introduction

Up until the middle of the 19th century, the agricultural north within the Weichbild boundaries of Berlin developed into a densely populated working-class district, and beer gardens turned into amusement facilities on brewery grounds. With the emergence of the Kintöppe , from 1907 shop cinemas with beer buffets settled along the arterial roads . The shopping and entertainment mile of Schönhauser Allee, Prenzlauer Allee and Neue Königs- / Greifswalder Straße. The shop cinema was often built into the ground floor of new rental houses, while others were opened in poorly functioning and crooked restaurants. Towards the 1930s, demands increased, independent cinemas were built for the movie theaters and the necessary conversion to sound film technology led to renovations in the shop cinemas. Small cinemas go into the hands of cinema entrepreneurs. Change of ownership in the northern and eastern suburbs, after 1920 the administrative districts took place more frequently than in the west ( Charlottenburg , Schöneberg , Wilmersdorf ). The smaller successful cinemas included: Mila , Skala , Roxy and Schauburg am Arnimplatz . Around 1930 there were seven “cinema palaces” in the district, at that time the inner city district of Prenzlauer Berg: UFA-Palast Königstadt , Prater , Filmpalast Puhlmann , Märchenbrunnen , plus the Colosseum , the FaF (Filmtheater am Friedrichshain) and the Elysium .

The period of inflation and the economic crash of 1929 were reflected in the changes in ownership of some cinemas. The cinemas in those houses spared in the air raids were still operated (mostly privately) until the end of the 1950s. The VEB Berliner Filmtheater (later structured as a district film directorate) continued some. The larger cinemas renovated in the 1950s remained. The Colosseum, which was used by the Metropol Theater in the immediate post-war period , became, after its reconstruction, from 1957 onwards for a time the DEFA premiere cinema. After the political change in 1990, cinema activists took the opportunity and opened new concept cinemas in the district , some of them at previous cinema locations . Cinema tradition or monument editions (FaF, Colosseum) probably protect some locations or concepts such as the venue in the Zeiss Planetarium lead to securing the necessary number of visitors.

This technique was developed by Oskar Messter and first used in the Kreuzberg Apollo Theater in 1903 . In 1907 Heinrich Klingenberg was registered as the owner of the cinematograph, and in the following year he (probably) moved.

The two cinemas were set up in 1994 on the ground floor of a factory building on a commercial yard by the former operator of the Weddinger "Eisenstein" and opened in 1995 as a cinematic cinema after a delay due to a lack of an operating permit . The cinema was on the ground floor of the backyard, behind a long window front of the bright brick building was the foyer. The cinema architecture retained elements of previous use. The name " Blow Up " came from the title of the favorite film of the operator at the time, Frank Zilm. He had to give up operations in June 2004 and the Reischel couple began as managing directors with 'Progress Filmverleih' as ​​program managers. Unsatisfied with the selection of films, the Reischels ended their collaboration in September 2005.

In the end, it was only played on a few days of the week, with Dolby Surround sound in two halls (room 1 in dark red had 99 seats and room 2 in dark blue 89 seats). The Blow Up was probably closed in 2010 due to lower visitor numbers, and there were also construction projects for the open space (storage space) in the Karree Greifswalder / Immanuelkirch- / Wins- / Heinrich-Roller Straße.

An in-house cinema founded in 1906 is not documented in this way. The opening year results from the details of later owners in the cinema address book. The address book indicates a new building for rentier Müller from Charlottenburg in 1909, this entry again coincides with the illustration on the Straubeplan from 1910. This is followed by E. Beierling as operator of the cinematograph theater in the house in 1910, with 300 at the beginning and about later 130 seats and a 15 m² stage. The cinema rooms were (probably) planned with the new building. After Emma Beierling, August Beierling was noted in the address book for the cinematograph theater from 1912, while the dairy shop was moved to NO 55. The cinema name (which probably existed when it opened) was mentioned in the cinema address book in 1918 by Emma Beierling as a “cosmopolitan biographer”. This name refers to the silent film technology of biophony . The silent film was supplemented by sound reproduction from a gramophone . The stated visitor capacity of 300 meant (probably) standing room. Arthur Breitling is listed in the address book as an invalid after the war . When August Jura became the owner in 1920, he registered 120 to 130 (officially confirmed) places, as did his successors. There were daily performances and a 15 m² stage. During the period of inflation , the cinema was (probably) shut down before the new owner Robert Hellriegel had reopened the cinema as an "elite theater" in 1924. Arthur Lutze ran his business. The following cinema owners were: 1925 Olga Heyder, 1928 Rosa Blond and 1929 Hans Crzellitzer. Walter Kirsch from Pankow took over the cinema from the latter in 1930 and called it "Tempo-Lichtspiele" with 125 seats, a 15 m² stage and daily performances, but gave up in 1931 at the latest, whereby the businessman Walter Kirsch was no longer mentioned in the Berlin address book has been.

