Kinopolis Leverkusen

Friedrich-Ebert-Platz 3E, 51373 Leverkusen

Leverkusen, wedged between Cologne and the Rhine, is a city whose identity is inextricable from the Bayer chemical and pharmaceutical company that essentially created it. The Kinopolis on Friedrich-Ebert-Platz serves a population that is industrious, international in its workforce, and perennially underestimated by outsiders who know only the football club. The Rhine flows past the city's western edge, and the proximity of Cologne provides both cultural competition and easy access. In a city that often feels like a footnote to its larger neighbours, the cinema is a space where Leverkusen belongs entirely to itself.
