It was once a pleasant place for walks, as its name suggests, with large trees. There was a charming bandstand there, built in 1878 and disappeared less than a century later, in 1974, without us really knowing under what circumstances. The band of the 44th infantry regiment garrisoned in Lons or the Municipal Harmony gave concerts there on Sunday afternoons and Thursday evenings in the summer.<p></p><p>Next door was the Chalet café where the Lédoniens stopped for refreshments. In 1908, it covered and closed his upstairs terrace. Particularly for thermal spa guests, the café sets up a stage and gives shows, taking the name Kursaal. In 1912, he succumbed to the cinema craze and became “Eden-Cinéma”. This was the first cinema in Lons-le-Saunier. Later, it took the name “The Regent”, until 2014 when it fell under the blows of excavators and demolition workers to transform into a modern multi-room: <a href="https://lons.megarama.fr/" target="_blank">“The Mégarama”</a>.</p><p>The Mégarama multiplex with 7 rooms and 990 seats was designed by the <a href="https://incaa.fr/cinema-megarama-a-lons-le-saunier" target="_blank">Carril architectural firm</a>. </p>cinepostcardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18438320990514918176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598190650941254239.post-61994351337792111332024-02-17T09:50:00.000-08:002024-02-17T09:50:54.961-08:00Theater des Friedens in Letschin / Germany<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn095vSlYQYMLXxQptWBb9_uc_cXGHeoRwaaucrT7v7MPkFIVbSVqxTM1-X0XpJZyiBmtFRMj_PFOezBv3ULfKNBG8Jmvoq__OJCCL_aU9ZY7IbI3nljnNYCunl1yKy1eCZvnK2a2u5wuC28klmUYfkbUnEp6NHyRhrvnrlDEN4DyjmwGwb5lr4PhJV7WT/s1093/Letschin%20Theater%20des%20Friedens.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Letschin Theater des Friedens postcard" border="0" data-original-height="690" data-original-width="1093" height="202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn095vSlYQYMLXxQptWBb9_uc_cXGHeoRwaaucrT7v7MPkFIVbSVqxTM1-X0XpJZyiBmtFRMj_PFOezBv3ULfKNBG8Jmvoq__OJCCL_aU9ZY7IbI3nljnNYCunl1yKy1eCZvnK2a2u5wuC28klmUYfkbUnEp6NHyRhrvnrlDEN4DyjmwGwb5lr4PhJV7WT/w320-h202/Letschin%20Theater%20des%20Friedens.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Letschin is a small town in the Oderbruch on what is now the Polish border. The place was badly damaged in the last days of World War II. To my knowledge, the cinema in Letschin is the first cinema building built in the GDR. It opened in 1950 with the name Theater des Friedens - Theater of Peace. There was a cinema, a cultural center and restaurant. The restaurant closed in 1958.<p></p><p>In 1960 the cinema was converted into a cinema for widescreen films. The last cinema event was in 1991. The cinema finally stopped operating for cost reasons and unclear ownership.</p><p>In 1993 the building and land could be purchased by the municipality of Letschin. it was possible to renovate the outer facade a year later.</p><p>In 1995, the association <a href="https://altes-kino-letschin.de" target="_blank">Altes Kino e.V.</a> was founded with the intention of revitalizing this venue and creating a center for different generations to live together, promoting social integration and cultural life in the community and beyond. After the reopening on January 29, 2000, the “Altes Kino e.V.” association took over the use of the building and also the recommissioning of the cinema technology.</p><p>Today, the house with the name <i>Haus Lichtblick</i> has a small café and also houses the municipal library. A blockbuster is shown every month in the cinema, and interesting special programs (including eco-film tour, children's film festival, Brandenburg film discussions) take place regularly. Thanks to its flexible furnishings, the cinema hall is also a venue for theater and cabaret performances, concerts, readings, discussions and cabaret performances and much more. Back to its roots as a cultural center.</p><p>The postcard was printed in 1961. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>cinepostcardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18438320990514918176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598190650941254239.post-28397413821642031632024-02-16T09:54:00.000-08:002024-02-16T09:54:21.733-08:00Vörösmarty Mozi in Budapest / Hungary<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIwG9nlEr3mX9EvLTRHqOveEQOH6ejM3JNZqxlqzcmHeL0De0LAg2Dfe78mbeo9y8cPUmV4If96oY4djoxdTZlen7QTYG1clVuttZt80cIQJNg2zJFY4YhtXi7z8vzv48n0HjEn4CP5upp-XYboV3i1uRjZ8SGMUEpgVdUcQdWmgc1M_ha_7LhteBJSomC/s1146/Budapest%20V%C3%B6r%C3%B6smarty%20mozi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Vörösmarty Mozi Budapest postcard" border="0" data-original-height="813" data-original-width="1146" height="227" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIwG9nlEr3mX9EvLTRHqOveEQOH6ejM3JNZqxlqzcmHeL0De0LAg2Dfe78mbeo9y8cPUmV4If96oY4djoxdTZlen7QTYG1clVuttZt80cIQJNg2zJFY4YhtXi7z8vzv48n0HjEn4CP5upp-XYboV3i1uRjZ8SGMUEpgVdUcQdWmgc1M_ha_7LhteBJSomC/w320-h227/Budapest%20V%C3%B6r%C3%B6smarty%20mozi.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>This <a href="https://mozivilag.com/bejegyzes/vorosmarty-mozi-budapest" target="_blank">cinema </a>was opened in Budapest in 1935 with the name <i>Savoy </i>and 400 places.

