Apollo-Theater, Historical theatre in Nuremberg, Germany.

The Apollo-Theater is a historic building on Pfannenschmiedsgasse 22 that features architectural elements typical of late 19th-century entertainment venues. The original structure was damaged during World War II, and the site now houses the City-Point complex.

Johann Baptist Zetlmeier founded the Apollo-Theater in 1896 next to the Hotel Wittelsbach as an entertainment venue for Nuremberg residents. The building shaped the city's entertainment offerings until it was damaged during the war.

The Apollo-Theater hosted variety shows, operettas, comedies and acrobatics, with stars such as escape artist Harry Houdini, Japanese tightrope artist Little All Right, Australian dancer Saharet, comedian Otto Reutter and wire artist Bird Millman. From 1914 film screenings joined the programme, and in 1927 the hall became a cinema with a Welte cinema organ.

The location is easy to find at Pfannenschmiedsgasse 22 and sits near the historic core of Nuremberg. Visitors should know that the site is now surrounded by modern buildings, though the history of the place remains visible.

The building was destroyed in a bombing raid in January 1945; a cinema reopened in the makeshift hall in 1947 before the Union vereinigter Kaufstätten GmbH (Kaufhaus Hertie) bought the complex in 1954 and closed the cinema. After demolition a Hertie department store stood here from 1956 to 1997, and the converted building reopened in 1999 as the City-Point shopping centre. A separate cinema also named Apollo existed in the Vorderen Sterngasse from 1961 to 1996, sharing only the name.