The owner was Elysium-Lichtspiele GmbH with the managing director Georg Pinetta. In 1932 the company name changes to "Lichtspiele Prenzlauer Allee GmbH" under Pinette as owner and from 1937 Anna Haushalter became its managing director. Pinetta used the superfluous cross aisle for more seats, but the former managing director Sommerfeld referred to the lack of building permit and tax evasion due to too many tickets. Pinetta led the cinema through the crisis of the 1930s with singing games and lectures without permission . In 1936 he sold the movie theater. The cinema was still mentioned in the telephone directory around 1941 (Tel .: 534651). The cinema was closed in 1942 due to damage in the air raids.

In the course of 1925, the actress Erra Bognar became the owner of the cinema and gave the venue its name: "Erra-Kino". The cinema with 210 seats was again used daily. In Berlin in the 1920s it was not uncommon in other cinemas for film actors to advertise their own films in cinemas with their earnings and their names. The commercial management then had commissioned offices. The cinema entrepreneurs Johanna Popoff & Jakob Lopatin are explicitly named as the owners and operators of the “Erra-Lichtspiele” from 1927 in the cinema address book. They operated and owned this cinema at least until the end of the war in 1945. The silent films were accompanied by two cinema musicians, then by a cinema organ.

Alfred Schlagk also worked as a photographer with the apartment in the rear building. Hawcyjuritsch, Curt Reiss, Hinz & Großmann, and D. Beil-Winkler for 1927 to 1931 were entered as owners in the cinema address book. The Berlin address book kept Rudolf Olitsch in 1925 for Lichtspiele, Willi Hinz in 1926, and Beil-Winkler in 1927. In 1930 the cinema was rebuilt by C. G. Lischka, and Dr. Immanuel Gruber for the operator's film stage. and since 1932 the sound film screening had become possible with the establishment of "Erco-Lichtton". As a result, under the owner Hans Schultz, the number of seats in the film stage fell from 176 to 160. Richard Ketzscher became the owner of the cinema in 1933. By 1935 at the latest, the “Filmbühne” stopped playing.

Before the changeover to reciprocal numbering in 1913, the address was Raumerstraße 24. The owner of the Lichtspiele was August Stoll, and other shareholders were partly and temporarily involved in the cinema ownership. In 1912 Koschinska also owned the Volks-Kinotheater and in 1911 Stoll had his inn (without cinema) on the ground floor at Swinemünder Strasse 81. In 1911 Fellbaum ran an inn in Raumerstrasse 24. There were also other cinemas near Helmholtzplatz: Casino-Kino , Libelle and Kino Nord . August Stoll had his apartment in 1913 on the 2nd floor of Lortzingstrasse 18, then Swinemünder 40.

The cinema is one of those in the north-east of Berlin that was also known as the slipper cinema. The buildings in the area around Helmholtzplatz, which gave the cinema its name, were spared significant war damage, so in the early post-war years August Stoll was able to continue operating the cinema with 319 seats until 1952. The rooms in the house in the old building area are currently used by a restaurant. A division into Raumerstraße 14 and 14a did not exist until 1970, rather they were run as the first and second stairs in the Berlin way. It is therefore obvious, but not proven, that the cinema was in the existing guest rooms. (Edeka branch)

