Located in the Wilhelmsburg district in the southwest of the city. The Reiher Theater opened as a live theater in 1909. In 1913 it was converted into the Reiher Kino. In 1925 it was operated by Karl Lelle. In 1927 it was re-named Reiher Lichtspiele. In 1933 it was re-named Rialto Lichtspiele. In 1941 the cinema was badly damaged by Allied bombs during World War II.
