Bowlingtreff
“In 1987, the Leipzig Bowlingtreff opened, extraordinary, postmodern and unique in the GDR. The film portrays knowledgeably and lovingly the house and its special history.”
Synopsis

Houses collapsed because of poor conditions, public life and amusement was on a very low level. The “Bowlingtreff” was not merely an urban entertainment centre but a revolution in those days. Built with the help of hundreds of volunteers without permission of the state authorities in Berlin the building expresses a free and international architecture known as postmodernism. It is an architecture that was never seen before in Leipzig. Marble and parquet on the floor, a glass roof and beautiful pink pillars. The atmosphere was western as time witnesses remember it.
