Bayerstraße 3-5, 80335 München
The Mathaeser Filmpalast on Bayerstraße is Munich's largest cinema, with fourteen screens and over 4,000 seats. The site has been used for entertainment since 1690, when the first beer hall opened here. Its halls once seated 4,000 drinkers, and Kurt Eisner proclaimed the Free State of Bavaria here in 1918. The first Mathaeser Filmpalast opened in 1957 as West Germany's largest single-screen cinema, with a screen 21 metres wide. It was demolished, and after four years of construction the present multiplex opened in May 2003. It holds Germany's first Dolby Cinema, IMAX, 4DX with motion seats and atmospheric effects, and Dolby Atmos throughout. The building stands directly beside Munich Hauptbahnhof.
One of four Dolby Cinema auditoriums in Germany.
At 732 seats the largest room in the house, and the only one in the group with THX.
