The cinema was launched in 1907 and operated continuously until April 2019. Its founder was Carl Gabriel, an enthusiast of new technologies and "living images". He ran his facility until he died in 1931, and after him, the place was taken over by the Büche family, who showed films to viewers for the next four generations. The reason for closing this unique place was the difficult situation of the Büche family, which was forced to sell the building.
