Hermann-Hesse-Strasse  11 since 1933
Cinema entrance 1986
In 1870 there was a restaurant with a dance hall on the property at Bismarkstrasse 44 . From 1918 the first cinema films were shown in the hall. The cinema was named "Bismarck-Lichtspiele", after the street's name at the time. The address was accordingly Bismarkstrasse 44 . The cinema theater with 350 seats belonged to B. Schott and offered daily film screenings. In 1921 Viktor Hermann took over the cinema, but went bankrupt during the inflationary period . In the cinema directory from 1924, the Bismarck-Lichtspiele are entered as "currently closed", from 1925 to 1934 it is no longer included as "cinema". Innkeeper Thiele is still the house owner and the bank clerk F. Thiele and the bank manager G. Tinius are residents. In 1933 the dance hall was converted into a cinema with a stage for sound film screenings. As early as 1935, the name “Blue Star” was given for the 380-seat cinema. The owner Hermann Korth (managing director was August Nowakowski) stated 1933 as the year the sound film theater “Blauer Stern” was founded. The venue had 372 seats and was played daily. In 1938, August Nowakowski was managing director and co-owner of the “Bismarck Theater”. The house with the cinema was almost spared during the air raids and so cinema operations continued in the post-war years . It was directed by Hermann Korth and Erwin Erdmann under the name "Blauer-Stern-Lichtspiele", three performances were played daily, the stage is given as 5 m × 4 m × 4 m. 1957 still privately operated with the new address Kurt-Fischer-Straße 11 . From 1960 the VEB Berliner Filmtheater is the operator of the "Blue Star". In 1986 the Blue Star was closed due to dilapidation. There was a fresh start for the film theater in 1996 when Uwe Feld signed a lease with Wohnbau Pankow, now signed for the cinema at the same location. It reopened in December 1996 with two halls. The project to set up a restaurant failed because of the high costs. The cinema is owned by FT Blauer Stern GbR. The screenings take place in cinema 1 with 30 m² and 205 seats and in cinema 2 with 85 seats. The building with the cinema is on the south side of the street between Kreuzgraben and Güllweg.

Blankenburger Strasse  10 1918-1964 The shop cinema in the center of Niederschönhausen was opened in 1918 by J. C. Ludwig Pfeffer with 360 seats as "Adler-Lichtspiele" ("A.Li.S."). In the cinema address book (later) the founding year 1914, 1918 and 1919 is alternately named. The address is initially Blankenburgerstraße 4 in the cinema address book. This is the last of the adjoining houses on Friedensplatz / Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße (previously Dorfplatz and Dorfstraße, since 1948 Ossietzkyplatz, since 1951 Dietzgenstraße). In 1921 Fritz Steinmetz took over the cinema as the "Film-Palast" with 400 seats, followed in 1924 by Ernst Krischai, who gave 318 seats (in 1925 again 400 seats) for the Film Palast. In 1928 and 1929 F. Sommer and H. Betzel ran the cinema and offered 366 screenings every day. In 1930 and 1931 they equipped the Film-Palast for sound films and built a stage measuring 3 m × 4 m. So the space available again gave 360 ​​seats. With the conversion of Blankenburger Straße from horseshoe to reciprocal numbering, the cinema was given the number 10 in 1937. In addition, the "Lichtspielbetriebe Palast-Theater, Pankow-Niederschönhausen" took over that year and Franz Sommer was its managing director until 1941. The building remained undamaged in the Second World War and cinema operations continued throughout. There were three performances a day. Franz and Gertrud Sommer remained (in East Berlin ) the owners of the film theater and Heinz Schwarz managed the company. In 1950 the Film-Palast was expanded, the technology was renewed and the stage was enlarged. The private "Filmpalast" was continued from 1960 as "Film-Palast Niederschönhausen" by the VEB Berliner Filmtheater. Finally, the cinema was closed in 1964. The cinema was converted into a shop and, after the renovation of the two-storey residential / commercial building, was used by a master craftsman in the roller shutter and sun protection technician trade.

Georg Kusche and the year 1922 are shown in the memory of the contemporary witness. In the cinema directory of 1918, owner D. Klaß named his light games with 600 seats. In 1920 and 1921, however, the owner Kühl named 500 seats for his universal light games with daily films. After the inflation , Leopold Horch, Neiß & Kiwit reopened the Universal-Lichtspiele Reinickendorf. The “Universum Theater and Cabaret” in Reinickendorf-Schönholz was run under the direction of Anthony F. Hope and F. Hopmann in Provinzstrasse 75/76 with daily programs on 580 seats.

Wilhelm Matthes was the owner from 1937 and he played the Universum-Lichtspiele until the post-war years, depending on the local situation in the Soviet sector and thus in East Berlin as "Universum Schönholz" with a capacity of 474 seats. From 1960 (as is usual in East Berlin) the administration, design and programming of the Universum went to the VEB Berliner Filmtheater. The cinema in Schönholz was 150 meters from the sector border in the east and thus ended up in the area of ​​the Berlin Wall and the restricted area of ​​August 1961. The cinema was closed and the buildings were subsequently demolished to make room for the 100-meter-wide death strip from the railway line.
