How was it … the first drive-in cinema at the exhibition center in Freiburg? – Brhl

The first impression

It becomes clear that the drive-in experience is not quite as it is in American films when the QR ticket is scanned through the closed window of the car. It has never been so easy to legally eat the snacks you have brought to the cinema or to have a loud conversation during a visit to the cinema without being “pissed off”.

In front of the screen

The dozen or so cars that lined up in front of the big screen offer an unusual sight. It is silent outside, there is sound inside: because the audio is not transmitted via a loudspeaker system, but via a radio frequency. Contrary to all fears, the reception works very well right away. Also (real, non-Dixi) toilets are taken care of and the organization was flawless.

The public

Fortunately, although some drivers started the engine early so as not to strain the car battery due to the radio on, nobody had to be given a jump start. Although this is part of the service of the drive-in cinema, the public is free to decide whether a running engine is the best method or whether a bit of adventure after the film is perhaps the Freiburg way.

The atmosphere

A little piece of normality arises when watching a movie together with other people. Only the definite and friendly advice from the folder to keep the windows completely closed occasionally reminds us of the current protection against infection. If you still have inhibitions to go to the cinema alone, a visit to the drive-in cinema is just the thing for you. Because among the cineastes were not only couples, but also some solo watchers who enjoyed the spectacle.

Tips for next time

Important: a successful visit to the cinema needs to be well prepared, so here are some tips:

• 1. Take at least one comfortable pillow with you to optimize the standard car seat comfort.

–

• 3. Have you ever eaten chili con carne in the cinema?

–

• 4. Make your way in time to get a good seat, parking space.

–

• 5. To the cinema alone? Here we go!

Conclusion

This special visit to the cinema has paid off, especially in the current time when public events are exceptions. Entry for two people and one car costs 24 euros.
