A conversion of the Sander dance hall, the Apollo Kino was opened in September 1908. In November 1944 an allied bomb destroyed a neighboring house which also caused some damage to the Apollo Kino, forcing it to close.
The Apollo Kino re-opened on 24th July 1945 and during the 1950’s it specialized in American films. In 1973 it began screening art-house films, with programming selected by students. On the 5th May 1981 the auditorium was damaged by a fire caused by a cigarette. Repairs were carried out and they revealed a decorative ceiling which had been covered over for many years.

The original operator of the theater is Wilhelmine Kaufmann, who was 23 at the time of the September 1908 opening of the Apollo. It originally housed 300 seats as well as a standing room when it opened with silent films accompanied by a piano player.
