Gloria Stuttgart

The Gloria opened in 1956, the last of the three cinemas the Mertz family built into the rebuilt Marquardt block after the war, and it is the big house of the group. Two auditoriums of 404 and 373 seats sit on the first and second floors above the counter, reached from Königstraße through the Gloria-Passage, a few steps from Schlossplatz. Gloria 2 is fitted with Dolby Atmos — for years the only such auditorium in Stuttgart — and the size of the rooms makes this the city centre's festival venue: the Internationales Trickfilm-Festival and the SWR Doku Festival both play here. The programme runs from wide releases to arthouse, and close to a third of the screenings on the schedule are in the original language rather than dubbed.
