Cinema under Gothic Brick

The Marienkino is one of the most original cultural series in the Hanseatic city of Wismar in the Nordwestmecklenburg district of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Screenings are held in the tower of St. Mary's Church – a mighty brick building that shapes the cityscape. The historic space lends each film screening an atmosphere that no ordinary cinema can offer.

Every Last Wednesday of the Month

The series follows a fixed rhythm: On the last Wednesday of each month, the Hanseatic city of Wismar invites you to a screening, usually starting at 7:00 PM, with admission from 6:30 PM. This creates a small, regular film series for cinephiles and curious visitors throughout the year.

Classics and Films with a Wismar Connection

The program focuses on film classics, regional productions, and works related to the city and region – including literary adaptations and films partly shot in Wismar. Thus, the Marienkino combines film culture with the city's history and architectural heritage.

An Experience in the World Heritage Site

Because seating is limited in the church tower, early booking is recommended. The Marienkino is listed in the Hanseatic city's event calendar as a recurring highlight and a good reason to get to know the UNESCO World Heritage site of Wismar from an unusual perspective.
