The footage has come from Karl Höffkes Archives , a huge repository of common life scenes in Germany in the 20th century (I don´t know the language, so I had to use bare tools as Google Translate). The above clip is here  and on its brief information line, Karl dates the material to the 1940s (or even the 1960s) and the location at a certain "Atrium". There was a theater with this name in Dusseldorf tha...
