Our locations

The Schauburg is one of Bremen’s art house cinemas and is located in the heart of the Viertel. The classic cinema façade, on which the film titles are still placed on a light panel, invites you to watch. In any case, the cinema stands out with its bright neon signs and colorful lighting.

Cinema lovers can feel the charm of old and new productions from movie posters, some of them also painted above the front door. In the cozy café area, physical and mental well-being is taken care of with cakes and drinks, for example. And once you have decided on a movie from numerous countries and the wide selection of film genres, a detour to Schauburg’s “Bar Tabac” is a nice option.

It’s one of the highlights of Bremen´s Viertel!

Theater Bremen is an integral part of Bremen’s cultural landscape and functions as both a municipal theater and a four-section theater. You can’t miss it at the wall entrance to Bremen´s Viertel. Apart from the imposing main auditorium on Goetheplatz it also offers its visitors a variety of other venues such as the Kleine Haus, the Brauhaus and the Brauhauskeller. Each of these venues has its own charm. The children’s and youth theater section is located in the Brauhaus.

It exists not only to provide entertainment, but also to stimulate intellectual and emotional exchange. The theater sees itself as a platform for aesthetic and political reflections on the challenges and joys of modern city life. This is why it also has a special significance beyond the region.

Every year, more than 30 premieres and over 600 performances are presented, including not only plays and operas but also concerts and events.

There is something to find for everyone!

Since its foundation in 1969, the Cinema im Ostertor has firmly established itself in Bremen’s cinematic cultural landscape, as one of the pioneers of the arthouse cinema concept in Germany.

From 1973 to 1993, the Cinema im Ostertor served as the home of Bremen’s communal cinema (now at City 46), offering a platform for films outside the mainstream and bringing film enthusiasts together.

Over the years, the cinema has been run by the Settje family, who have preserved the legacy of the cinema in Ostertor. Their commitment made the Cinema im Ostertor not only a place to enjoy films, but also an important cultural centre for the community. In September 2023, the cinema entered a new chapter in its history when it was included in the group of Bremer Filmkunsttheater. Today, Cinema im Ostertor offers space for 120 viewers. After the movie, visitors can relax with a drink in the joint foyer of the cinema and Heldenbar and reflect on the evening. It is a place where the joy of cinema can be experienced in all its facets.
