An opulent, mature stock of trees forms the enchanting backdrop to the open-air cinema in Friedrichshain. Our state-of-the-art laser projection and comfortable seating offer the perfect setting for you to enjoy movies under the open sky.
If you’ve never been, here is what need to know:

Bicycles:
Bring your bicycles with you! You can secure them in the entrance area, where they are under constant observation (although we cannot offer a formal guarantee in case of vandalism or theft). Please ensure your bicycles do not obstruct any pathways. Under no circumstances may bicycles be taken onto the lawn or into the seating area.
Weather:
Screenings go ahead regardless of the weather. If need be, we sell one-way rain capes for 1,20€.
Admission, Box Office, Advance Tickets:
Box office sales and admission commence 30 minutes prior to the screening. The box office remains open for a further 40 minutes once the show begins. Tickets for all our screenings are available at the box office. We charge the same fair rate for advance and box office sales.
Multiple tickets for five or ten screenings may be acquired both at the box office and online. These allow you to book a ticket for a specific screening online or acquire it at the box office. Please note that these tickets are for multiple screenings, not for groups!
Multiple tickets for five or ten screenings acquired prior to 2022 are still valid at the box office but need to be activated to facilitate online use.

With the Ehrenamtskarte (for volunteer work) issued by the State of Berlin-Brandenburg, you receive a 50% discount on online tickets. You must present the Ehrenamtskarte along with a valid ID. Only this ID is accepted; no other substitute documents will be accepted.
Access/Assistance:
The cinema is wheelchair accessible. However, it is recommended that you use assistance or a mobility aid to navigate the entrance and the paths to the seating areas. If you have an ID card marked B, please acquire a regular ticket online or at the box office. Your assistant will then receive a complimentary ticket at the box office. Our staff is happy to help you find suitable seating.
The cinema is equipped with an induction loop for users of hearing aids.
To use it, please switch your hearing aid to "T". 
To use the induction loop, please choose seating within the last four rows of the middle block.
Seating, Cushions, Blankets:
All of our tickets give you access to the seating of your choice!
Whether on comfortable wooden benches, chairs at bistro tables or the lawn, many of our visitors have long since identified their favourite spot.
When the weather is particularly good, please arrive in good time, even if you have acquired a ticket in advance, to ensure you can secure your preferred spot.
We have a huge number of cushions at our disposal. When screenings are particularly well attended, please bear in mind that every visitor should have access to a cushion!
In addition, we have some 300 fleece blankets you can borrow at no cost on a first come, first serve basis. These are not suited as underlay on the lawn.
Unfortunately, we cannot make cushions or blankets available when it rains (or is likely to rain).
Prams and Young Children are Welcome!
Ideally for parents, the combination of fresh air and the cinema’s soundscape puts many young children straight to sleep. You will find a changing table in the disabled toilet on the right-hand side behind the screen.
Smoking:
Smoking is prohibited in all seating areas! Designated smoking areas and ashtrays are available elsewhere on the premises.
Dogs:
Provided they do not cause a nuisance and are kept on a leash, dogs may be brought along.
