About

Experience the magic of the original versions at the Odeon, Berlin's first and premier cinema destination. Since its inception, the Odeon has remained true to its commitment to showcasing films exclusively in their original languages, without German dubbing. And with recent renovations including luxurious new seats, a state-of-the-art sound system, and stunning modern laser projection, the Odeon is the ultimate destination for both loud and quiet films.

History

From the outside, the simple bungalow doesn't look that big, but it offers space for 265 guests and a surprisingly wide movie screen. The American vibe of foyer and auditorium is emphasized with salty popcorn and the lovingly maintained celebrity wall. Since 1985, the Odeon has shown exclusively original versions without German dubbing. The change was a novelty at the time. Until then, original versions had only been shown in the non-public cinemas of the Allied soldiers, and there only after a considerable delay. Among the first guests were friends and families of stationed Allied soldiers, but also numerous Berliners discovered their love for cinema in the original version over the years. No wonder then that Odeon has gathered a dedicated international fan base throughout the decades.And everyone willing to talk further about a film will find a warm welcome just around the corner in one of the many nice pubs in the Akazienkiez.
