CinemaxX Halle

Charlottenstraße 8, 06108 Halle (Saale)

In Halle an der Saale, the birthplace of George Frideric Handel and the largest city in Saxony-Anhalt, CinemaxX occupies a site on Charlottenstrasse near the historic centre. The city carries the particular gravity of a place where cultural achievement and post-industrial transformation coexist in close quarters -- the Franckesche Stiftungen sit a short distance from remnants of GDR-era housing blocks. MaxXimum Sound and digital projection serve a multiplex audience in a city that also nurtures a vigorous independent arts scene. The annual Handel Festival fills Halle with music each June, and the cinema provides year-round entertainment in the intervals between. Its screens are a steady presence in a city still writing its post-reunification chapter.
