Casablanca Berlin
In the
location's words:
The first cinema performance was held on the first floor of the residential building at Friedenstraße 12, built in 1903, around 1914. Still running under the name "Central", up to 200 people could be seated in the block-like auditorium at that time. In 1935, the exterior facade was further upgraded with advertising and outdoor signs. After its closure in 1958, the premises were rebuilt and used as a costume fundus for the German television station "Deutscher Fernsehfunk".
After a long break and very costly reconstruction measures, the cinema "Casablanca" was then brought to life in 1994, the name being a short description for the interior design, as it were. The foyer with its specially designed counter is based on the interior of the "Cafe Americain", the hall is illustrated all around with Moroccan street impressions.
