The Gondel, a charming cinema in Bremen's Schwachhausen district, combines nostalgic flair with state-of-the-art cinema technology. Since its opening in 1953, this movie theater has established itself as an integral part of Bremen's cultural scene. The 15 rows of seats with velvet red armchairs not only offer a high level of comfort, but also generous legroom in front of an impressive screen measuring almost 50 square meters.
In 2012, the Gondola was converted to digital projection and has been continuously updated ever since. The carefully curated film program focuses on sophisticated, primarily European films that attract cineastes from Bremen and the surrounding area. A special highlight is the French sneak preview, which traditionally takes place on the last Wednesday of every month
The foyer of the Gondel exudes the charm of a French bistro: a large counter, dark wood tables and chairs, gold-framed mirrors and numerous star photos on the walls create an inviting atmosphere. Visitors can linger here before or after the screening with first-class drinks and small snacks, discuss films and end the day in pleasant company.
The Gondel is not only a place for film screenings, but also a cultural meeting place that promotes a sense of community and enriches cultural exchange in Bremen. With its blend of tradition and modernity, the Gondel offers an incomparable cinema experience that delights film lovers time and time again.
