Berlin’s Kino International to Offer Guided Tours of Renovation Site

The historic cinema, closed for renovations since May 2024, remains on schedule for a mid-2026 reopening with tours planned for May 10, 2025.

The Kino International, a landmark of post-war modernist architecture, has been closed since May 2024 for extensive renovations.
Guided tours of the construction site are scheduled for May 10, 2025, as part of the Day of Urban Development Promotion, offering the public a glimpse into the renovation process.
Participants in the tours must register in advance and wear sturdy footwear due to ongoing construction work.
The renovation project, which includes updates to electrical, ventilation, and sound systems, is progressing on schedule and within budget.
The cinema, once the premiere venue of East Germany, is expected to reopen in mid-2026, preserving its cultural and architectural significance.
