Odeum cinema (Spandau)

The "Odeum Lichtspiele"  in Spandau was founded and operated by Jewish owners around 1920. The cinema was housed in a building of the hotel "Roter Adler" in the style of the post-founder period. The building had two dance halls, one of which was used for theater performances as early as 1888, hence the name "Neues Stadttheater". The cinema performances took place in the other hall. In the twenties the cinema was called "Ufa-Lichtspiele" and towards the end "Odeum-Lichtspiele" until the fifties. In 1952 the name was changed again to "Odeon-Filmtheater". In 1963 it was demolished and a Hertie department store was built on it.