Odyssey in the planetarium ( Location )	Prenzlauer Allee  80	1991-1999	The cinema was located in the Zeiss large planetarium , which is in the parking strip (extending Thälmann Park) between the district office and the S-Bahn. The planetarium opened in 1987. From 1991 to 1999, a cinema was operated with Odyssee Filmtheater Betriebs GmbH in an air-conditioned hall with around 160 seats in the basement of the building. Initially, the project was implemented by Knuth Steenwerth and Georg Kloster and was called "Odyssey". From 1993 it was taken over by Yorck Kino GmbH (10789 Berlin, Rankestrasse 31) under the same name and operated the film screenings until April 1999. Only irregular screenings followed, like for the Spatzenkino. After 2006, the “SciFi cinema in the planetarium” was operated in the same (cinema) room. These performances were discontinued in 2008. The planetarium was closed in 2014 for extensive reconstruction and renovation work. After that, the cinema hall as part of the science theater is to be put back into operation in a classic modern way with new 3D cinema projection and 7.2 surround sound. After the opening in July 2016, mainly 3D film screenings will be offered as part of the "Science Theater" in the cinema.
Prater-Lichtspiele ---- DEFA-Filmtheater Panorama ( Location )	Kastanienallee  7–9	1914-1965	The Prater was built in 1837 to serve beer and is the oldest beer garden in Berlin. The Kalbo family acquired the establishment in 1852 and expanded it into a leisure and entertainment restaurant. The first "cinematographic presentations" took place on March 5th and 6th, 1903. In 1905 the architect Kamerow expanded with a hall building in which events such as theater and film performances took place. The theater director at that time Arthur Rannow was also responsible for the cinema. Performances have been held regularly since 1914. In 1914 the Prater-Lichtspiele were set up with seating for 600 (from 1920 with 800 seats). Rannow & Asmus is named as the owner of the film venue, including Arthur Rannow (later his widow) as the owner and Carl Aßmuß as the managing director, the Prater as a whole ran under the theater license of Martha Kalbo . With two program changes per week, there were daily cinema screenings. The stage was 7.5 m, 10 m wide and 7 m deep, and there was a two-meter porch. In 1929 Walter Treder created the still existing front building with entrance and foyer. In 1930 Nicolaus Olah, Martin Behr and Heinrich Graf (managing director Erich Zocher) were named as joint owners, and in the following year Martin Behr, Fritz Jacubowitsch and Ms. Adele Graf were named. From 1930 onwards, Kinoton technology and cinema organs are specified in the cinema directory for presentations of sound film . 1932 acquired the Berlin-Cinema mode GmbH as a farmer-general "Berliner Prater", which had been performed previously by family Kalbo, and thus the Prater Light Games. From 1937 Paul Reinecker, Fritz Kuske and Hans Reinelt are listed as cinema owners. The Prater-Lichtspiele are mentioned in the telephone book around 1941 (45 28 52). The Prater survived the bombing raids in World War II . In 1946 the Berlin Volksbühne moved in as a replacement for its venue. In 1949 the "DEFA-Filmtheater Kastanienallee" was opened, which was operated by the VEB Berliner Filmtheater. In June 1965 it was converted to Totalvision and the cinema became the cinematic art theater "Panorama". In 1967 the district culture center “Prater” was established and the cinema in the Prater ended, the film art theater moved to the plaza in Rüdersdorfer Straße 4/5. After the political change , the district culture house was closed in 1990, a brewery took over the management, in 1991 the Prater was closed by the district office. In 1994 the Senate returned responsibility to the district and passed it on to the Volksbühne. This has been operating the second venue since 1992. In 1995 the beer garden reopened, a cinema never returned.
Reform light games ( Location )	Landsberger Allee  93	1908-1931	The cinema was located in the 24-party tenement building on the corner of Thorner Strasse (since 1974: Conrad-Blenkle-Strasse; 1910: 24 tenants). Due to the renaming of the street to Leninallee and the subsequent renaming, the plot numbering was changed so that house number 128 became today's number 93. The block of flats is located on the edge of the Prenzlauer Berg district to the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district. The 15 meter wide five-storey building with the transverse building on one side still exists and has shops on the ground floor. The cinema was probably purely a shop cinema ; the number of seats was comparatively small at 120. Alfred Stabernack was listed in the address book for the Cinematographen Theater in 1912. From 1912 to 1914 the “Reform Theater” was explicitly included in House 128. In 1915, the owner of the cinema, Carl Kappke, entered Landsberger Allee 128 with an apartment and a cinema. The trader Carl Kappke had previously lived in N20 at Drontheimer Strasse 14, rear building, 2nd floor, since 1909. Kappke was entered in the cinema directory for the following years as the owner of the Reform Theater (probably until 1925). The venue continued to exist under the name Reform-Theater; in 1927, the cinema owner Josef Gutfreund lived by the cinema on the ground floor of the house. In 1928 he was replaced in this apartment with the cinema by Gerhard Simon. According to the entries, Arthur Lichtenstein and Mrs. Gertrud Kabilinski took over ownership of the small cinema by 1928 at the latest. After them, until the closure in 1931, “Simon & Westkott” were the owners of the Reform-Lichtspiele. Gutfreund, Simon and Goertz lived on the ground floor by the cinema and were probably operators and projectionists who earned their living with the cinematographic performances. The cinema was played every day and 116 seats have been recorded for the past few years. When other venues switched to sound film, the Reform-Lichtspiele were closed, the capacity (probably) ruled out a profitable conversion.
