Caligari to Shutter by October: Announcement Confirmed

The Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden has announced that the cinema hall of the traditional playhouse is undergoing a modernization project for the first time in 25 years. This historic building, located at Schlossplatz 6, 65183 Wiesbaden, is being transformed to meet contemporary standards while preserving its unique charm.

The progress of the work on the heritage-protected building is being documented with current photos, which can be viewed in the display cases at the Caligari and on the social media platform Wiesbaden.deineKultur. Scaffolding reaches up to the ceiling in the cinema hall, offering an unusual view of the house's architectural details.

The old cinema seats have been dismantled and their upholstery removed. The frames of the seats will remain, while the armrests will be re-upholstered. The sensitive screen, the curtain, and the speakers have been carefully packed to protect them from dust and damage. The worn-out carpeting has been disposed of.

The large hall and all rooms of the municipal cinema are currently a construction site. The project includes fire safety updates to ensure the safety of all patrons.

While there is no publicly available recent information about the progress or expected completion date for the modernization of Wiesbaden's traditional playhouse cinema, you may need to consult Wiesbaden municipal sources, the managing organization of the playhouse, or local news outlets directly for the latest updates.

The modernization project of the traditional playhouse theatre in Wiesbaden also encompasses its home-and-garden areas, with plans to enhance the overall lifestyle experience for visitors. Participants can expect improved home-improvement elements, such as efficient fire safety systems, in the renovated cinema hall.
