Christina Gaus has kindly written further details on this cinema which I have reproduced below (with some minor alterations to the text to correct the grammar translation from German to English):

“The original Schauburg Cinema opened in 1929 in the auditorium of the former Apollo Variety Theatre with a seating capacity of 600 seats. This building was destroyed completely during WW2.

The replacement Schauburg was built in 1949 seating 1000 patrons, the architect is unknown at present.

At some point the cinema was tripled, seating is provided for 350, 160 and 61. The main screen is equipped with a curved 17m x 7m Cinerama screen and is the only cinema in the County of Baden-Wurttemberg able to show the Todd-AO format.

Programmed as an Art House cinema, it has received many awards for ‘Outstanding Programme Schedules’. Since 2005 the cinema holds the annual Todd AO - 70mm - Festival.”