Roxy ---- Film and Brett'l ( Location )	Belforter Strasse  15	1911-1956	The building is a listed building and was erected in 1876 in a design by Fritz Gerhardt and built in 1878–1879 as a hall. The cinema was opened in 1911 in the former dance hall with a renovation in 1913. In 1920 it was taken over by the large cinema builders Czutzka & Co., who commissioned the renovation by the cinema architect Max Bischoff. Over the years it has been rebuilt several times. In February 1944 the Roxy had to close due to severe damage, but was soon able to resume operations for the post-war period until 1956. After the vacancy, Wolf Biermann and Brigitte Soubeyran founded das bat in 1961 as one of the first amateur theaters in the GDR. In 1962 there was a conversion to the new conditions. Since then it has been run continuously as a studio theater for the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts in Berlin (HFS). Recently (2016 and 2017) this arcade was completely renovated. The cinema as Apollo-Lichtspiele was used in 1920 with 500 seats a day. During the renovation in 1920, the hall building with a tier and orchestra pit was added to the side wings. The gable was divided into two storeys, the visitors came via a staircase through a wide entrance with double doors, above the cinema name and sideways display cases for film advertising, into the entrance hall. The seating reached down to the stage with great depth. The lower storey of the residential building on the right were ancillary rooms. In 1931 Wilhelm Kratz had boxes installed in these side rooms instead of the previous parquet and rank boxes, and balconies were added to the rank. From 1921 the name "Film und Brettl" was used and with 290 seats was owned by Berliner Lichtspiel-GmbH (Berlich), de la Croix ran the business. The name speaks for variety events for silent film screenings. By 1924 the number of seats changed from 218, 425, 320, 457 under the leadership of director Ella Alexander, from 1928 together with Margarete Schako the number of available seats increased from 218 to 425–457, five cinema musicians were involved. From 1931 mechanical music was called and there was technology for the daily sound film program . Finally, in 1933, Ella Alexander left as a partner. In 1935 Ernst Severin became the new owner and named the 413-seat cinema “Roxy-Lichtspiele” (Belforter Straße). In February 1944, the Roxy closed due to severe damage. However, it was reopened in 1946 and existed as a cinema until 1956, initially in trust, then as part of the VEB Berliner Filmtheater.
Schauburg am Arnimplatz ---- Groß-Lichtspiele Volks-Kino-Theater ( Location )	Schönfließer Strasse  17	1912-1942	The cinema was previously located on the west side of Arnimplatz behind the front building 17. In 1912 Otto Carl built a hall building ("Arnim Halls" by Oskar Heine, 15 m × 10 m) into the "Volks-Kino-Theater" in the back yard across the right wing. around. The client was Stoll & Koschinska (cinema theater), with W. Koschinska living here in the 12-tenant house at the time. The entire side wing became the entrance and foyer area, so the seating was from the screen to the rear wall. A wide cross corridor led to the hall exit into the courtyard. The projection room was on a narrow gallery. Until 1917, “A. Stoll & Co. “the cinema owner (company) at the location. In the beginning, the innkeeper Oskar Heine also owned the cinematograph and operated or had it operated in the converted previous Arnimsaal. In 1913, Heine moved from Schivelbeiner Strasse to Stargarder Strasse 60 and the innkeeper Emil Otto moved in with him. In addition to Schönfließer Straße, “Stoll & Co.” also owned the “ Helmholtz-Lichtspiele ” and the Atlantic in Wedding. From 1915, the cinema partner Franz Stoll was responsible in Schönfließer Straße 17. The “Volks-Kino-Theater” offered daily performances and probably had 300 seats. For the years 1918 and 1919 the cinema owner F. Härtig and the cinema owner F. Leben were registered with the apartment and the cinema theater from Leben & Härtig in the house. In 1920 Frieda Härtig was not mentioned either in the house or as a partner. The cinema owner Willy Könnecke joined the cinema owner life. The latter was not previously in the address book 1920/1408 or locksmith Willi Könnecke was added as a resident of the ground floor apartment. The number of places was given in 1918 by the owner Friedrich Leben as 321, in 1920 it was 200 and there was a daily program of silent films. Kaufmann Leben and cinema owner Könnecke still ran the Volks-Kino-Theater in 1922 and ended in 1923 at the height of the inflationary period . In 1923, Leben (probably) left the cinema sector and the businessman Willy Könnecke moved to Moabit. In 1924, businessman Max Groß acquired the hall building and the existing equipment. The new name “Groß-Lichtspiele” went back to the new owners Max and Ernestine Groß. In 1927 the large light plays were rebuilt, whereby the gallery became a rank that the visitors from the side wing reached. The number of places rose from 200 to 211 to 360 to 354. Max Groß had died in 1927 and his widow Ernestine Groß, nee. Kraus continued to run the cinema. In 1929/1930 Walther Lange was a partner or tenant. In 1932 the equipment required for the sound film screening was purchased from the Kinoton company . The cinema was run by the tenant L. Ebersohn from the silent film stage to the sound film stage as "large-light plays". The widow Groß died in 1936. In 1937 Walter Eiling (Elims) took over the Lichtspiele from the Großschen Erben. In order to respect the naming rights, he gave the new name with the suffix “Schauburg am Arnimplatz”, renouncing the family name of the previous owner. There were several “Schauburg-Lichtspiele” in Berlin, which were operated by the Roland & Co. Commanditgesellschaft based on Belle-Alliance-Platz. In 1941 Rudolf Winter and Elise Picht became partners in Schauburg Eilings, still with 354 places. In 1941 the Schauburg is still mentioned in the telephone book (44 66 71). In the air raids in 1942 the Saalbau in was World War II, in contrast to the damaged apartment building destroyed on the road, the southern buildings of Arnimplatz westward was by bomb damage badly damaged. The corner development of the square on Schönfließer Strasse was less affected. The old building at Schönfließer Strasse 17 was renovated as a residential building in 2010.
