The Marlene-Dietrich-Halle with its rich tradition was built in 1926 for Fritz Lang’s Metropolis and has functioned since then as a backdrop for numerous film classics, such as Frau im Mond (English title Woman in the Moon) or The Blue Angel. Impressive sets are constructed in the sound stage to this day. In the last years among others for Inglourious Basterds, Unknown Identity, The Ghost Writer, Cloud Atlas, A Cure for Wellness, Homeland or Babylon Berlin.
