Park Theater (Kempten)
The Parktheater in Kempten (Allgäu) is an Art Deco event building with the street address Linggstraße 2 from the 1930s. It was one of the first cinemas in Kempten. The Stadttheater Kempten was already leased as a cinema from 1921 to 1932 in order to be able to pay the operating costs of the building. Today the park , as it is simply called, serves as a disco. The building has a circular plan to the south and a rectangular plan to the north. It is located at the Kempten city park .
