Your first time here?

You can find some details about our cinema at Cinema Info.

But here’s some basic information about how things work around here:

Most importantly: the screenings take place rain, hail or shine!

Freiluftkino Friedrichshain is located in Volkspark Friedrichshain. The closest and easiest public transport connection is at “Platz der Vereinten Nationen”. If you go to “Kino Info” and scroll down to the “BVG” window, you can easily find out the best way to get here.

The open air theatre sits nestled cosily in the shade of old trees, surrounded by a beautiful, leafy park, lovingly tended and kitted out with top-quality digital cinema equipment, an enormous screen, all wheelchair accessible with top-notch toilets.

You can buy your tickets online quickly and easily and at no extra cost, and show them at the entrance either as a smartphone ticket or as a print-out. Or you can use our efficient box office on the night.

The cinema and the box office both generally open 30 minutes before the movie begins, but sometimes earlier, if necessary.

There is no assigned seating for any ticket categories.
There are rows of modern wooden benches with backrests. Additionally, we have a large number of chairs with arm rests and tall backs. Up the front, you can also sit at picnic tables, where you can eat and drink in comfort.

We have a large number of cushions to sit on, which are kept next to the kiosk. However sometimes all of them are taken, so we can’t guarantee that there will be cushions for everyone. The cushions are okay, but if you have a blanket with you, you’ll probably be more comfortable. Please return the cushions after the screening. In the event of rain, cushions might not be handed out.

And of course there’s plenty of room to spread out on the grass on a big blanket with your friends to watch the movie in total comfort.

Even if you’ve purchased advanced tickets, it’s a good idea to come a little earlier if the weather is nice to make sure you snare your favourite spot.

Woollen blankets: we don’t have any!
It’s a good idea to bring a blanket with you, or at least a warm jacket or whatever, even if the sun is shining when you arrive. We’re in Berlin, not on the Riviera.

We provide food and beverages at reasonable prices at the kiosk. Our motto here is: fair prices for everyone instead of crazy specials.
We can only provide this service if all our guests do their bit to keep the cinema clean. That means bringing back your rubbish, bottles and cushions after the screening.
The collection areas for everything is next to the kiosk.

We ask that smokers show consideration for the people around them, and to please refrain completely from smoking cigars and joints in the presence of other guests. Please use ashtrays at all times, which you can pick up from the ashtray station next to the kiosk, and then bring them back at the end. Of course you don’t have to empty and wash them, we’ll take care of that.

Particularly if you bring your own food with you to the cinema, we ask you to please clean up before you leave – that’s fair enough, right?

You can lock up your bike in the cinema. If the bike stands are all full, you can leave your bike next to the bike area. There is constant surveillance there, though we are unable to make any guarantees or take responsibility for damage or theft. Please make sure you don’t block any paths. Under no circumstances are bikes to be taken onto the grass where people sit or into the seated areas.