Schönhauser Lichtbild-Theater ( Location )	Schoenhauser Allee  101	1919-1925	The cinema was on the corner of Bornholmer Strasse. The venue existed from 1919 to 1925. Currently (as of 2017) there are two shops on the ground floor: the drugstore with the entrance on the chamfered corner of the house occupies the cinema area with the hall along Bornholmer Straße. The “Schönhauser Lichtbild-Theater” is specified in the cinema directory with a daily performance and 250 seats. Gustav Ziel is the owner until 1921, after the inflation in 1924 and 1925 Walerie Krauss is the owner with a slightly larger space of 269 seats. Until the cinema was closed, the management consisted of Anthony Hope and J. Hopman from Reinickendorf-Schönholz.
Scale light plays ( Location )	Schönhauser Allee  80	1912-1975	The "Skala" was north of the Schönhauser Allee S-Bahn station . The house at Schönhauser Allee 80 was a new building by Ackerbürger Griebe in 1875, further north to the Pankower Feldmark there were undeveloped lots and sites in the 1890s. Since 1895, innkeepers have also been active in the tenement house 80 owned by (initially) owner Krüger. In 1906 Reindeer Runge (Wallstrasse 3) became the owner of the house. Around 1910 A. Bahr took over the inn in the house of the owners A. and L. Runge and the showmen Karl and Heinrich Petsch lived here. The information given in 1912 for the beginning of cinematographic performances at Schönhauser Straße 80 is probably based on demonstrations in the restoration. The favorable location at the Ringbahnhof, the presence of showmen in the house and the ongoing development of Schönhauser Allee on the other side of the Ringbahn (probably) favored its use as a cinema . In 1919/1920 the property changes to the Runge heirs and is managed by L. Runge; Hoffmann became an innkeeper. From 1922, the Skala Theater (photo) in the house of the Runge heirs Walter and Hans Runge (as administrators they called Rentier Ludwig Runge) is included in the Berlin address book. Albert Maaß took over the inn and the Petsch showmen still lived here. The slide theater was founded as a company registered under commercial law "Skala-Theater Gebr. W. & H. Runge" in 1922 during the period of inflation , initially Ludwig Runge was named as the owner of the house and cinema. The cinema address book 1924–1925 (Verlag Max Mattisson) has 578 seats, and in 1925 there were also 600 seats; there were daily performances with silent film programs with artistic performances. The Skala Theater had a stage measuring 6 m × 3.5 m and 4.5 m high. In 1925 the "BSP-Film- und Bühnenschau GmbH" acquired the theater and in 1927 Heinrich Hadekel and David Hirschberg became the owners of the slide show. In 1929 the owner, Dipl.-Ing. Siegfried Ebenstein daily performances in the "Skala-Lichtspiele, Film und Bühne" and stated 600 seats for spectators in the documents. A band of four cinema musicians accompanied the screenings when Hoffmanns Lachbühne GmbH from Charlottenburg (Managing Director: S. Hoffmann) held the cinema in 1931. In 1932, the Kinoton sound film equipment was installed and the chapel was replaced by a cinema organ . In the Reichskino address book, vol. 11, Walter and Hans Runge were again given as the owners of the “Skala-Tonfilm-Kabarett, Film und Bühne” with a daily program and 570 seats. It can be assumed that they remained the owners of the facility and gave up the use of the stage and technology. They remained the owners of the venue with alternating between 575 and 600 seats and daily performances on the 24 m² stage. Listed in the telephone directory in 1941 (446274), the scale has been one of the great light games in Prenzlauer Berg since 1922. The war damage north of the train station and elevated railway station remained limited. With a brief interruption due to the closure order from Reich Propaganda Minister Goebbels at the end of the war from autumn 1944 and after the end of the war due to power disruptions in 1945, the “Scala-Lichtspiele” continued operations in the post-war years . The traditional film projection technology together with the slide projection and the available 575 seats enabled the daily presentations by owner Runge. The cinema, which was still privately run in East Berlin in 1957 , was initially expropriated in Treuhand in 1960 and continued by the VEB Berliner Filmtheater until 1975. The cinema was stopped before the demolition of the residential complex with business areas at the train station. With the planning for the redesign of the station, the plots with the backyards facing Greifenhagener Brücke (Greifenhagener Strasse 47 and 48 and Schönhauser Allee 80) were demolished in the 1980s when the S-Bahn and U-Bahn stations were being converted. The station complex was completed in 1987 for the 750th anniversary . On plot 78/79 there was an open space with retail markets as the station forecourt. Initially, residential buildings were planned. After the fall of the Wall there were planning changes and in 1999 the shopping center "Schönhauser Allee Arcaden" was opened. The former cinema area was completely lost.
