Cineplex Royal Fritzlar

Fritzlar, one of Hesse's oldest towns, is where Saint Boniface felled the sacred oak of the Germanic god Donar in 723, an act traditionally regarded as a founding moment of Christian Germany. The Cineplex Royal occupies a modest venue in this deeply historical small town, whose intact medieval walls and Romanesque cathedral give it a gravity that larger Hessian cities cannot claim. The audience here is drawn from the surrounding Schwalm-Eder countryside, a pastoral landscape of half-timbered villages and gently rolling farmland. The Royal in its name hints at aspirations that transcend the provincial, appropriate for a town whose history shaped a continent.
