About Marmorhaus

The Marmorhaus on Kurfürstendamm in Berlin-Charlottenburg is a historic building that was constructed as a movie theater in 1912 and 1913 to designs by Hugo Pál. Its name comes from the elegant five-story marble facade. Inside, you'll find striking Expressionist wall and ceiling paintings by César Klein as well as a colorful glass ceiling in the foyer. Originally used as a single movie theater, the building later housed several auditoriums and gained a reputation in the 1980s for its special film nights. After a comprehensive renovation in 1997, the theater closed in 2001 as competition from multiplex cinemas grew. Today, the landmarked building is home to international fashion and lifestyle chains.
