I dared to claim that I knew Berlin like the back of my hand and was quickly proven wrong! I’m talking about the open-air cinema at Strandbad Wendenschloss, a hidden gem in the southeast of Berlin. During the day, Strandbad Wendenschloss invites you to swim and sunbathe. In the evening, the beach is transformed into an open-air movie theater. As soon as the sun sets, the screen is set up ready to enjoy movies under the stars. The cinema shows a varied selection, from current blockbusters to classics and art house films. Upcoming screenings include “A Great Place to Call Home” (07.08.), a comedy that provides good entertainment with humorous dialogue and lively scenes, and “Perfect Days” (14.08.2024), a slow-paced, ambient Japanese film. The films are shown in different languages, often with subtitles, so everyone can follow along. You can sit comfortably on the provided chairs or bring a blanket to make yourself cozy on the sand. The nearby kiosk offers everything from popcorn and nachos to refreshing drinks – everything you need for a relaxed evening at the movies. So, pack your blanket and enjoy an evening by the water.
