Rosengasse 15, 89073 Ulm
The Mephisto on Rosengasse in Ulm, named for the tempter in Goethe's Faust, operates as an arthouse cinema affiliated with the Theater Ulm, screening films that complement the theatre's current productions. Its location in Ulm's old quarter, a short walk from the Muenster and the Fischerviertel with its leaning half-timbered houses along the Blau river, places it at the cultural centre of a city that balances medieval heritage with a renowned tradition in science and engineering. The Mephisto's programme favours world cinema, documentary, and auteur work, selected with a curatorial intelligence that distinguishes it from the mainstream houses across the Danube. It is a cinema for those who believe that the devil, as always, is in the details.
