In January of this year, Christopher Bausch, a native of Kronberg, took over the management of the CINEMA cinema at Roßmarkt and the HARMONIE in Sachsenhausen from Harald Vogel. The 37-year-old knows a thing or two about cinema, having opened Aschaffenburg's CASINO cinema in 2004, creating a very special place for arthouse lovers. So Vogel has definitely put his cinemas in the right hands. So far, however, the new management had only made itself felt through an expansion of the program offer, especially in the three halls of the CINEMA. But now there is also a very noticeable visual and atmospheric change in the popular cinema on Roßmarkt. The renovation of the adjacent hotel made it necessary to redesign the foyer and entrance area. Bausch took the opportunity to put his own stamp on the cinema. And it really is something to behold.
Even though the remodeling work could not be completely finished during the cinema's closure of several weeks, the new foyer already leaves an extremely positive impression. The reception area is now significantly larger, appears warmer and more inviting. In addition to a bench, which will be installed shortly, there are bistro tables and stools where people can wait to be admitted to the auditorium. The gastronomic offer has been extended and the sales counter has been lengthened. Small details like a handwritten sign in the middle of the counter or the sweets offered on an etagere or in glasses give the foyer a very individual character. As a guest, you really feel welcome here right away and can shake off the stress of everyday life even before the film starts - much better, at least, than was the case in the old, considerably more cramped entrance area.
This redesign, like the expansion of the program, also shows that Christopher Bausch loves what he does. He sees cinema not just as a place to play films, but as a place to meet people and an opportunity to take some well-deserved time out - even if only for a few hours. And this is what the new foyer already radiates, despite the still missing pictures on the wall, the bench that has not yet been installed, or some parts of the walls that have not yet been plastered. The halls themselves will not be remodeled, as Harald Vogel invested a lot of money in new seating and new technology here only a few years ago. Nevertheless, it should be clear: The reconstruction of the foyer of the CINEMA should not be the last change with which Christopher Bausch will make the two cinemas and thus also the arthouse scene in Frankfurt even more attractive. We are excited!
