Cinema under the open sky
LUX Freilicht brings cinema to places where it's rarely found: atmospheric locations in Bremen-Nord, under the summer sky. Over several weeks – usually from early July to early September – the series moves from one venue to another, combining a film screening with music each evening for a special open-air experience. Screenings typically begin around 7 PM, as soon as dusk sets in.
Special locations in Bremen-Nord
The events take place at locations with their own history and atmosphere: the banks of the Lesum near TURA Kanusport at Lesumhafen, the sculpture garden of Haus Kränholm, the garden of Schloss Schönebeck, the banks of the Weser, the Ökologiestation at Gütpohl, the Denkort Bunker Valentin, the campus of Constructor University, and Schillerplatz in Blumenthal. This transforms Bremen-Nord into a distributed open-air cinema throughout the summer, linking film culture with the district's most beautiful spots.
Theme and concept
The films are carefully curated and follow an annual thematic focus. In 2025, the relationship between humans and nature was the central theme – with titles like Where the Rivers Disappear or Flow. In 2026, the program will focus on science and the search for knowledge and meaning. Politically conscious, sophisticated cinema rather than pure entertainment: this is the hallmark of the series. Complemented by live music, it creates an evening program that is more than just watching a film.
- When: Summer (around July to September), starting around 7 PM
- Where: Changing open-air locations in Bremen-Nord
- Admission: Free for all events
- Organizer: Arbeitnehmerkammer Bremen with many partners
Summer in Bremen-Nord
Bremen-Nord, with Lesum, Schönebeck, Vegesack, Burglesum, and Blumenthal, lies between the Weser and Lesum rivers, characterized by water, parks, and maritime industrial history. The fact that the Arbeitnehmerkammer Bremen – the statutory representative body for employees in the state of Bremen – is responsible for this cinema underscores its accessible, cultural policy ambition: LUX Freilicht makes special places experienceable as summer cultural venues, free of charge and open to all. In 2025, eight evenings attracted around 915 visitors – a growing trend.

In its 2026 edition, LUX Freilicht presents eight evenings: July 8 at the Lesum riverbank (TURA Kanusport), July 16 in the Haus Kränholm sculpture garden, July 24 in the garden of Schloss Schönebeck, July 25 on the Weser riverbank (Kanuclub Rönnebeck), July 27 at the Ökologiestation, July 30 at the Denkort Bunker Valentin, August 27 at the Constructor University campus, and September 9 on Schillerplatz (DOKU Blumenthal). Each evening combines film and music; in 2026, the focus is on science and the search for knowledge and meaning. Admission is free.
