The Marmorhaus (English: Marble House) was a cinema that used to be located on the Kurfürstendamm in Berlin. Opened in 1913, it takes its name from a large marble façade. Designed by the architect Hugo Pál, the walls of the foyer and auditorium were decorated by the expressionist artist Cesar Klein. [1]
During the silent era it was a common venue for premieres of new films. These included The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, [2] Johannes Goth, [3] The Woman in Heaven, [4] The Head of Janus, [5] Genuine, [6] Four Around a Woman, [7] Wandering Souls, [8] and The Haunted Castle. [9]
Owned by the giant UFA company for many years, it was later developed into a multiplex. In 2001 the cinema was closed, and the property sold off.
