Important! The performance of the prohibition of films on good Friday applies only to movie theaters and public performances. as a reminder: The legal regulation dates back to the year 1952. At that time, films were shown either in the cinema or not at all. The television was the beginning of the ‘ 50s is still quite insignificant.
Since then, the law has not been revised. Overall, the demonstration ban, according to the FSK managing Director Stefan Linz, in the meantime, hardly any relevance.
