<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 199762, member: 33"]In the German version of a Wikipedia article about Cologne's Hohe Strasse there is a paragraph about theatres in the city. Using the Google translator I see that there was a theatre called <b>Cinema-Palais</b> at <b>No. 3</b> Hohe Strasse. There was also a theatre called <b>Germania-Lichtspiele</b> at <b>No. 9</b> Hohe Strasse. Both were opened in 1909, and apparently were still there 10 years later.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a link to the article in German.</p><p><a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohe_Stra%C3%9Fe_(K%C3%B6ln)" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohe_Stra%C3%9Fe_(K%C3%B6ln)" rel="nofollow">https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohe_Straße_(Köln)</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the rather stilted and somewhat inaccurate English translation of that one paragraph:</p><p>"On the Hohe Strasse there were two important Cologne theaters.
