UT Connewitz

UT Connewitz is a cinema housed in a Neo-Classical building with traditional theater architecture and multiple seating levels. The main hall accommodates around 634 guests across orchestra and balcony sections.

The building opened in 1912 as Kammer Lichtspiele and survived World War II without major damage. After changing names and closing in the 1990s, it was eventually reopened.

The cinema serves as a gathering place for film lovers in Leipzig, showing independent and art films that rarely appear in mainstream multiplexes. Regular attendees come here to discover works from independent filmmakers and international productions.

The cinema is located at Wolfgang-Heinze-Strasse 12a and is easily accessible by public transport or on foot. Visitors can purchase tickets online or at the venue.

The cinema preserves its original silent film screen from 1912, a rare technical relic from the early cinema era. This original feature is found in very few European movie theaters.
