List of cinemas in Berlin-Pankow
The list of cinemas in Berlin-Pankow gives an overview of all cinemas that existed or still exist in the Berlin district of Pankow - as it was created with the administrative reform in 2001. 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 rural community of Pankow was a middle-class suburb of Berlin and developed into a local recreation area in Berlin. The garden house of the “Feldschlösschen”, in which the Skladanowsky brothers presented their first films, became important for German cinema history . The Tivoli developed from this as a permanent venue . The first shop cinema was built in 1910 in a restaurant on Florastrasse, which existed until the 1960s. This was followed in the 1910s by other cinematograph theaters and in the 1920s by the elegant Palast Theater , which was completely destroyed in the war years . At the end of the 1960s, the still privately operated cinemas became the district administration for movie theaters. Some of them have become dilapidated and some cinemas are being closed due to the (general) decline in visitor numbers ( cinema crisis ). A new cinema building, which was to be built on the site of the historic Tivoli in the mid-1990s, fell victim to the condominium-oriented building planning in the district. The district has no existing cinemas.

Palace theater
( Location ) |
Broad Street 21a | 1919-1948 | Breite Straße is the center of Pankow, once a promenade with town houses. In 1918 the building at Breiten Straße 21a was located opposite the Mühlenstraße estuary at the western end of Pankower Angers. In 1915 the owner was A. Ringel and the owner was the innkeeper B. Beyer, who at that time was running the Bellevue restaurant on this property. In 1919 this property was under compulsory administration by the trade and merchant's court for the welfare of war disabled persons and the war kitchen V. In the trade section of the address book 1920, Breite Straße 21a is noted for the first time for cinematographic presentations by P. Kranz and in the street section are the chamber light games called. “In July 1919, the 2250 square meter plot of land was acquired by the movie theater owner and current reindeer Paul Kranz from Niederschönhausen, who also converted rooms here into a cinema, which was the most modern in Pankow at the time, and opened it on January 1st, 1920. He leased the cinema [1936]. The western part of the property is intended for a possible road breakthrough (extension of Mühlenstraße). ”(Quote from 1936) In 1921, the theater owner Paul Kranz is the owner of No. 21a and the user and resident of the theater owner E. Wedekindt. Paul Kranz's Palast-Theater with 755 seats and daily performances is listed in the 1920 Kino-Adressbuch at Breiten Straße 21a . From 1921 Johann Köhnen (Niederschönhausen, Podbielskistraße) was the owner and stated 1919 as the year of foundation. The capacity was between 650 and 674 seats with daily performances, programs changed on Tuesday and Friday. The stage of the palace theater was 8 m × 4 m. From 1924 E. Wedekindt (SO 16, Milchaelkirchstraße 25) and Bernhard Schott from Niederschönhausen are co-owners, from 1929 E. Wedekindt (SW 61, Hornstraße 12) was the owner. He left in 1931 to the cinema of the silent film talkies convert. In 1932 the “Palast-Theater Pankow GmbH” acquired the cinema; whose business Fritz Jacubowitsch (Berlin-Charlottenburg, Kaiserdamm 58) ran until 1936. In the cinema directory of 1937, the year the cinema opened is 1918. The owner changed to Max Handke, Kurt Neumann and Franz Sommer in 1937. In the following year 1938 it was the "Lichtspielbetriebe Niederschönhausen" with the managing director Franz Sommer. The building was destroyed in an air raid on Pankow, which ended cinema operations. According to other sources, performances in the hall were still poorly given until 1948. The ruins were cleared by 1950, leaving open space on the property at Breite Straße 20, 21, 21a. Until the early 1980s there was a parking lot on it that gave way to a shopping center. The “Rathaus-Center Pankow” was built on its property around 2000, with neighboring properties being included. |
Roland light plays
( Location ) |
Wollankstrasse 113 | 1915-1922 |
The “Hotel Roland” was the only place to stay in Pankow at Wollankstrasse 113. The inn "Zum Wollank" had been in operation since 1873, at the instigation of the Wollank family in Pankow on the grounds that "the Wollanks were not drinkers", this had to be changed to "Zum Roland". “The Roland is the traditional practice and festival venue of the Pankow song quartet 1911, which also holds its festivities there. […] In 1919 the Roland hall was used as a movie theater. ”(1936) In the hotel hall - as was common at the time - a movie theater was set up for some time. In 1918, A. Böttger owned the Roland-Lichtspiele with 250 seats. The cinema was used daily, from 1920 Heinrich Glaab is the owner of the hotel and thus also of the cinema. He had 1917 entered in the cinema address book as the year of foundation. After the end of the cinema screenings, Heinrich Glaab managed his hotel until it was destroyed in bombing during World War II . The ruined property remained as a commercial area until it was built in 1997 with an unadorned adapted residential building next to the reconstructed town house 114 and the simple gap building 112. |

Tivoli Pankower Theater ( Location ) |
Berliner Strasse 27 | 1895-1994 | Shortly after production in July 1895, the Skladanowsky brothers from Pankow presented their first films with the bioscope in the ballroom of the “Feldschlößchen” restaurant before they appeared in the winter garden . The "Pankower Lichtspiele" by David Heimann established itself in Berliner Straße 27 with daily games on 370 seats. In 1920 Willi Ihbe became the owner and gave 450 places. After the years of inflation, Ignaz Werner and Mull took over the venue in 1924 and had the building demolished. In 1925 it was replaced by a new movie theater with more seats according to plans by the architects Walter Erdmann and Reinhold Lest. In 1928 the cinema was named Tivoli owned by Tivoli Ges. MbH, the cinema hall is included in the cinema address book with 820 seats. The founding year was 1927, and in 1931 the sound film was equipped with the technology of Tobis-Klangfilm. The cinema owner becomes Karl Werner from Berlin-Pankow in 1932. In 1937 the owner changed to Ernst Metzger and Emil Backhaus, whose business was run by P. Heine. The Tivoli survived the air raids undamaged and the operation of the Tivoli-Lichtspiele Pankow continued in the post-war years . In 1957 the "Tivoli-Theater Film-Bühne Variete" was built in the cinema. During the renovation in 1960, elements of the pre-war substance were replaced, the carrier of the cinema became the VEB Berliner Filmtheater, which was opened up through internal restructuring in the Berlin district film directorate. In 1990 this GDR institution went through privatization into the company "BFD Berlin" (Gleimstrasse 32–35, 1058 Berlin), with 343 seats available for the cinema. 1993 takes over the "Tivoli Kino Stadler-Karcher GbR" (Kino 66 in 10623 Berlin, Bleibtreustr. 12) and creates two venues: Tivoli 1 with 343 seats and Tivoli 2 with 55 seats. The cinema is closed in 1994. Despite several attempts to preserve the cinema, these failed in the year of the “100. Anniversary of the first screening of a film ”. Property 27/28 was taken over by a real estate agent and the existing building was demolished in 2003 and a low-rise building was built for a discount supermarket. The lettering "1895 BIOSKOP 1995" is embedded as a mosaic in the former entrance area . |

A building that tells the viewer about the end of the post-war hardship and presents cosmopolitanism, for decades almost in the direct shadow of the Berlin Wall. Today the movie theater can hardly be recognized. With the puppet show "The Little Muck" based on the fairy tale by W. Hauff, the Berlin Puppet Theater opens its theater on May 7, 1965 at 3:30 pm in the former Odeum film theater in Berlin-Pankow. The establishment of this theater had been decided by the GDR magistrate. After the fall of the Wall, this building became a dance & cocktail bar. Source: facebook.
