Prager Str. 6, 01069 Dresden
The Rundkino on Prager Straße in Dresden opened on 7 October 1972, the national holiday of the German Democratic Republic. Gerhard Landgraf and Winfried Sziegoleit designed it as a cylinder fifty metres in diameter and twenty metres high. The facade combines a glazed ground floor, steel lattice ornaments and enamelled aluminium panels. The Grand Hall originally seated over a thousand and now holds 898. It is one of the most significant post-war buildings in a city known for its rebuilt baroque.
