On this site was the cinema Noack-Lichtspiele, which, in addition to the Alhambra in Spandau and the Hohenzollern Games in Friedenau, was also run by Rudolf Pollak (1901-1937). The latter died in Vienna in 1937 as a result of an attack on him by Nazis that had occurred earlier in Berlin.

The cinema, which already existed since 1906, was destroyed in the Second World War in 1943 and then demolished.

On this site was the Hohenzollern Lichtspielhaus between 1912 and 1943. In the meantime, Rudolf Pollak (1901-1937) ran the cinema alongside the Alhambra Lichtspiele in Spandau and the Noak Lichtspiele in Mitte.  Rudolf Pollak died in Vienna in 1937 as a result of an attack on him by Nazis while still in Berlin.

Here was the Alhambra Lichtspielhaus, whose owners between 1930 and 1932 included Rudolf Pollak (1901-1937). Other cinemas managed by him were the Hohenzollern and the Noack Lichtspiele in Berlin. He died in Vienna in 1937 as a result of an attack on him by Nazis while still in Berlin.

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".
