Capitol Schwerin, Movie theater and architectural heritage monument in Schwerin, Germany.

Capitol Schwerin is a six-screen cinema and event venue at Wismarsche Strasse 128, housed in a listed building. It opened in 1936 with sound and projection technology, scenery lifts and a self-supporting ceiling with a lighting dome, and was selected in 1937 as an exhibit for the Paris World's Fair. It has 1,509 seats.

A tavern called Tonhalle opened on this site in 1817; Heinrich Klöres bought it in 1830 and from 1851 expanded it into an events venue whose great hall held up to 800 people by 1855. A fire destroyed the halls on 9 December 1920. After the 1930 forced auction, cinema operator Willi Dürkop commissioned architects Erich Bentrup and Hellmuth Ehrich, who built the Capitol from 1935; it opened a year later and was chosen in 1937 as an exhibit for the Paris world exhibition.

The Capitol hosts the Filmkunstfest Mecklenburg-Vorpommern every May, first held in April 1991 and known by its present name since 1993. Its regular series include the Filmkunstreihe of modern and independent classics, a Ladies Preview and the Kino für Fortgeschrittene for older audiences.

The cinema is located on Wismarsche Strasse and offers seating for different film tastes. Tickets can be purchased online or directly on site, with screenings running from afternoon through late evening.

The Capitol opened in 1936 with a freestanding ceiling and a lighting dome, and its equipment and architecture led to its selection in 1937 as an exhibit for the Paris World's Fair. It survived the Second World War undamaged, though it served as emergency housing for refugees in 1944.
