The Comet Cine Center opened in 1998….. Article from ‘Rheinische Post’:

There used to be 4 big classic 50’s cinemas under one big roof (pre-Multiplex if I may say so, but with so much more ‘elegance’, style and …comfort) near Mönchengladbach Station or rather near the site where Comet Cine Center stands now: ‘UNION’, ‘LICHTBURG’, ‘BAMBI’ and ‘PALETTE’. They where beautifully designed Picture-Houses and I used to visit them regularly, whilst I was living in Viersen with my family. Unfortunately all the cinemas where destroyed in an arson attack in 1975.

Agreed even in smaller towns e.g. Papenburg more interesting buildings, interesting promotions and partnerships, would argue a few more shows OmU – original language + subtitles would be great

How wonderful!

Vastly superior to the impersonal and soulless multiplexes in the UK and the USA.

It proves that you can have several screens – and character. This has wonderful decor and design PLUS the TABS, lamentably absent in the two countries I mention….

Germany is definitely at the forefront in cinema design as far as I am concerned.

Even the UK’s prestigious London cinemas have, I am very sorry to say, been ‘bastardised’……
