Ken, thanks so much for the reference, yes it refers to my grandfather Friedrich who was specialized in the Cinema industry. I have a lot of pictures from Cinemas in Berlin that were brought by my grandfather and have been never released. If they are from your interest let me know. Best, Fred

Hi Fred, The book ‘Kinoarchitecktur In Berlin 1895-1995’ by Syvaine Hansel & Angelika Schmitt (Published in 1995 by Deitrich Reimer Verlag in Berlin). Listing for the Imperial-Tonfilm Theater on page 108:– ‘Ingenieurburo Friedrich Zwiebel (Umbau 1933/34)’ The index of architects at the back of the book only has this cinema as a reference to Friedrich Zwiebel.

Ken thanks, I asked you because I think it refers to my Grandfather Friedrich Zwiebel. I would love to have that information. He used to be a famouse electrical engineer devoted to the Film Industry in the 30´s. If you can share information with me once you are back home I will highly appreciate it. Very best, Fred

Hi Fred, Not sure, but could possibly have been in a book I have on Berlin kinos. Currently I am away from home, so can’t check.

Hi Ken,

How did you find that it was renovated by Fredrich Zwiebel?. I am interested on that data.

Best regards,

Fred
