The Filmstudio Glückauf on the „Rü“ in Essen is not only one of the oldest cinemas in North Rhine-Westphalia but also a diamond among the regional movie theatres.
The Glückauf film studio on the "Rü" in Essen not only exudes the charm of one of the oldest cinemas in North Rhine-Westphalia, but also impresses with its luxurious ambience, which casts a spell over film and culture enthusiasts. An attraction since 1924, the cinema has retained its nostalgic fascination to this day. Even from the outside, a historic film projector signals the allure of the extraordinary that this cinema embodies.
Visitors enter the stylish foyer via a red-carpeted staircase, which conveys a wonderful retro feeling with its 50s-style bar, including kidney-shaped tables and tulip lamps. This is where nostalgic flair meets contemporary cinematic art, as the cinema is not only a crowd-puller for cinematic highlights, but also an important forum for premieres and discussions with filmmakers.
Whether classic film treasures or new cinematic works, the Filmstudio offers space for 250 cinema-goers in front of its trapezoidal stage, making it the ideal venue for other cultural events. The cinema thus proves to be a true haven of creativity and culture, a must for explorers looking for the unconventional and authentic.
