The Yorck Kino on Yorckstraße in Kreuzberg is the founding cinema of the Yorck group, which still runs it. Yorck says it opened in 1953 in Riehmers Hofgarten, a listed building ensemble, and that in 1978 Georg Kloster and Knut Steenwerth, together with Manfred Salzgeber and Christian Meincke, took it over when it was threatened with closure. It became a two-screen cinema in a conversion begun in 1980.
Yorck describes the programme as arthouse films and independent US productions, with youth film programming as well. On Yorck's site each screening carries a version label, such as OV or OmU, and none of these labels by itself means the film is in English. Our listings here are for English-audio screenings.
For public transport, Yorck lists Mehringdamm on the U6 and U7, and there are bike racks in front of the cinema entrance. Yorck marks the Yorck Kino as not accessible: the foyer and the halls can be reached only by stairs. If step-free access matters for your visit, Yorck's accessibility page lists its other Berlin cinemas with their access details.
