Autokino Ägeri Opens in Switzerland as German Open-Air Cinema Kicks Off in August 2026

The Autokino Ägeri near the Ägersee lake in Switzerland begins its season on 1 August 2026, offering a bilingual, open‑air cinema experience that can be accessed by car, foot, bike or even a glider. The programme includes daily live‑music performances, a family‑day on 5 August with free entry for up to 1,000 children, a nightly BULLI‑NIGHT VW‑bus event and a final show on 9 August. The venue is fully wheelchair‑accessible and provides on‑site catering, overnight camping and breakfast.

In Germany, an open‑air cinema programme also starts on 1 August 2026 at a tennis club near Burg Eppstein. The lineup features the comedy "Extrawurst" and other films such as "Das Kanu des Manitu," with tickets priced at €13. A side controversy arose over plans to provide a separate grill for the club’s sole Muslim member, sparking a broader debate among attendees. The German event includes QR‑code ticket sales, evening screenings after dark and catering provided by the local Burg actors.

Both events aim to combine cinema with community activities, live entertainment and inclusive access, marking a seasonal push for open‑air film experiences across the region.
