Open-Air-Kino: Köln 75

In the organizer's words:

It's summer, and the outdoor pool at Brauweg is hosting our annual open-air cinema: watch movies under the stars, and swim, bathe and picnic beforehand - outdoor pool AND cinema, every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, from July 3 to August 30. As always, you are welcome to bring your own blankets and picnic utensils, but drinks, snacks and popcorn will also be provided in the outdoor pool. You can sit on the large lawn, and there are chairs for those who find the ground too uncomfortable.

Admission is from 8pm (Saturday from 7.30pm), and if you buy your tickets in advance (online here via our website or at our box offices), you'll help us keep the queues short. The screenings start at dusk, the approximate starting times can be found in the program booklet and when booking tickets online here on this page.

KÖLN 75 tells the stirring and true story of the rebellious 18-year-old Vera Brandes, who confidently and passionately puts everything on the line to realize her dream. Against the wishes of her conservative parents, she books the Cologne Opera House at her own risk to bring Keith Jarrett to Cologne for a concert in January 1975. She doesn't know it yet, but this improvised lesson at the piano, which threatens to fail until the very end, is immortalized on record and regarded by many as one of the most popular works of art of the 20th century: Keith Jarrett's "The Köln Concert" became the most successful solo jazz release of all time, selling over 4 million copies.
