    Sehr schöner kleiner Laden. Videothek mit Café und einem kleinen Kino. Ein Tipp für alle Cineasten, aber auch für Leute die einfach in gemütlicher Atmosphäre einen Kaffee trinken wollen. Leider gibt es so etwas kaum noch, und deswegen sollte man solche Läden unterstützen. (Translated by Google) Very nice little shop. Video store with a café and a small cinema. A tip for all cineastes, but also for people who just want to have a coffee in a cozy atmosphere. Unfortunately, there is hardly anything like that anymore, and that's why you should support such shops.

    (Translated by Google) Very special small shop, led by convinced cineastes. The screening room for films is very cozy, the audience is very interested in films apart from the mainstream, and so you can also quickly and informally into conversation. The video library I will try out next week, but also here the offer seemed extremely diverse and far from the mass taste. (Original) Sehr spezieller kleiner Laden, von überzeugten Cineasten geführt. Der Vorführraum für Filme ist urgemütlich, das Publikum sehr an Filmen abseits des Mainstreams interessiert, und so kommt man auch schnell und ungezwungen in's Gespräch. Die Videothek werde ich in der nächsten Woche mal ausprobieren, aber auch hier erschien mir das Angebot außerordentlich vielfältig und weitab vom Massengeschmack.

    It's nice and valuable that something like this still exists!! And even if you don't want to rent a DVD (or even VHS!!), it's worth a visit because of the small restaurants in this great setting. There are also film screenings and books. A real gem this shop - thank you for being here!!

  • 5/5 Natalie J. 1 year ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Hey, I was there for the first time today, actually just because I wanted to rent a film for a film seminar, but it will definitely be my new favorite place in Cologne. It's unbelievable that there is still a video store but in such a nice atmosphere with a small café and a cinema. The movie posters and even records on the wall just took me back in time. Awesome!!! ♥️ I really hope this store gets more attention. I will definitely recommend and share the shop... and I will now often spend time there between my seminars. Best regards Natalie

    Das erste mal da gewesen und finde es sehr schön, dass es sowas hier in Köln gibt, für alle Cineasten zu empfehlen und wie eine vorherige Rezension schon sagte, so etwas sollte man unterstützen und ich hoffe das die Traumathek noch mehr Aufmerksamkeit bekommt. Sehr coole Atmosphäre und eine perfekte Auswahl an Filmen, dazu noch ein Café, ein kleines Kino, freundliches und super Film Ambiente (Translated by Google) Been there for the first time and I think it's very nice that there is something like this here in Cologne, recommended for all cineastes and as a previous review said, something like this should be supported and I hope that the trauma library gets even more attention. Very cool atmosphere and a perfect selection of films, plus a café, small cinema, friendly and great film ambience

    (Translated by Google) I have been a member since 2003. This is the right shop for all cineastes! There is almost everything here. Very nice owner and a cool atmosphere in the shop. Such shops are unfortunately dying out. Let us hope that the trauma library will continue to exist. Netflix and Co can't keep up. It's so! (Original) Bin Mitglied seit 2003. Das ist der richtige Laden für alle Cineasten! Hier gibt es fast alles. Sehr nette Besitzerin und eine coole Atmosphäre im Laden. Solche Läden sterben leider aus. Wollen wir hoffen, daß die Traumathek weiter bestehen bleibt. Netflix und Co können da nicht mithalten. Ist so!

    (Translated by Google) The last mohawk among the video libraries bravely holds the position. Films that you do not even find on the internet but also the good stuff that does not stay in the cinema for too long. Good vibes. Whether they have the film of the last Mohawk probably in the Wersternabteilung? (Original) Der letzte Mohikaner unter den Videotheken hält tapfer die Stellung. Filme, die man selbst im Internet nicht findet im Angebot aber auch das gute Zeug, dass nicht allzu lange im Kino weilt. Gute Vibes. Ob sie den Film der letzte Mohikaner wohl auch haben in der Wersternabteilung?

    (Translated by Google) Great selection of films, something completely different. You can also warm and cold drinks in the front area of ​​the video store to take. The coffee tasted good and the atmosphere was really nice (movie posters on the wall, nice lamps etc.) (Original) Tolle Auswahl an Filmen, Mal was ganz anderes.

  • 5/5 Lennart G. 5 years ago on Google • 38 reviews
    Visited this small place for a screening of the movie "Perfect Blue" for the first time and I was positively surprised by my experience. The location is small, but very comfortable on homey. The staff is friendly and there is an incredible amount of classic DVDs and VHS for rent as well as regular screenings of classic movies. Drinks and snacks can be bought in the cafe. Great experience overall.

    For me, one of the most beautiful places in Cologne. Friendly staff, super fair prices, and a fantastic selection of films, especially if you're looking for entertainment outside of the mainstream.

    (Translated by Google) The Traumathek is actually a relic of bygone times. But at the same time it is a real "dream place" for every cineast. Here I get movies that are not found in the mass market, or belong to the treasures of film history. What can be more beautiful on a quiet, free evening than immersing yourself in these glorious worlds of international cinema ?! (Original) Die Traumathek ist ja eigentlich ein Relikt längst vergangener Zeiten. Doch gleichzeitig ist sie ein wirklicher "Traumort" für jeden Cineasten. Hier bekomme ich Filme, die im Massenmarkt nicht zu finden sind, oder zu den Schätzen der Filmgeschichte gehören. Was kann an einem ruhigen, freien Abend schöner sein, als das Eintauchen in diese herrlichen Welten des internationalen Kinos?!

    (Translated by Google) After the demise of the Berliner Videodroms, the best-assorted video library in D-land loosely! Over 15,000 films are waiting to be discovered, including a great many rarities and absurdities, documentaries, anime and of course many current films. An own, small cinema with top sound and picture and the café complete this great store, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year! (Original) Nach dem Ableben des Berliner Videodroms ganz locker die best- sortierteste Videothek in D-land! Über 15.000 Filme warten darauf, entdeckt zu werden, darunter sehr sehr viele Raritäten und Absurdität, Dokus, Anime und natürlich viele aktuelle Filme. Ein eigenes, kleines Kino mit top Sound und Bild und das Café runden diesen tollen Laden ab, der in diesem Jahr sein 25-jähriges Jubiläum feiert!

    (Translated by Google) They still have the video library and that should stay that way, so everyone goes and lends you movies, or better still be member. Here you will not only find the movies you want to see but also the ones you would like to see if you knew they existed. Have fun, popcorn makes you home even very well, a pinch of salt and then it's mega! (Original) Es gibt sie noch die Videothek und das sollte auch so bleiben, also geht alle hin und leiht euch Filme aus, oder besser noch werdet Mitgliederinx. Hier findet ihr nicht nur die Filme die ihr sehen wollt sondern auch die die ihr sehen wollen würdet wenn ihr wüsstet das es sie gibt. Viel Spass, popcorn macht man selber Zuhause auch ganz gut, eine Prise Salz und dann wird's Mega!
