lol, great posting! I actually can tell you, when the first cinema in linz opened: It was in 1908. But the first films were already shown in 1896 in a hotel in linz, and until 1908 there were from time to time "wandering cinemas" (or how this is called) in linz, and in a hotel on the Landstrasse (Where 1908 the "Central Cinema" (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Kino_%28Linz%29) opened), there were film programs every week in a big room of the hotel. Probably Wittgenstein was there sometimes... The hotel, by the way, was called Hotel Schiff (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_Schiff), where 1934 the Austrian civil war broke out. And the Central Cinema - located in this hotel - was closed 2007.
