CineStar Wismar

Schweriner Str. 16, 23970 Wismar

On the Schweriner Straße in Wismar, a UNESCO World Heritage Hanseatic city on the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, CineStar brings modern cinema to a town whose architectural splendour rivals that of far larger cities. Wismar's old town is a masterwork of Brick Gothic, its churches and marketplace bearing witness to centuries of Hanseatic prosperity, and the Swedish heritage from two centuries of rule adds a further layer of historical depth. The cinema serves the local population and a growing number of visitors drawn by the town's heritage status and its position on the Baltic coast between Lübeck and Rostock. The harbour, still a working port, provides a maritime atmosphere that permeates daily life. Inside, the screens deliver mainstream entertainment in comfortable surroundings, a modern amenity within a medieval setting. For a town of Wismar's scale, a well-run multiplex is a significant cultural asset, and the CineStar fulfils that role with consistent quality.
