Franziskanerstraße 9, 57462 Olpe
Olpe, a small Sauerland town on the shores of the Biggesee reservoir, serves as an administrative centre for the surrounding forested highlands. The Cineplex on Franziskanerstrasse occupies a place in a community where the lake, the hiking trails, and the changing seasons define the rhythm of daily life. The Biggesee draws water sports enthusiasts in summer and the surrounding hills attract skiers in winter, giving the region a modest tourism economy. For the permanent residents, the cinema provides a welcome indoor gathering place during the long, grey Sauerland winters when the clouds settle into the valleys and refuse to leave.
