Cinenova

The former UPS package station is now home to modern cinema halls, a restaurant, a beer garden, and an open-air cinema. For 20 years, the Cinenova has been an integral part of Cologne's Ehrenfeld district, hosting premieres, previews, and film series. As a member of "Europa Cinemas," approximately 70% of its program features European film productions.
