Memorial plaque in the house, Thielallee 36, in Berlin-Dahlem

The cinema is located in Thielalle near the Freie Universität (FU) campus . The villa served the President of the Reichsfilmkammer Carl Froelich as an official residence and apartment from 1939. He had a film projection room added to his villa so that he could view film productions. In 1945 a bomb hit destroyed large parts of the house. During the reconstruction, the projection room was enlarged to a public cinema, which achieved cult status in the following years.

In the mid-1950s, Gerhard Klein took over the cinema and regularly organized a literary podium with readings and lectures by well-known actors such as Curt Bois , Helmut Qualtinger , Gisela May or Martin Held . The Eddie Constantine Nights for FU students are also unforgettable . The Capitol is among the filmkunst dominated cinemas the first hour.

On November 14, 2019, a memorial plaque for Gerhard Klein was unveiled in the Dahlem Capitol.

Outpost

( Location )

Clay avenue 135 1953-1994
Outpost Clayallee
After the Americans returned the Onkel Tom cinema, which had been confiscated in 1945, in 1953, a new cinema was built on Clayallee under the direction of the American architect Arnold Blauvelt. It also had a small orchestra pit, a stage and 900 seats. The cinema got its name in the course of a naming competition. The powerful architecture of the movie theater, which is intended exclusively for American military personnel, clearly reveals a piece of American self-confidence in Europe; just an outpost - an "outpost" - in the front line city of the Cold War .

On February 6, 1953, the Outpost Theater on Clayallee was opened with the Western film The Iron Mistress (English title: Under the spell of the devil ). On June 30, 1994 at 7 p.m. the last film was The Paper (German title: Headlines ) with Glenn Close and Michael Keaton . The Allied Museum opened in September 1994 . The building is a listed monument.
