Jakobsring 5, 06618 Naumburg (Saale)
Naumburg on the Saale, a small Saxon-Anhalt town whose cathedral was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2018, possesses an artistic treasure that draws visitors from across the world: the thirteen donor figures by the anonymous Naumburg Master, carved in the thirteenth century with a psychological realism centuries ahead of their time. The Cineplex on Jakobsring serves a community whose daily life unfolds in the shadow of this extraordinary medieval achievement. The town's quiet streets and the vineyard-covered slopes of the Saale-Unstrut wine region create an atmosphere of unhurried cultivation. In such a setting, the cinema offers narrative pleasures that complement the visual ones already abundantly present in stone.
