Saal 1 Küchlin Variete

The Küchlin Varieté Theater stands as a remarkable testament to Basel’s rich history and was once renowned worldwide for its dazzling revues and international stars. Even today, Saal1 shines with renewed splendor, following an extensive renovation in 2006 that transformed it into a state-of-the-art multiplex cinema. In 2024, the interior of the halls was once again modernized and restored to preserve its historic charm while incorporating the latest technology.

Saal1 now seamlessly combines the rich tradition of the Küchlin with contemporary offerings, serving as a vibrant meeting place for cinema and culture enthusiasts of all ages. Under the leadership of Oliver Martinez, who has taken over the cinema, Saal1 represents an unparalleled cinematic experience and a multifunctional, flexible space that accommodates a wide range of events and cultural gatherings while honoring the heritage and cultural diversity of this historic venue.
