  3. Der Klang von Neuschwanstein

    Musik – Sprache der Welt

    Wo einst König Ludwig II. von der Verbindung von Architektur und Musik träumte, erklingen heute wieder große Stimmen. Nach langer Stille wird Neuschwanstein neu zum Klangraum. Vor der Kulisse des UNESCO-Weltkulturerbes Schloss Neuschwanstein werden Konzerte mit internationalen Solist:innen zu einem außergewöhnlichen Erlebnis. „Der Klang von Neuschwanstein“ macht diesen einzigartigen Ort selbst zur Bühne – und seine Geschichte zu einem einzigartigen Kinoerlebnis. „Der Klang von Neuschwanstein“ erzählt die Geschichte eines Ortes, der wie kein anderer für die Verbindung von Kunst, Architektur und Vision steht. König Ludwig II. ließ Schloss Neuschwanstein einst als klingende Bühne für die Musik Richard Wagners errichten – ein Ort, an dem sich seine Sehnsucht nach einer idealen Welt erfüllen sollte. Doch dieser Traum blieb unvollendet.

    Vater, unser bestes Stück

    In memoriam Heidi Brühl

    Vater, unser bestes Stück is a German comedy film by director Günther Lüders. The movie is about a highly stable marital bliss and fleeting parental worries. The director bravely keeps the mood in check and almost completely shuts out the mischievousness in favor of permissible jokes. Ewald Balser turns the child-rich university professor into the dream figure of a chivalrous and guileless man.

Frequently asked01 — 07

Which cinemas are covered?

Currently 3 cinemas and film series in Mainz and the surrounding area: Murnau-Filmtheater, Capitol Arthouse Kino Mainz and Caligari FilmBühne.

How current is the programme?

Data is scraped multiple times a day directly from cinema websites. Cancellations, sold-out flags and programme changes usually surface within an hour.

Can I buy tickets here?

No — the Tickets button on each screening links directly to the cinema's own booking page. This site doesn't sell tickets and takes no commission.

What do OmU, OmeU, DF, OV, DCP, 35mm mean?

Language version: OmU = original audio with German subtitles, OmeU = original with English subtitles, DF = German-dubbed version, OV = original version with no subtitles, stumm = silent film (often with live accompaniment). Projection format: DCP = Digital Cinema Package, the digital standard in modern cinemas; 35mm / 16mm / 70mm = analogue film prints on physical stock.

What happens to screenings that have already started?

On today's view, screenings are hidden 30 minutes after their start time, so only reachable showtimes remain visible. A small note at the bottom shows how many have already begun.

Why this site?

Mainz has an unusually dense cinema scene — the DFF Filmmuseum, Astor, three arthouse houses, Pupille at the university, Programmkino Rex in Darmstadt, the Murnau in Wiesbaden — but no shared programme. This site lays every house onto one searchable day view.
