Cineplex Royal Fritzlar

Auf d. Lache 6, 34560 Fritzlar

Fritzlar, one of Hesse's oldest towns, is where Saint Boniface felled the sacred oak of the Germanic god Donar in 723, an act traditionally regarded as a founding moment of Christian Germany. The Cineplex Royal occupies a modest venue in this deeply historical small town, whose intact medieval walls and Romanesque cathedral give it a gravity that larger Hessian cities cannot claim. The audience here is drawn from the surrounding Schwalm-Eder countryside, a pastoral landscape of half-timbered villages and gently rolling farmland. The Royal in its name hints at aspirations that transcend the provincial, appropriate for a town whose history shaped a continent.
