Since 1933 it was called the Capitol . In 1934, the family of the (later) actor Hardy Krüger moved into the house next door to the cinema, which, according to him, had a significant impact on his way into the film industry. At the end of the Second World War , the cinema closed its doors. In 1949 the operator resumed the film screenings at the old location, which can be deduced from the continued use of the name Capitol . In the following year, the company moved to Prinzenstrasse 45 (renamed Prignitzstrasse in 1951 with subsequent renumbering of the parcels), and the title Battle for Gold - Der goldene See was displayed for the reopening . In 1952 the demonstration facility was named Bio. The cinema was closed in August 1986.

Soyuz ( Location )	Marzahn, Helene-Weigel-Platz 12	1981-2007	The cinema, the cornerstone of which was laid in 1980, opened on May 29, 1981. It was erected in an eleven month construction period by the general contractor Bau- und Montagekombinat Ingenieurhochbau Berlin . The project managers were Wolf-Rüdiger Eisentraut and Dietrich Kabisch. The building is 31 m long, 18 m wide and 10 m high. For the exterior design, artificial stone and split clinker were used. The foyer area was equipped with an aluminum-glass facade. In the air-conditioned movie theater with 320 seats films were from normal to Total Vision format are listed. The entry price was 1.85 m for all seats  . After the fall of the Wall , the UFA took over the Soyuz in October 1992 and added two halls to it in 1995: the foyer of the cinema was converted into Hall 2 with 120 seats, and Hall 3 was created from a storage room in the basement. The facility initially had to close in 1999 due to financial problems, including the nearby cinema in Le Prom . But for a short time the Kino, Kino! Entertainment GmbH created the film theater, which had films played in the halls for little entrance fee. When a new owner of the building was found in 2007, the cinema operator was given notice and closed with the last screening of the film Prinzessinnenbad . The district office then provided temporary protection for the building against vandalism, but also developed ideas for a new use of the house. Committed citizens shared their ideas with a newspaper: “A cinema room for experimental films is to be preserved. We want to create a place for young and old, with a senior tea and children's disco. ”For a renovation and redesign of the Soyuz, a lot of donations are still needed (as of summer 2016). The cinema was to be demolished in early 2017 and a supermarket and senior-friendly apartments were to be built on the property by the end of 2018. The planned demolition was delayed due to further property entries in the land register , the investor is sticking to his plans. In the meantime, demolition is planned for late 2018 or early 2019.

In 2005 the Eastgate Berlin shopping center opened in the immediate vicinity . Therefore the cinema changed its name. It has eight cinema halls with 1650 seats.
Volks-Lichtspiele ( Location )	Kaulsdorf, Alt-Kaulsdorf 15	after 1945–1963	The building was built around 1935, presumably as an additional hall for the neighboring Dorfkrug in house number 13.
