Theater and cinema
Ottensheim does not have a permanent theater building, but it does have several facilities and inns suitable for theatrical events. These are mainly used by the associations Theater Tabor, which has already won awards at foreign theater festivals, and Bühne Ottensheim, which presents new plays several times a year.
Film Scene Ottensheim: Since 1919, the market town of Ottensheim has also been enriched by a single-screen cinema, the Film Scene Ottensheim. For decades, it was located on Hostauerstraße in the immediate vicinity of the market square. Since 1985, however, the cinema has been housed in the new building in Bahnhofstraße, the special feature of which is that most of the seats are arranged next to tables, which are also served with food and drinks during the screenings.
