Open Air Kino FOKUS Osnabrück

Summer Cinema in the Ziegenbrink District

The Open Air Kino FOKUS is one of those formats that show how vibrant the district culture in Osnabrück is. On the outdoor grounds of the GZ Ziegenbrink, a community center in the south of the city, the FOKUS e.V. association sets up a professional open-air screen every summer. Seating, sound technology, and a small bar transform the forecourt into a cozy cinema evening.

2026 Program — Three Thursday Evenings

The selected films will be shown on three consecutive Thursdays in August:

• August 13, 2026: Hundschuldig — North German comedy
• August 20, 2026: Der Pinguin meines Lebens — Family drama
• August 27, 2026: Der Held vom Bahnhof Friedrichstraße — Historical drama

The selection reflects the curatorial profile of the association: German-language productions with social or historical relevance, which often have only short screening times in multiplex cinemas.

Atmosphere and Schedule

Admission from 8:30 PM each evening, as soon as dusk sets in. Film start around 9:15 PM — exact start depends on daylight conditions. Admission is a low five euros per evening. Blankets and warm clothing are recommended, as summer nights in Lower Saxony can be cool. Loungers and benches are provided by the organizer; folding chairs may be brought along.

FOKUS e.V. as Organizer

The association FOKUS e.V. is a central player in independent cultural work in Osnabrück. In addition to the Open Air Kino, it organizes the Folk-im-Viertel festival, concert series, and educational programs. Its roots in the Ziegenbrink/Schölerberg district ensure a loyal audience from the neighborhood, students from the nearby university, and cinephiles from all over the city.
