The most beautiful cinemas in the Ruhr region

The Schauburg is the oldest cinema in the Ruhr region! It opened back in 1912 and you can still enter these historic walls today. With a charming vintage flair, a mixture of blockbusters, indie gems and classics and a great flea market for movie posters, it really does offer everything a cinephile's heart desires.

The Roxy can also look back on a long history in Dortmund. Since 1932, the small cinema has been delighting film fans from near and far with its screen and exciting curation. Currently, for example, you can take a polarizing journey into Berlin's nightlife with Rave On.

On the contrary, sweetSixteen is the youngest of Dortmund's cinemas. It was founded by an independent group of film fans who put their passion and enthusiasm into the program and the work around it. Here you will find many original screenings, exciting reviews and discussions and you can combine all this with the unique flair of the depot. Cinema in a disused streetcar workshop - you won't find that anywhere else.

The Lichtburg is a real diamond in the rough in the middle of the Ruhr coalfield. The listed cinema is so beautiful that only very few films can compete with it. Here you will find classic red velvet seats, golden decorations and magnificent lighting. That's why it's also a favorite for premieres, so here you have the chance to catch some of them and maybe even catch a glimpse of a red carpet.

In addition to the Lichtburg, the small but excellent Eulenspiegel should not be forgotten in Essen. The perfect mix of classic and modern, here you can marvel at state-of-the-art 4K projections or the beautiful grain of 35 or 70mm film. Current highlights as well as classics and silent films are presented here, so there's something for everyone.

In the middle of the hustle and bustle of the Bermuda3eck, you can take a short break and watch the diverse program of the Casablanca Cinema. And if that's too quiet for you, you can continue the hustle and bustle at the Casablanca Bar in the cinema. 🥂

The Duisburg filmforum not only offers you a beautiful cinema hall and exciting programs, you can also take a look at 100 years of German cinema history here. In the filmforum archive, you can discover historical posters, photos, program booklets and much more for around 11,000 titles. It is also the venue for the Duisburg Film Week and the Stadtwerke Summer Cinema.

The Lichtburg Filmpalast, which has been in existence since 1931, combines down-to-earth Ruhr region culture with a sophisticated cinema program - from mainstream to arthouse to fixed festival series such as the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen or the Children's Film Festival in the Ruhr region.
