Summer cinema under the open sky in the Kreuzgarten of St. Michael
When the Kreuzgarten on the Michaelsberg transforms into a screen under the open sky, a stage experience of a special kind emerges: not theater in the classical sense, but an atmospheric open-air cinema with the aura of a historical location that shines again after renovation. On Sunday, May 31, 2026, at 7:30 PM, Pastor Braun: Braun Under Suspicion will be screened – with free admission, free seating, and a deliberately limited number of 150 seats per film. Doors open at 7:00 PM. ([radio-bamberg.de](https://www.radio-bamberg.de/aktionen/wiedereroeffnung-st-michael-in-bamberg/?utm_source=openai))
An evening between monastery walls and cinema flair
The Kreuzgarten of the Klosteranlage St. Michael provides the backdrop for three days of films that reference Bamberg, the Michelsberg, and the monastery theme. This is precisely where the charm lies: the theater atmosphere of a special place meets the lightness of summer cinema. The audience experiences large images, open air, and the tranquility of a place that breathes history.

Program related to the city and the monastery complex
The open-air cinema includes family films in the afternoon and well-known stories in the evening during the weekend from May 29 to May 31, 2026. On May 31, at 4:00 PM, The Flying Classroom (1973) with Joachim Fuchsberger and at 7:30 PM Pastor Braun: Braun Under Suspicion with Ottfried Fischer are scheduled. It is precisely this mix of nostalgia, recognition, and local anchoring that makes the evening attractive.
