The Union Theater opened on 3rd January 1914, and was based on the Union Theater (later UFA-Lichtspiele Alexanderplatz) in Berlin, Germany, which operated from 1909 until it was destroyed by bombing in 1943 (it has its own page on Cinema Treasures). The Union Theater, Strasbourg was designed by architect Paul Horn.
The Union Theater was re-named ABC in 1958 and was operated by the Gaumont chain until it was closed in 1986. It was renovated in 1992 by the architect Louis Piccon, with funding from the Ministry of Culture, and reopened as the Cinema Odyssee. The original auditorium now known as the Edouard Szulc Auditorium has 260 seats and is the only Neo-Classical style movie auditorium in the Strasbourg area. In the building’s basement is a 63-seat auditorium.
Films are screened in their original versions, with French subtitles.

Le cinéma Odyssée de Strasbourg est une des plus belles salles de cinéma au monde. Ce cinéma est une superbe réalisation de l' architecte Paul Horn. Il ouvre le 3 janvier 1914 et l' Union Theater de Strasbourg, son nom à cette époque, est un cinéma allemand puisque la ville ne redeviendra française qu' après l' armistice de 1914-1918. L' Odyssée est exceptionnel. En effet ce cinéma est un des seuls à avoir conservé toute la classe de son authenticité depuis sa création en 1914. Véritable trésor patrimonial, Strasbourg peut s' enorgueillir de posséder un des plus beaux, un des plus anciens cinémas du monde et cela dans l' éclat de sa splendeur d' origine. L' Odyssée de Strasbourg se classe au sein des magnifiques et prestigieuses salles de l' Urania de Budapest, du Duke of York de Brighton et de l' Aurora de Saint Petersbourg.
