The Cineplex Rundkino stands out for its circular glass and concrete structure, a stark departure from the traditional rectangular theater boxes common in postwar architecture. Built in nineteen seventy-two, it served as a premier cinematic venue for East Germany, featuring a rotunda that allowed for a panoramic lobby experience. Its architect, Manfred Arlt, designed the building to sit directly at the busy intersection of Prager Strasse, placing the theater at the center of the city’s socialist urban redevelopment project.
