Nostalgic cinema in Angermünde under the starry sky.

Angermünde has a cinema tradition that goes back over a hundred years. Famous film celebrities like Marlene Dietrich have their roots in the city. But after the fall of the Wall, that was over. The old cinema was demolished. For almost 30 years, film fans had to travel to Eberswalde, Schwedt or Berlin. Now the “Kintopp” is finally back and even at the historic location.
The renovated Haus Uckermark, which once housed the cinema and has been home to the museum and tourist information since 2020, is once again offering monthly film screenings with selected German and international films for children and adults. And all for an admission price of just 5 euros for adults, 3 euros for concessions. Sometimes in an intimate club atmosphere, sometimes open air with a romantic old town backdrop or very nostalgically with mobile historical film technology.
