Aftonstjärnan

Aftonstjärnan is a theater and cinema building located on Hisingen island north of the Göta Älv river in Gothenburg. The structure combines two functions: screening rooms for film showings and stages for live performances by musicians, comedians, and actors.

The building was constructed in 1903 as a community and assembly house for local residents. Beginning in 1915, it regularly showed films and became the oldest continuously active cinema in the city.

The venue operates as a gathering place where theater, film, and community activities happen under one roof. Locals use it as a space for live entertainment ranging from comedy acts to musical performances throughout the year.

The theater is located at Plåtslagaregatan 2 on Hisingen island and is accessible by public transport. Most performances take place in the evening, and an on-site café allows visitors to relax between shows.

The building holds official status as an individual listed structure, highlighting its architectural importance. What makes it notable is that it has maintained its original purpose as a public meeting place for over a century.