Stargarder plays of light ( Location )	Stargarder Strasse  65/66	1909-1921	The cinema was in the corner building at Stargarder 65 / Lychener Straße 67 (north corner of the intersection). In the five-storey house there are four residential floors (twelve tenants) above the business on the ground floor. For 1909 the cinematograph owners F. & H. Bartlog are listed in the address book at Lychener Straße 102. According to the seating plan from 1910, access was from the corner of the house past the projection room into the hall along Lychener Strasse on the ground floor (30 meters, before 1937: Lychener Strasse 102). As additional space, the side room had (probably) a poor view of the screen. The corner location justifies the changing address details. In the branch section of the 1912 address book, the Bartlog brothers are listed under Lychener Strasse 102 for cinematographic presentations. 1914 Stargarder Strasse 65/66 is again listed for operator Reuter. In the cinema directory for 1917 it was addressed as Lychener Straße 102. For 1918, the Stargarder Lichtspiele are listed under Stargarderstraße 65/66 with 221 seats and Robert Gramseil as the owner. The cinema address book names Friedrich Neumann as the owner for 1920 and 1921, in the Berlin address book for 1920 in the branch section F. Bechler for N 58 Stargarder Strasse 65.66, the cinema-theater owner Karl Schiller is entered for cinematographic performances in the 1922 address book. In the 1923 address book, Stargarder Strasse 65/66 remains without any mention of a cinema. The building was preserved in the Second World War and there is currently a restaurant on the ground floor, again with the entrance at the chamfered corner to the intersection.
UCI Kinowelt Colosseum Colosseum ( Location )	Schoenhauser Allee  123	1924- >>	The Colosseum is a large building on the corner of Schönhauser Allee and Gleimstraße. Listed in the telephone book around 1941 (44 73 04). A horse and bus depot until 1918, Fritz Wilms and Max Bischoff converted the carriage hall in 1924 into a 1200-seat cinema, and around 1930 it was expanded to 1,400 seats by Erich Teschemacher on behalf of the "Colosseum HG". Between 1932 and 1945 the stage operated as the "Ufa-Theater Colosseum". The hall and foyer were used by the “ Metropol Theater ” from 1949 to 1957 . With the dissolution and expropriation of the UFA in 1945 by the SMA , a change of ownership became necessary and the hall was used by the Metropol Theater . In 1955, with the move of the Metropol-Theater to the Admiralspalast , it was reopened in 1957 after being converted into a cinema with 562 (819) seats. From then on it was technically equipped with Cinemascope .
Ufa-Palast Königstadt ---- Giant light shows Rivoli Volkshaus ( Location )	Schönhauser Allee  10/11	1914-1944	With the construction of the “ Königsstadt Terraces” at the end of the 1990s, a new building was erected on Schönhauser Allee on the site of the former “Königsstadt Brewery”. Since then, there is no longer a structure pointing to the UFA-Palast. The cinema is mentioned in the telephone directory around 1941 (42 50 67). 1902–1903 the ballrooms of the Königstadt brewery by Cremer & Wolffenstein were built on the site at Senefelderplatz . Soon, as in other breweries, films were shown sporadically. After such cinematographic "events" a real cinema was finally installed. The giant light shows offered space for two thousand beer-drinking spectators and were opened in the ballrooms in 1914. On behalf of the “Brauerei Königstadt AG”, the cinema was rebuilt for Sternfilm-GmbH by Hans Meyer. As the “Rivoli-Filmbühne des Nordens” there has been 1200 spectator seats since 1925 (932 stalls, 268 seats). In the following year 1926 the Ufa-Theater-Betriebs-GmbH took over the cinema combined with the name change to "Ufa-Palast Königstadt". In 1933 it was rebuilt, but the hall building was destroyed in the Second World War.
Union ballrooms ( Location )	Greifswalder Strasse  221–223	1931-1936	At Greifswalder Strasse 221-223 there was a trade union building of the “Union ring of German workers ', salaried employees and civil servants' associations” and the “Association of German trade unions”. The buildings on property 221–223 with the Union Festival Halls lay in the depths. In the back building were the Union ballrooms, which were operated by Carl Berndt in 1908. For 1930, Th. Brommer is noted as the owner of the Union Festival Hall. From 1936 the ballrooms in the club house are no longer listed in the Berlin address books. The cinema in the Union Festival Halls is shown from 1931 to 1936. The original building no longer exists. The building was destroyed in air raids. The area of ​​the cleared ruins and the inside of the square Greifswalder / Heinrich-Roller- / Wins- / Immanuelkirchstraße remained fallow and was used as a storage area with access via Immanuelkirchstraße 14 in the years up to 1990. A hotel was built inside the square. The planned residential buildings on the former trade union site at Greifswalder Strasse 221–222b were initially suspended. “On the 2,600 square meter wasteland, behind wooden partitions pasted with posters and old masonry, dirty heaps of rubbish have long been stored. [...] A combination of loft apartments in the multi-storey front building and six town houses in the garden courtyard behind should attract a wealthy clientele. ”In 2017, this wasteland still exists.
Union Theater ---- Lichtspiele on Senefelderplatz ( Location )	Metzer Strasse  41	1919-1949	The cinema was on the northeast of Senefelderplatz Metzer at the corner of Kollwitzstraße. Until 1947 Kollwitzstraße was called Weißenburger Straße , the corner house Metzer Straße 41 corner Weißenburger Straße 8 ist seither als Kollwitzstraße 16 adressiert. Das Kino ist für 1941 im Telefonbuch genannt (44 08 11), im Branchenteil 1943: Union Theater N 66, Metzer Straße 41. Die Adressangabe lautet vorrangig Metzstraße 41 mit dem Zusatz Ecke Weißenburger Straße, auch „Senefelderplatz“ Ecke Metzer Straße. 1919 mit 227 Sitzplätzen begründet wurde es vom Inhaber Adolf Zahr „(Eva-)Speyer-Lichtspiele“ benannt, sein Nachfolger Heinrich Müller (1924) benutzte den Namen „Senefelder Lichtspiele“. 1925 wurde Direktor Otto aus Schöneberg Inhaber des Kinos, da wird die Platzanzahl zwischen 199 und 330 genannt.

