During the period April 1960 – January 1973 the Regina operated as a so-called non-stop theater. During the hours of 10AM – 7PM a program of short films, including newsreels, was shown in a loop so the film goer could come at any time. In the evening regular films were shown at 7 and 9 PM. It is estimated that the Regina hosted more than 5 million viewers during it’s non-stop period. It was one of many theaters of this type which were popular in Germany at the time.
