CineStar Leipzig

Petersbogen, Petersstraße 44, 04109 Leipzig

In the Petersbogen shopping arcade on Leipzig's Petersstraße, CineStar commands a city-centre location in one of Germany's most culturally dynamic cities, now enhanced by the addition of an IMAX screen in Screen 8, opened in August 2025. Leipzig's extraordinary musical heritage — Bach, Mendelssohn, the Gewandhaus, the Thomaskirche — is matched by its role in modern history as the cradle of the 1989 Peaceful Revolution. The cinema sits at the southern end of the pedestrianised shopping core, where Gründerzeit architecture and contemporary commerce coexist in typically Leipzig fashion. The IMAX auditorium brings a new dimension to the city's cinema landscape, offering large-format experiences that previously required a journey to Dresden or Berlin. Leipzig's young, creative population — drawn by affordable rents and a thriving arts scene — provides an audience that is both adventurous and loyal. It is a cinema that has grown with its city, and the IMAX addition marks its most ambitious chapter yet.
