Kino Intimes

A Century of Cinema in Friedrichshain

Kino Intimes was founded back in 1909 under the name “Lichtspiele des Ostens” (Eastern Cinemas) as a small shop cinema with 15 seats and actually has more than 100 years of active cinema experience.

However, the character of the cinema is less shaped by the turn of the century and more by the plush flair of the 70s, which can already be recognized by the distinctive neon sign in a seventies look. In the tiny cinema hall, there is an old tiled stove that radiates cozy warmth on cold days. Perfect for snuggling comfortably into your seat. And between some cinema seats, there are small tables where you can place your popcorn. The technology, however, is up-to-date, as the historic wood paneling and the orange-brown wall covering were supplemented with modern digital projection technology in autumn 2014.

Right next door, in the associated child-friendly Café Intimes, you can enjoy a delicious brunch on Sundays. Top10 editorial tip: Since the cinema is so small, reservations are highly recommended, especially for larger groups.
