Lechflimmern at the Family Pool at Plärrer: Summer cinema under the open sky in Augsburg

Summer cinema under the open sky: Lechflimmern on 06.09. at the Family Pool at Plärrer

As the late summer sun settles over the Family Pool at Plärrer, a stage experience of a special kind unfolds: no red curtain, but open air, water, light, and the tense theater atmosphere of an open-air cinema. On 06.09.2026, Lechflimmern will present a double-curated program featuring Steckerlfischfiasko in Cinema 1 and The Truman Show in Cinema 2, the latter in the original English version with German subtitles and a film quiz. The Family Pool is located at Schwimmschulstraße 5 in Augsburg; the event starts at 19:00. ([lechflimmern.de](https://lechflimmern.de/film/steckerlfischfiasko))

An evening that shows Augsburg in cinema light

Lechflimmern combines open-air charm with precise dramaturgy: a Bavarian crime and comedy evening meets the media-critical parable of The Truman Show. While the first film features the Eberhofer universe with skewered fish king, golf course, and feuding local festival clans, the second film addresses the big question of reality, staging, and freedom. This tension is what makes the program appealing: popular cinema narration and intelligent reflection in a shared summer evening.

Venue with a summer backdrop

The Family Pool at Plärrer has been a fixture in Augsburg's city life since 1912. The city of Augsburg provides barrier-free access, accessible toilets, accessible changing rooms, and barrier-free showers. Public transport connection is available via the stop Augsburg, Plärrer P+R; there is also a large parking lot at Plärrer, which may be subject to fees or limited use during events on the Plärrer grounds. This creates a well-accessible, summery open framework for the cinema experience for visitors. ([augsburg.de](https://www.augsburg.de/freizeit/baden/freibaeder/familienbad/))

Program, acoustics, and audience feeling

The open-air situation shapes the perception: voices, music, and images unfold under the open sky, and the audience reaction becomes part of the performance. Lechflimmern is clearly geared toward cinema fans who are looking for a relaxed yet atmospheric stage experience. The evening begins at 19:00; as a summer format, the event is not designed as an indoor experience. This makes the event particularly attractive for all who want to experience cinema as a communal ritual. ([lechflimmern.de](https://lechflimmern.de/film/steckerlfischfiasko))

What visitors can expect

An engaging summer evening with two very different films, an open outdoor setting, and an environment that elegantly connects Augsburg's summer city life and cinema culture is expected. Those who experience Lechflimmern live not only get a program but also atmosphere, conversation topics, and a special evening under the sky of Augsburg.
