Kolosseum, Theatre and movie theater in Alsergrund, Vienna, Austria

The Kolosseum was a theater and movie house in Vienna's ninth district with multiple screening rooms spread across different levels. The rooms ranged from smaller cinemas to a larger hall that could accommodate many viewers at once.

Opened in 1898 as the "Wiener Colosseum", a variety theatre, people's stage and comedy house, the building was converted into a cinema in 1925 with 700 seats. It kept operating as a cinema, later with several halls, until it closed in 2002. Its corner site at Nussdorfer Strasse and Währinger Strasse, served by several tram lines, made it easy to reach.

The name recalls the Roman Colosseum, though this was a variety and popular stage opened in 1898 as the Wiener Colosseum. Its corner site at Nussdorfer Strasse and Währinger Strasse, ringed by tram stops, made it a busy meeting point for audiences from the nearby General Hospital, the Technologisches Gewerbemuseum and university institutes.

The building is located on Nussdorfer Strasse in the ninth district and is easy to reach by public transport. Visitors should know that the venue no longer operates as a cinema or theater today.
