General information about the Open Air Cinema
The films will be screened in German language.
The open-air cinema takes place in the castle courtyard whatever the weather. There is free seating in the castle courtyard. It is not possible to reserve a seat. Snacks and drinks are available from the kiosk in the castle garden. Oven-fresh popcorn is available in the castle courtyard.
Even on warm summer days, it can get a little chilly in the evenings at the castle. We recommend that you bring warm clothes/blankets/cushions. The event takes place in all weathers. In the event of rain, we recommend that you bring a rain jacket. Umbrellas are not permitted in the seating area as they obstruct the view of other spectators.
This event is organised and run by Zollernalb-Kinos (not by Hohenzollern Castle). The regular Hohenzollern Castle ticket options (e.g. free tickets, Friends of Hohenzollern Castle membership, Black Forest Plus Card etc.) are therefore not valid for this event.
During this event, photos and videos may be taken and published as part of press coverage (TV, print media, digital media, social media). If you do not wish to be photographed/filmed, please speak to the camera staff.
