Lichtburg Essen Concerts 2025-2026

+ Very beautiful interior; Well maintained + Excellent 70 mm film projection + Decent audio + Clean toilets

it’s definitely special to watch a movie in this cinema, only the audio could be improved at times, but maybe that’s the trade off when watching in Germany’s largest cinema.

Classy and charming original theater! Not sure why people keep rushing over to Cinemaxx when they've got this beauty only a few blocks away. Tickets are reasonably priced, concessions much cheaper (and better!) than at Cinemaxx. A lot of movies are shown in the original version with subtitles. Make sure to get a seat up on the balcony!

Great location, nice staff and an amazing theater. Love that they show original version. The only downside is that there's no AC in the theater, so it got rather hot and stuff an hour in. Good thing I picked up a flyer to use as a fan.

It's a huge Theatre. Watched Oppenheimer here. Couldn't ask for more. Overall a good experience. Why 3 stars? Because, one of the major aspects of a Theatre is the quality of sound. The audio wasn't loud enough. It might be different for other shows/movies. But, for Oppenheimer, it clearly didn't meet the expectations!