Union Theater ---- Lichtspiele Zelterstrasse Universal Hermes Flamingo ( Location )	Naugarder Strasse  45	1911-1957	The Union Theater was not far from the S-Bahn station in the Naugarder head building on Rietzestrasse 25 (before 1952: Zelterstrasse 1). On the Straubeplan 1910 the corner of Straße 20 (→ Rietzestraße) and Straße 23 (→ Naugarder Straße) was still vacant. In 1911, the new corner house at Zelterstrasse 1 and Naugarder Strasse 45 was built. On the ground floor, the rooms of a shop cinema for 200 to 250 seats were created and in January 1912 the owner opened it. The hall extended along Rietzestrasse and access was from Naugarder Strasse. In the following year 1913 Gustav Altstädt became an innkeeper in Weißensee Berliner Allee 246 and the construction business was closed. He remained the owner of the corner house and probably the cinema in it. From 1913 the “Consumer Cooperative Berlin and Surroundings” had its seat in the house until the 1930s. According to the cinema address book 1920 (Max Mattisson Verlag), Julius Kalweit was the owner of the "Lichtspiele Zelterstraße". The Reichs-Kino-Adreßbuch 1921/1922 (Verlag der Lichtbild-Bühne ) indicated Richard Sattler with the apartment at Goldaper Strasse 12 ( Green City ) as the owner of the “Universal-Lichtspiel-Theater” . The cinema was named with daily screenings with two weekly program changes and around 200 seats. Silent films were supported by two to three cinema musicians. The cinema is not in the address book for 1923/1924; it was recorded in 1925 as “Universal-Lichtspiele” in Zelterstrasse 1 for Otto Altmann. He had increased the number of seats to 220. The merchant Gerhard Schwulera took over the universal theater from him and (probably) improved the comfort by leaving only 165 seats. In 1929, Mr. Rieger became the lessee, who owned a variety concession and was a member of the Reich Association of German Movie Theater Owners E.V. The cinema operator Kampofski was the operator of the "Hermes-Lichtspiele" (183 seats). The midwife Paula Bensch was registered as the owner in 1930 and 1931 and the concert singer Annie Salton for 1932. During this time (1932) the technology company Kinoton was installed for sound film playback. The seating plan from 1930 is reproduced on page 143 in the book “Kinoarchitektur 1895–1995”. The Zelterstrasse in the Carl-Legien-Viertel was called Drunselweg from 1931 to 1933 , with the name “Lichtspiele Drunselweg”. In 1933 the cinema name "Flamingo-Lichtspiele" followed by the cinema owner Gertrud Andreska, who also owned the Marabu-Lichtspiele in Kreuzberg. Before the renovation, Schillert (Wisbyerstraße 26) was called. 1935/2287 In 1936 the architect Schrader rebuilt the cinema, with the entrance being moved to the corner of Rietzestrasse, two doors under the sign with the cinema name next to the corner of the house led through an anteroom with the box office into the long, narrow cinema hall with 165 seats. Gustav Haß-Mellini was the owner of the "Union Theater am Bahnhof Weißensee" from 1936 to 1940, and had 1921 recorded in the cinema address book as the year of its establishment. After the renovation, the address of the cinema became Naugarder Straße 45. In the war year 1941 , Robert Staßfurth became the operator. The cinema remained undamaged during the war and games continued into the post-war period . Around 1950 the business of the cinema entrepreneur Gerda Dreyer (previously: Kurth & Dreyer) was led by Edith Rusch and Theodor Wilke was listed as the lessee. In the “Union Theater” the demonstration technology consisted of the “Ernemann-I” projector and sound film amplifier, as well as the slide equipment. There were two performances a day. When the private East Berlin cinemas were redesigned, the “Union” was not taken over by VEB Berliner Kinobetriebe. The relative proximity of the better-preserved and adopted Atlas-Lichtspiele was certainly one reason for the closure of the small film stage. After being closed as a cinema, the rooms were used as a children's library from 1965 at least until 1995, when it moved to the Heinrich Böll Library on Greifswalder Straße. The rooms on the ground floor are currently used by shops and a bakery-cafe (Naugarder).
World theater "The living image" ( Location )	144 Schönhauser Allee	1907-1933	The cinema was located in the apartment building completed in 1906/1907 at Eberswalder Straße 25/26 / corner Schönhauser Allee 144. When the architect and initial owner Paul Ueberholz couldn't find a tenant for a restaurant on the first floor, the world theater “Das lebende Bild “for cinematographic silent film screenings directed by Robert Müller. The irregular floor plan required unusual seating with a remaining “refreshment area” (1919: 384 seats). In addition to the background music for the silent films by a piano player, what was happening on the screen was commented on by a so-called "cinema explainer". Although the lease expired in 1912 and the competition endangered operations, the new home owner M. Zielinsky only had the cinema converted into office space in 1933.
White Trash ---- Opera ( Location )	Schönhauser Allee  6/7	2008-2014	The “Opera-Lichtspiele” (owner: Georg Antonius) can be traced back to the year 1920 in the building, with 300 seats being used daily. In the 1910 address book, C. Kasulke is noted for the building under cinematographic ideas, he lives in the building and owns the Lichtbild Theater. of the house with a Andreas Döhler from Castrop-Rauxel , which began in 1985 as a collective of Sputnik cinema, the Berlin theater landscape has helped shape and he was after the turning point of the scene and near the center of cinema venue in the "White Trash Fast Food" set. Films were shown four times a week in the “Diamond Lounge”. Film classics, rediscoveries and “jewels of independent film” tied in with the underground film via the New York punk club CBGB . It is probably the only cinema in Berlin where you were allowed to smoke. The cinema closed in April 2014 and the “White Trash Fastfood” moved to Treptow at Flutstraße 2 as a cultural address and club, but without a cinema, and exists there. Initially, a (now closed) restaurant under the name "White Trash" remained in the rooms. Its name translated from English means "white scum", which native-speaking tourists understood as a racist term.

