About

No other cinema in Berlin shows such a wide selection of original versions, whether it's an arthouse gem or ambitious Hollywood production. Rollberg pursues a consistent focus on films in the Original language version, additionally with English-subtitled films.

History

From a historical perspective, the Rollberg has great footsteps to follow. In 1927, the Mercedes Palast, the largest movie theater at the time with 2,500 seats, opened here, providing affordable after-hours entertainment for the people of Neukölln. The Palast was destroyed in the Second World War, and several attempts after the end of the war for cinema locations remained unsuccessful for a long time. Since 1996, the Rollberg Kino has been at home in the then newly built Kindl Boulevard. It is the longest-running cinema to operate in the history of the location.Since the 2010s, the cinema has pursued a consistent focus on films in the original version, with an expanded focus on English-subtitled films since 2018. Festivals and special events round out the program. And the horror film series Creepy Crypt, which calls every Saturday at a late hour, has meanwhile gained not only a cult following but also international recognition.No other cinema in Berlin shows such a wide selection of original versions, whether it's an arthouse gem or ambitious Hollywood production.
