Urania-Lichtspiele

Rosenthaler Lichtspielhaus
Ro-Li
(Rosenthal Lichtspiele)

( Location )

Tollerstrasse  19 1924-1960 Kronprinzenstraße 15/16 (corner of Walderseestraße : since 1951: Garibaldistraße) belonged to the district of Rosenthal (Wilhelmsruh) in the Reinickendorf administrative district until the district reform in 1938. In 1924 Emma Schenk opened the Rosenthaler Lichtspielhaus (Ro-Li) next to the 'Feldschlößchen' restaurant (Kronprinzenstraße 15-16) with 298 seats. With changing operators: E. Prinz and H. Bongard (1925), the Ro-Li (with and without addition: Rosenthaler Lichtspiele) is run by Paul Kreutzberg from 1928 to 1932. The capacity was between 200 and 330, played from Friday to Monday, from 1927 daily. There was a stage: 4.5 mx 5.5 m and a band of one to three men provided background music. The indication in the cinema address book of 1919 as the year of foundation speaks for the fact that cinematographic presentations were given in the restaurant hall beforehand. In 1932 Paul Kreutzberg set up the possibility to play sound films (mechanical music equipment) and gives 271 places.

In 1933 “Kleinke & Michalski” became the owner of the newly named “Urania-Lichtspiele” with 300 visitor places. The address becomes house number 15 in Berlin-Rosenthal, from 1938 in Berlin-Wilhelmsruh. From 1937 to 1945 (last entry in the cinema directory in 1941) Clara Michalski runs the 275-seat cinema with managing director August Michalski. In the summer of 1945, cinema operations continued for six days in the undamaged "Urania-Lichtspiele (Wilhelmsruh)". In the post-war period , undestroyed facilities were in demand in the outskirts, so meetings and rallies took place in the cinema. The cinema (probably) belonged to Ms. Michalski until 1950. The last entry in the cinema address book is from 1950: owner Fred Oldenburg from Spandau, 276 seats, two performances a day, slide, two projection devices: Ernemann VII B, amplifier: ERA 20 watts and the stage 6 mx 4 mx 5 m.

The original building with the cinema was torn down after 1990 and replaced in the mid-2000s by a four-story city apartment block between Garibaldi and Hertzstrasse. The name "Ro-Li" (released in 1933) (Lichtspiel-Theater Rosenthal) was briefly used in the post-war period by Franz Sobotka for the film venue in the dance hall of Bruseberg's restaurant on Rosenthaler Anger.

Lunik

( Location )

Hauptstrasse  40 1961-1992
July 15, 1961 - Central picture Krisch
The cinema was built between 1958 and 1961 according to plans by the architect Josef Kaiser on behalf of the “VEB Berliner Filmtheater”. Initially planned as the "Wilhelmsruh Film Theater", it was named after the Soviet lunar probes as an effective advertising Lunik . The DEFA film Der Fall Gleiwitz was played at the opening on August 24, 1961 . The cinema had a visitor capacity of 510 seats and was the only large cinema with wide-screen technology built in the 1960s on the outskirts of East Berlin . The cinema was also used for other cultural events. With the transformation of the East German economy, the East Berlin cinemas in the late 1970s were called "cultural institutions" to the District Directorate of film Berlin summarized. During the political change in 1991 this was privatized to "BFD Berlin" (O-1058 Berlin, Gleimstrasse 32-35) and passed on to "Cine GmbH - BFD Berlin". The cinema was probably closed in 1991. In 1992, the Wilmersdorf property company Dekagrund bought the Lunik corner property from the trust. “A cinema cafe with 50 seats was planned in the new building, but nothing came of it. Two years later, the low-rise GDR cinema building was demolished. ”A five-story residential building with shops on the ground floor was built on the (north) corner of Schillerstrasse and Hauptstrasse.

Remarks

  1. ↑ The indication of 1919 as the year of establishment in the cinema address books since 1925 probably shows that cinematographic screenings were given in the restaurant hall before 1924.
  2. ↑ When Kronprinzen- in Tollerstraße was renamed in 1951, the properties were changed from horseshoe to alternating . As a result, the house at Kronprinzenstrasse 15 became Tollerstrasse 19.
  3. ↑ “The owner sold… the cinema to two gentlemen from the western sector. With immediate effect they blocked the film screenings and left the cinema to decay. " Internet address no longer exists.

Thus, after the mid-1950s, the planned cinema building became necessary for ideological reasons , especially since VEB Bergmann-Borsig was an important GDR company. @1@ 2Template: Webachiv / IABot / www.panke-guide.de
