Ortenaustraße 14, 76532 Baden-Baden
Baden-Baden, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as one of Europe's great spa cities, has been a destination for the international elite since Roman times. The Cineplex on Ortenaustraße serves a community whose cultural infrastructure — the Festspielhaus, the Museum Frieder Burda, the Kurhaus casino — would be remarkable for a city ten times its size. The Black Forest rises immediately behind the town, and the Oos valley funnels visitors from across the Rhine plain toward its thermal springs and cultural institutions. In a city where Dostoevsky gambled, Brahms composed, and European aristocracy once spent entire seasons, the cinema is simply the newest venue in a very long tradition of cultivated spectatorship.
