Alabama Kino
Alabama Kino sits inside the Kampnagel cultural center in Hamburg-Winterhude, combining repertory cinema with the surrounding theatre setting. Wheelchair access makes the cinema easier to reach. Independent films, breakfast matinees, and productions connected to Kampnagel shape what you can see there.
The story reaches back to Eidelstedter Lichtspiele, founded by Wilhelmine Bolt in 1935 on Kieler Straße. Erwin Bolt later took charge of the cinema there. After wartime destruction forced a temporary move, Hans-Peter Jansen and Michael Conrad renamed it Alabama in 1977. Trash films and horror films filled its early programme. That tradition produced Gore-Night, the Hamburg Trickfilmfestival, and a founding role for Hamburg’s Fantasy Filmfest.
After closing in 1992, the cinema returned in 1993 on the Kampnagel site with a broader programme. Children’s and youth films run during the day. Original-language screenings with German subtitles share the room with a digital projector, a Bauer U4C 35mm projector, and Dolby SR sound. Its Kamphöner seating preserves a tangible connection between cinema history and the working cultural centre around it.
