  4. Der Klang von Neuschwanstein

    Where King Ludwig II once dreamed of the union of architecture and music, great voices ring out once again today. After a long silence, Neuschwanstein is once more becoming a space for sound. Against the backdrop of Neuschwanstein Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, concerts featuring international soloists become an extraordinary experience. “The Sound of Neuschwanstein” transforms this unique place into a stage in its own right—and turns its history into a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience. “The Sound of Neuschwanstein” tells the story of a place that, like no other, embodies the fusion of art, architecture, and vision. King Ludwig II once had Neuschwanstein Castle built as a resonant stage for Richard Wagner’s music—a place where his longing for an ideal world was to be fulfilled. Yet this dream remained unfulfilled.

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?

Frankfurt 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.
