In the city centre, walking distance from Ostkreuz you find yourself suddenly in the middle of an urban wilderness: industry, open spaces, and non-renovated quietness. Here are the former grounds of the DEFA film storage facility where Haus ZUKUNFT shows its repertory cinema. In addition one can find in Zukunft: the open-air cinema Pompeji, a theatre, a theatre bar with live music, the gallery Bildersaal, TIEFGRUND with live concerts, the Waldgarten with an open-air stage, and its own brewery – with a beer garden of course.
