Wilhelmsstraße 2A, 34117 Kassel
The Capitol on Wilhelmsstraße in Kassel goes back to 1929, when the Stuttgart-based Palast-Lichtspiele AG opened a grand picture palace on the site. It was destroyed in the firestorms of 1943 and rebuilt in 1952 with twelve hundred seats, in the Streamline Deco style of the architect Paul Bode. Today it runs as a seven-screen Cineplex, in the city known for the documenta contemporary art exhibition, held every five years.