For the book Kinoarchitektur in Berlin 1895–1995 , Berlin 1995, further cinemas were researched in the Prenzlauer Berg district (Prenzlauer Berg district in 1995). The cinematogarphentheater for Kniprodestraße 118b (1907), Driesener Straße 24 (1910), Jablonskistraße 38 (1920) and Göhrener Straße 8 (1927–1930), as well as the “Spiegelberg” (1927) in Esmarchstraße 26. From 1927 (resp . 1928) until 1936 the parish halls of the Immanuel-Kirch-Gemeinde (Immanuelkirchstraße 1) and the Corpus Christi congregation (Conrad-Blenkle-Straße 44, until 1974 Thorner Straße) were used for regular film screenings. In the 1980s, the children's and youth film club was located at Schivelbeiner Straße 45 (at that time: Willi-Bredel-Straße 45).

Remarks

• The Berlin address books are named according to the year of publication and reflect the situation of the previous year. Mainly the tenants (residents) are mentioned in the street section, as well as companies registered by the commercial court. The cinemas operated privately by owners with other domiciles are not listed in this way. In addition to the detailed address book quotations, the year of issue / page number was sometimes given in "digital.zlb.de" so as not to keep the document too detailed.
• May 1905: “According to official statistics, there are 16 fixed cinemas in Berlin. They show mixed programs with short films that are mainly produced in Germany and France. "
