Schlemmerkino am Schönberg Grafenwöhr

Schlemmerkino as an Oberpfalz Format

The Schlemmerkino am Schönberg is more than just an open-air cinema: it combines film culture with gastronomy to create its own unique format. While other open-air cinemas focus solely on film screenings, the Schlemmerkino offers a gastronomic pre-show every evening starting at 6 PM. Appetizer, main course, drinks at Colella's Catering — and around 8:30 PM, the film begins under the starry sky.

Schönberg as a Stage

The Schönberg in Grafenwöhr is a viewpoint hill on the edge of the Oberpfalz town, offering a natural amphitheater-like topography for the open-air stage. Films are projected onto a large screen, and spectators sit on benches in a semi-circle. In case of rain, the venue is quickly moved to the Stadthalle Grafenwöhr — the concept remains the same, only the backdrop changes.

Film Program 2026

Six film evenings from August 18 to 23, 2026 — a different film each evening. The program focuses on current German films, often with a Bavarian touch. The highlight of the 2026 program is the new Eberhofer crime film »Steckerlfischfiasko« — the continuation of the successful film series based on the novels by Rita Falk. Other films from the current German and international program complete the lineup.

Grafenwöhr and the Oberpfalz

Grafenwöhr in the Neustadt an der Waldnaab district is primarily known for its US Army training area, which has existed since 1907 and is one of the largest in Europe. However, the town also maintains a vibrant cultural program: alongside the Volksfest and the Christkindlmarkt, the Schlemmerkino am Schönberg is one of the central summer highlights.

Organizer Trio

Behind the Schlemmerkino is a proven Oberpfalz trio: the city of Grafenwöhr as the sponsor, the Neue-Welt-Kino Weiden as the film distributor and cinema professional, and Colella's Catering for the gastronomy. This division of labor makes the format efficient and ensures high quality in both areas.
