The Pionier Cinema was founded by Albert Pietzke, under the name of Helios. The first screening was made on 26 September 1909. Since the very beginning the cinema has had a specific atmosphere.

Even after a thorough renovation in 2002, which brought modern equipment, the cinema did not lose its charm. In the cinema, in the so called Kiniarnia (Cinema Café), you can see a movie sitting at a table, in a café-like atmosphere. The cinema is a member of prestigious Europa Cinemas and Studio Cinemas networks.

In August 2005 the Pionier cinema was awarded the title of the oldest still working cinema in the world. Below is a certificate issued by the Guiness World Records.
