Sassnitz is a town on Germany's largest island, Rügen.
The 1992 closed cinema Stubnitz-Lichtspiele is a listed building. I found this information on the website (very detailed and with many pictures) of Landesdenkmalpflege Mecklenburg-Vorpommern:
"In 1948, a fish combine founded in Sassnitz with 2000 employees and the location with a Baltic Sea port led to the young town developing into an important GDR industrial location. In this context, numerous apartments and schools were built. The planning for the construction of a representative cultural center was already made in 1955, initially a different location was planned for this.
The rapid development of the former fishing village into a town finally led to the construction of the cultural center with an integrated cinema, restaurant and spa, which was completed in 1958. With its location next to the train station and in a prominent urban development position, the Stubnitz cinema quickly developed into the cultural center of the town.
For the development of post-war architecture in the GDR, the cinema building in Sassnitz is an important architectural document of socialist realism with a very good original tradition and state of preservation of high testimony value. The building is impressive in terms of design, functionality and quality of workmanship and was built in a traditional 1950s style, comparable to the cinemas in Crivitz, Lübz, Plau am See, Malchow and Pasewalk. With its extensive original condition and its architectural quality, the cinema in Sassnitz is one of the most important surviving cinema buildings of the 1950s in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania."
The name Stubnitz for this cinema refers to the hilly forest landscape near Sassnitz.
The postcard was published in 1962.
