Neunkircher Cinetower: Return without operator Timo Simon

The Cinetower cinema in the Water Tower of Neunkirchen is faced with a significant change. The operator Timo Simon, who has a deep personal connection to this cinema, announces that he will not extend his lease. This marks the final end of his dream of leading its own cinema, which is particularly painful for him.

"The cinema has always been a matter close to my heart as well as my father," said Timo Simon. These emotional words reflect the passion that he had for the place, which for many was not just a simple place for films, but a space for community and culture.

background of the decision

Timo Simon explained that the decision to give up the cinema was influenced by various factors. The economic situation is tense, and the conditions under which he operated the cinema have become increasingly challenging. In recent years it has been a constant challenge to maintain the financing and at the same time to secure the quality of the offer.

For Simon, who has invested a lot of time and energy in Cinetower, this step is more than just a business withdrawal: "It feels like I was leaving part of myself," he added. This emotional load shows how strong the connection between the operator and his cinema is. Simon also speaks of a time when the cinema was a central part of the life of the people here when films were experienced in community.

The Cinetower cinema will not be closed forever. There are plans to reopen the cinema this year under new management. The new operators could bring a breath of fresh air to the company, but Timo Simon's absence is undoubtedly left traces. The question that many arises is whether the new line can preserve the spirit and atmosphere of the Cinetower, which Simon has cultivated for years.

The course for reopening has already been set, and the anticipation for the return of the cinema is noticeable among the citizens of Neunkirchen. These changes could also be an opportunity to implement innovative ideas and concepts in order to make the cinema back into a cultural center.

There are many in Neunkirchen who appreciate the Cinetower for various reasons - be it for the films that are shown there, or simply as a place where you can meet friends. The end of Simon's term of office is therefore not only a loss for him personally, but also for the community that has created a variety of memories over the years.

The coming months will be crucial to see how the Cinetower cinema will develop under new leadership and whether it can succeed in continuing the charm and traditions that Simon has established. The city and its cinema supporters hope for a positive meeting with the new operator and that the cinetower will continue to play an important role in the cultural life of Neunkirchen.