The <i>Roxy </i>later also used as a concert hall.</div><div><br /></div><div>The building was demolished in 2008.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>cinepostcardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18438320990514918176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598190650941254239.post-22824602084861471432023-12-26T10:31:00.000-08:002023-12-26T10:31:47.571-08:00Cinemaxx in Berlin / Germany<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDnzH7uRuUSxV3EWlIJaAxWxjDI6ILBh8JVC8jKPwCm919je65ANMyTqZAI1laiVO4BEkoc-GUtj92dfLMdv4rAbqgQjyK_QQCC1X1IJkwQ2dvfVa3LqFoXSqoZnJlPxpVrsg3BT-D6E5yMbs-apWC7t2K5NxAizD9QnCmO5M5teJRDa-4eB9pJOMO4Ufq/s1146/IMG_20231222_0006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1146" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDnzH7uRuUSxV3EWlIJaAxWxjDI6ILBh8JVC8jKPwCm919je65ANMyTqZAI1laiVO4BEkoc-GUtj92dfLMdv4rAbqgQjyK_QQCC1X1IJkwQ2dvfVa3LqFoXSqoZnJlPxpVrsg3BT-D6E5yMbs-apWC7t2K5NxAizD9QnCmO5M5teJRDa-4eB9pJOMO4Ufq/s320/IMG_20231222_0006.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />The <a href="https://www.cinemaxx.de/kinoprogramm/berlin/" target="_blank"><i>Cinemaxx </i></a>in Berlin opened on September 3, 1998 in the newly developed Potsdamer Platz / Leipziger Platz area. <p></p><p>For 25 years it was Berlin's cinema complex with the most seats - 3,434 seats in 19 halls..

Fritz Beck als Führer. Mai 1918"</div><p></p><p>This postcard is more of a photo than a postcard, but was intended (and probably sold) as a postcard. The place, person and time are noteworthy on the back - and this is how the cinema depicted can be identified.</p><p>Saalburg is not the little town in Thuringia on the river Saale, and not the Roman fort located on the main ridge of the Taunus, northwest of Bad Homburg in Hesse. </p><p>The German camp Saalburg was established during World War I near the occupied place of Autry, 50 km east of Reims. It is possible that the camp got its name after the Hessian fort of Saalburg. The camp and the place of Autry were destroyed by fighting in October 1918. Today there is forest and peace again. </p><p><a href="https://www.dffv-verdun.de/img/pdf/dffv-verdun_presse_20140621.pdf" target="_blank">Here </a>I found an interesting article about the camp. Unfortunately, the cinema is not mentioned. Perhaps it was built in May 1918, as written on the postcard. I think the building was used as a cinema and theater.</p><p>The soldiers with the tools look like they have just finished the building. One of them is marked with a cross. The only one who doesn't look at the camera. Maybe it's the aforementioned Fritz Beck. I'm not sure what kind of "Führer" / leader Fritz Beck was. The head of cinema construction or the Vorführer / projectionist or the artistic director? I am sure that cinema-theater complied with all applicable German regulations. </p><p>Postcards in World War I are a very interesting topic. They show a desired self-expression. They are souvenirs for the army member themselves but also for their relatives and friends at home. When you look at the postcard, you think of a holiday camp for big boys rather than a war place. </p><p>At the same time, it is often not easy to locate postcards with front-line cinemas because they worked under exceptional conditions. There is little information about it - how many places there were, what was shown when, who performed, how was the film distribution. That's why this postcard with the comments is an important contemporary document.</p>cinepostcardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18438320990514918176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598190650941254239.post-48229390815282730642023-12-12T10:19:00.000-08:002023-12-12T10:19:50.826-08:00Odeon in Harrogate / United Kingdom<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkcRQot3lYLsB1UEW90f0BD_Cg2XA0nPshL5YucumhEXr3uKhjPu9Rl49bYXqim3IC7q7PoUBMQV9k_TQBlPD-cNbUDsouas7wTV8-Sl_SvAQjPoS_U_Cqjw6oUis8ERogdRE15arQGYqgQgQOQBzE4kNgpng1x-8viOgYnmKUXqq7wjChL670sBFiGsm5/s1157/Odeon%20Harrogate.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Odeon Harrogate PHQ postcard" border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1157" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkcRQot3lYLsB1UEW90f0BD_Cg2XA0nPshL5YucumhEXr3uKhjPu9Rl49bYXqim3IC7q7PoUBMQV9k_TQBlPD-cNbUDsouas7wTV8-Sl_SvAQjPoS_U_Cqjw6oUis8ERogdRE15arQGYqgQgQOQBzE4kNgpng1x-8viOgYnmKUXqq7wjChL670sBFiGsm5/w320-h226/Odeon%20Harrogate.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />The Odeon in Harrogate opened on 28th September 1936.

