. There are factory buildings on the site of the cinema, in particular Reinbeckstrasse 9 with workshops, the buildings on Reinbeckstrasse in front of the industrial border are residential buildings on the east side, 4–8 (straight) are public buildings.

Remarks

  • The Berlin address books are named according to the year of issue, since the editorial deadline for the supplements is given around the turn of the year up to January, the year information relates to the year preceding the issue. In the above text or in the comments, the numbers (#) in the digital.zlb.de directory may be given after the year in the Berlin address book. The entry “construction site” in the address book does not indicate the current construction site, but rather existing construction land. In some years of the address book, only residents are recorded in the street section, but not rented companies. Companies registered by commercial courts are marked in Latin / bold letters in the residents' area.
  • The data for the city of Cöpenick are not included in the Berlin address book. For the administrative district of Cöpenick (in Greater Berlin), entries begin with the year 1922.
  • Changed previous street names are given in italics to distinguish them from existing ones.
  1. Matthias Stütz, who had just moved to Friedrichshagen and completed his degree in architecture, took over the dilapidated, unused cinema. His interest in the art of film and the connection to the said citizens' initiative led him to consider reopening the cinema. In May 2003, the owner of the property signed a lease with Matthias Stütz. The renovation work that was necessary in order to be able to use the cinema again was offset against the upcoming rent. The total investment was over 110,000 euros. In December 2003 Matthias Stütz started cinema operations in order to test the sustainability of the population's desire for a movie theater. With the new and proven concept of mixed use, in addition to the cinema operation, also hold events of all kinds, the occupancy rate of the house improved. Matthias Stütz is now the owner and managing director of the UNION cinema, which he bought at auction in 2006, and has pushed the renovation and expansion of the cinema step by step to the present day. In May 2007 the cinema was painted in a burgundy red color.
