    Augsburger Puppenkiste - Als der Weihnachtsmann vom Himmel fiel

    When a thunderstorm causes problems on Christmas day, Santa Claus Niklas Julebukk is forced to make a dangerous emergency landing. Niklas Julebukk may still be relatively young, but he's already a real Santa Claus. Unfortunately, he is now stranded with his caravan, the goblins Flybeard and Goatee, the reindeer Shooting Star and even the little angel Matilda. Because Julebukk also does not want to participate in the new-fangled custom of giving children expensive presents, he is also threatened by the nasty Waldemar Wichteltod. Luckily, the two courageous children Ben and Charlotte help him. Together they can save Christmas Eve from the mean gnome and his nutcrackers.

How current is the programme?

Data is scraped multiple times a day directly from cinema websites. Cancellations, sold-out flags and programme changes usually surface within an hour.

Can I buy tickets here?

No — the Tickets button on each screening links directly to the cinema's own booking page. This site doesn't sell tickets and takes no commission.

What do OmU, OmeU, DF, OV, DCP, 35mm mean?

Language version: OmU = original audio with German subtitles, OmeU = original with English subtitles, DF = German-dubbed version, OV = original version with no subtitles, stumm = silent film (often with live accompaniment). Projection format: DCP = Digital Cinema Package, the digital standard in modern cinemas; 35mm / 16mm / 70mm = analogue film prints on physical stock.

What happens to screenings that have already started?

On today's view, screenings are hidden 30 minutes after their start time, so only reachable showtimes remain visible. A small note at the bottom shows how many have already begun.

Why this site?

Frankfurt has an unusually dense cinema scene — the DFF Filmmuseum, Astor, three arthouse houses, Pupille at the university, Programmkino Rex in Darmstadt, the Murnau in Wiesbaden — but no shared programme. This site lays every house onto one searchable day view.

How do push notifications work?
