In the early post-war period , the architect Arnold Leissler created plans for a larger movie theater under the same name on behalf of the cinema operator Heinz Bohle in place of the Posthorn-Lichtspiele cinema that was destroyed during the air raids on Hanover at Deisterstraße 66 in Hannover-Linden .
