Apollo

Apollo is a movie theater in Hannover's Linden-Limmer district with seating for around 214 people and modern digital projection equipment. The venue screens both current releases and classic films on a regular schedule.

The cinema opened in 1908 when Wilhelmine Kaufmann, then 23 years old, converted a former dance hall into a screening venue. The building survived World War II undamaged even though neighboring structures suffered bomb damage.

The theater hosts special programming like original language film weeks and thematic movie nights that bring audiences together throughout the year. These events shape the cultural life of the neighborhood and create space for people to gather around shared film interests.

Film schedules are planned roughly one month in advance and can be checked on the website or in person at the venue. Access to the theater is straightforward and events run throughout the year, making regular visits easy to plan.

The venue has housed DESIMOs Special Club since 2002, combining film screenings with comedy shows and performances by various artists. This blend of cinema and live entertainment makes the space more than just a traditional movie house.
