Originally opened in the early 1950s, the cinema closed at the end of the 1970s. In 1980, the student-run Argel Film Club was looking for a new venue. As the owner at the time insisted on daily screenings, some of the club's members founded Rex-Lichtspiel GmbH, which still operates the cinema today. The Rex focuses primarily on European arthouse cinema, while preview screenings are usually presented in their original language with subtitles.
