We present five **special** **cinemas** in **Leipzig** that exude their very own charm. Schauburg **"The most comfortable cinema seats in Leipzig"** can be found in the in the south-western district of **Kleinzschocher**. It's not just the interior design that harks back to the days of the first movie theaters. The building **am Adler**, built in 1928 for the Rudolf-Filmverleih, was designed by architect Hermann Mäding in the **Art Déco** style. There is space for three auditoriums and 435 seats. In addition to sophisticated films and current movies, there is a family cinema on weekend afternoons with children's films and "The Monday Original" at the start of the week. The films are then shown in the original language with or without subtitles. The Schauburg strives for the motto "Sophisticated films in large and comfortable auditoriums at fair prices" - and this is exactly what makes the theater an **absolute insider tip** in Leipzig's cinema landscape. - Schauburg Leipzig - Cinemas in Leipzig ### Our recommendations - Cinema Regina Palace The is located in the east of Reudnitz.
