“The Rundkino Dresden has been a striking building in Dresden since 1972. It is located on Prager Straße and, as a rotunda, has a diameter of 50 meters and a height of 20 meters. It is the third cylindrical building in the GDR and the first of its kind for the public. Due to its architecture and the Great Hall, which now has 898 seats (originally 1,018 seats), the circular cinema is one of the most important buildings of post-war modernism in Dresden. The Great Hall has the largest cinema screen in Saxony. Before the Lecture Hall Center was put into operation, it also served as a lecture hall for the Technical University of Dresden at large events. In addition to the cinema with six screens, the building also housed a puppet theatre that belonged to the Theater Junge Generation.” (Rundkino Dresden, Wikipedia)
