Lo Stadtkino (cinema di citta') è un posto veramente eclettico, votato a mostrare film belli, emozionanti ed interessanti. Il cinema in se è nero pece così che la luce non ha una probabilità di entrare. Visto che la maggior parte dei spettatori sono patiti dei film in bianco e nero ed in technicolor proiettati qui, non sentirete volare una mosca durante la proiezione del film. Gli spettacoli iniziano puntuali e non ci sono trailer. Le pellicole in visione non sono di ultima uscita, invece tendono a seguire temi particolari. Il Kunsthalle inoltre mostra qualcosa qui ogni due settimane.
