Kolosseum, Former variety and cinema hall in Erlangen, Germany

The Kolosseum stands as a substantial building with dual cinema halls and a restaurant section, reflecting late 19th-century German architectural elements.

The construction of the Kolosseum began in 1894 under architect Casimir Böhmer, opening its doors to the public on November 16th of the same year.

The venue transformed from a military hospital during World War I into a cinema named Glider Theater under U.S. Army management from 1945 to 1947.

The structure includes multiple entrances, two separate cinema halls named Kolosseum and Atelier, and integrated facilities within the Bayerischer Hof hotel complex.

Adolf Hitler delivered his first Erlangen speech at this location in May 1923, marking a notable moment in the building's political history.
