A cinematic summer afternoon with DEFA history in Potsdam

1-2-3 Corona brings a piece of German film history to the screen on June 7, 2026, at the Filmmuseum Potsdam. The DEFA classic by Hans Müller from 1948 will be shown, a work that still resonates today with its perspective on the post-war era, the circus world, and hope. The Filmmuseum Potsdam is located at Breite Straße 1a and is indeed the right stage for this special event experience as a traditional place for cinema and film culture.

A classic with attitude and atmosphere

The film tells of two rival boy gangs in destroyed Berlin, of the circus, of Corona, and of a moment when hardness gives way to humanity. Especially in a program cinema like the Filmmuseum Potsdam, this story unfolds its full power: concentrated, approachable, and rich in historical depth. The house is closely linked to the film history of Babelsberg and is considered the oldest film museum in Germany. ([umass.edu](https://www.umass.edu/defa/film/4664/?utm_source=openai))

The right place for cinematic discoveries

The Filmmuseum Potsdam is accessible and is located in the historical center near Potsdam's main train station, making it easily reachable by public transport. Bus and tram connections are available to Alter Markt / Landtag, as well as paid parking options in the vicinity; a disabled parking space is located behind the museum on Schlossstraße. Thus, the cinema visit can be planned and is relaxing. ([filmmuseum-potsdam.de](https://www.filmmuseum-potsdam.de/Kontakt.html?utm_source=openai))
