Metropol

The Metropol is a listed cinema complex featuring three screening halls located on Bolzstraße in central Stuttgart's entertainment district. The building is a protected architectural structure with spaces designed to serve as a multiplex cinema.

The building occupies the site of Stuttgart's first railway station built in 1846, which was repurposed as a cinema after the new central station opened. The conversion into a cinema theater took place in 1922, beginning a long chapter as an entertainment venue.

The Metropol was a gathering place where international film stars and musicians performed for Stuttgart audiences throughout its operating years. Beyond cinema, it functioned as a cultural venue for concerts and special events that shaped the city's entertainment life.

The cinema is easily accessible on foot from Stuttgart's city center and sits in a well-connected area served by public transportation. The screening halls are relatively small in capacity, so visitors should book ahead to secure seats for popular films.

At its peak, the venue held around 1,400 spectators and ranked among Stuttgart's largest entertainment spaces in the post-war period. This impressive capacity reflected how popular the cinema was with local audiences during that era.
