The Belleria Kino is located in a historic building, next to the Volkstheater. It has been operating since the late-1940’s and the programme policy was to only screen classic German films (usually from the Ufa studio) from the period 1928 to 1955. The Bellaria Kino was never been equipped to screen ‘scope or wide-screen films and has a mono sound system, which perfectly suits the vintage films on offer.
In 2001, a German/Austrian documentary film from director Douglas Wolfsperger was made about the cinema and its loyal patrons “Belleria:As Long As We Live” (Belaria: Solange Wir Leben) (100 minutes In German with English sub-titles) which won awards Prix Europa 2002, Monte Carlo 2002. The Bellaria Kino was closed on 24th December 2019. Posters in the frames outside the cinema in June 2022 advertise a crowd-funding to get the cinema reopened.