The house was built as an auction house in 1881 by <a href="https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Dumont" target="_blank">Albert Dumont</a> (1853-1920). In 1913 the house was converted into a cinema in the trendy Italian style. The pioneer of Cinematography and now owner of the building, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path%C3%A9" target="_blank">Pathé Frères</a>, commissioned <a href="https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Hamesse" target="_blank">Paul Hamesse</a>. </p><p>The result was the largest cinema in Brussels with a capacity of 2,500 seats and space for an orchestra. It is the oldest surviving cinema in Belgium. On the roof of the house you can see the well-known symbol of Pathé - the rooster.</p><p>In 1950, architect <a href="https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rie_Haan" target="_blank">Rie Haan</a> undertook a thorough renovation to match the narrower tastes of the time. The dome disappeared under a false ceiling. The cinema disappeared total in 1973 and a home appliance store was built in its place.</p><p>In 1999, the cinema came back with the arrival of <i>Kladaradatch</i> (Yiddish for "big spectacle"). The new owners reassembled the different parts of the building and connected them through the PPCafé. Despite adequate public participation, bankruptcy followed after only a year and a half. Later the <i>Théâtre National</i> found a new home there. </p><p>In February 2018, the cinema <i><a href="https://cinema-palace.be/" target="_blank">Pathé Palace</a></i> reopened its doors after fourteen years of vacancy. More than 600 seats are available in the four rooms (373, 140, 80 and 60). The program consists mainly of art house films. </p>cinepostcardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18438320990514918176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598190650941254239.post-55501219575598533222023-02-15T02:17:00.002-08:002023-09-05T00:53:59.791-07:00Wendelstein-Lichtspiele in Degerndorf am Inn / Germany<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib81JYEyWotGqDtiihL0749Yh5oHqaAYczk7D5B02ccm61KY-TjyrvUfvWutqWhIqZhlavdnPdVpuYqhglP6L8UfevJN3IdlXFr_FUEIMP9V4PqaLQT7mtczx3ctNGWHUX_KC7X-hNWnQxA0IsRmo6rOmFmSAsolQOcDHvGv348HtptkCZPDW8srwTXA/s1133/Wendelstein-Lichtspiele.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Wendelstein-Lichtspiele Degerndorf postcard" border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1133" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib81JYEyWotGqDtiihL0749Yh5oHqaAYczk7D5B02ccm61KY-TjyrvUfvWutqWhIqZhlavdnPdVpuYqhglP6L8UfevJN3IdlXFr_FUEIMP9V4PqaLQT7mtczx3ctNGWHUX_KC7X-hNWnQxA0IsRmo6rOmFmSAsolQOcDHvGv348HtptkCZPDW8srwTXA/w320-h230/Wendelstein-Lichtspiele.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p>Wendelstein is a 1,838-metre-high (6,030 ft) mountain in the Bavarian Alps in South Germany - the mountain in the middle of the photo.</p><p>In 1936, Josef Reheis built the <i>Filmtheater Degerndorf-Brannenburg</i>, a 295-seat cinema hall.

In 1989, here lived approximately 19,000 inhabitants. At this time, there were a cinema and a theatre. The theater is still being used under the name <a href="https://vorpommersche-landesbuehne.de/" target="_blank"><i>Vorpommersche Landesbühne</i></a>.<p></p><p>The 1992 feature film <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stilles_Land" target="_blank"><i>Stilles Land</i></a> tells about a theater in the north German provinces in the autumn of 1989 in the dying GDR. The ensemble of an (unnamed) small town theater is rehearsing the play <i>Waiting for Godot</i>. The film is <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreas_Dresen" target="_blank">Andreas Dresen</a>'s first feature film. Today he is one of the best-known German directors</p><p>The feature film about a cinema in the GDR has not yet been shot.</p><p>The cinema <i>Lichtspiele </i>was opened in 1914 with 450 seats and closed in 1990 (or later). The building no longer appears to be standing. I like the figures on the building.</p><p>The 1959 sent postcard was printed in the 1950s. At that time, the street was called Stalin-Strasse. Today the street's name is Pasewalker Strasse, it was the Stettiner Strasse in 1914.</p><p><br /></p>cinepostcardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18438320990514918176noreply@blogger.com0
