history

The first cinema in Bernstorffstraße (until 1949 Adolfstraße) dates back to 1929, when the Lichtburg cinema was set up in the workshop of the former mirror factory and opened in 1930. After the Second World War , which the house survived unscathed, it was renamed Deutsche Lichtspiele , or Deuli for short , in 1946 . As a follow-up cinema, it showed films that were previously shown in the big houses of the city. In 1956 it was equipped with a screen in Cinemascope format and a sound film sound system. With the audience numbers falling due to the general spread of television and the subsequent death of the cinema, the Deuli had to stop operating in 1962. In the following years the building was empty.

With the closure of the Spiegel cinema that remained in the vicinity, there was again a need for a cinema in the district. UFA closed this gap in 1989 with the opening of the studio cinema in the building on Bernstorffstrasse. The Ernemann II film projector was replaced by a Kinoton FP 20 with Dolby SR. The cinema, run as an art-house art house cinema, had 300 seats and showed sophisticated productions. In 1994 the house was expanded to include an atrium in the neighboring house, which was used for performances and parties. With the insolvency of UFA, the studio cinema was stopped on December 29, 2002.

The United Kino Betriebe GmbH later took over the Studio Kino, but without the atrium in the neighboring house, and reopened it on December 27, 2004 as an art house cinema. The house now had two screening rooms, a large room and a small one for premieres of smaller productions. The focus of the program was on gay and lesbian films, auteur films , film nights, short films and pram cinema, where parents could take their children with them to the screening in prams. The cinema was closed on June 19, 2008. Buildings and halls were renovated. The demonstration technology was converted to digital projectors and 3D technology and reopened at the end of October 2011 by Hans-Peter Jansen .
