| Schillergarten-Lichtspiele in Dresden |
The unwritten and unsent postcard is from the 1920s. You cannot see the cinema itself, only the entrance at the right and the advertising display cases behind the entrance. The cinema opened in 1911 and was known as Schillergarten-Lichtspiele from 1920 onwards.
I like this postcard because it still looks the same there 100 years later.
Here my photos from May 2026, and the chestnut trees were blooming again.

funicular railway and the suspension railway on the other side of the Elbe
 A passenger ship is passing by. Steamships like the one on the postcard are still operating. |

| And the cinema building itself |
Since 1911, the cinema has been located in a former ice cellar of the Schillergarten restaurant. It existed until the 1970s. Then the building became a lost place.
The Schillergarten was renovated and reopened in 1994—without a cinema. It is now a listed monument. Since 2004 in the former cinema building (in the former ice cellar), food and drinks are served for the open-air restaurant.
