Frankfurt (Oder) Secures 2.2 Million Euros for Theater Renovation
Buckle up, art enthusiasts! A historic gem in Frankfurt (Oder) is set to undergo a significant transformation, thanks to a generous 2.2 million euro investment from the Brandenburg Ministry of Culture. Over the next three years, this funding will be allocated towards planning costs for the ambitious project.
The state government and the federal government will each contribute 11.5 million euros towards the conversion of the once-beloved movie theater. The goal: to transform it into a vibrant art museum, complete with a charming museum café.
Nostalgia Nostalgia! The Lichtspieltheater der Jugend
Once upon a time, Frankfurt (Oder) boasted the Lichtspieltheater der Jugend - the city's very first cinema. Built during the dawn of the 20th century, this impressive structure had seen better days after sustaining wartime damage. However, it was resurrected in 1954 before hibernating once more in 1998.
After spending years empty, the city council took ownership of the charming listed building in 2018. With its historic charm intact, it's now poised for a remarkable revival!
