The "FilmClub Leibniz" was founded on November 9, 1962 by Jürgen Labenski, a Leibniz student and senior at the time, making it one of the oldest youth film clubs still in existence in Germany. With the consent of the school management, Labenski had the bicycle cellar converted into a cinema, organized an old 16mm cinema projector and cinema seats from the "Scala" and launched the cinema with the film "Nothing New in the West". He showed a movie at least once a month, mainly on the topics of "National Socialism", "war" and "post-war Germany". He wanted to sensitize young people to authoritarian and dictatorial developments, warn them against systemic inertia and motivate them to stand up when they discovered signs of intolerance in society. The movie "Der Club der toten Dichter" was by far the most frequently shown film.

In 1967, German teacher Ulrich Pfützner joined and founded Club 67.

After watching the films, the students discussed the movies with each other in the next room. Sometimes it got very late. After Pfützner retired, his colleague Eva Kühn took over the discussion group. After she left, Klub 67 came to an end. Difficult times came for FilmClub Leibniz in the 1990s. Labenski worked at ZDF in the feature film editorial department and commuted between Wiesbaden and Berlin. He also had health problems. We owe him not only the short features "Apropos Film", but also the Monday evening series "Der Phantastische Film" and the restoration of numerous old and sometimes almost lost films such as "Über den Dächern von Nizza", which he enthusiastically showed us in an intimate setting as soon as they were finished. In 1998, he built a second cinema room in the basement, and pupils painted the walls with scenes from famous films.

Along the way, Labenski used his contacts to actors, directors and producers from Germany and Europe. Next to the entrance hangs an autograph from the master himself: Alfred Hitchcock came to the FilmClub in the spring of 1963 after he had survived the "Frankfurter Gespräch" at Hessischer Rundfunk and asked the audience where else he could go. Labenski took him with him straight away. Christopher Lee was almost a regular at the movie theater. Wolfgang Völz, Liselotte Pulver, Arthur Brauner and many others came and also discussed with the young viewers.

Since 2000, the film club has been run by a team of teachers from the Leibnizschule. The premises and the technology are also maintained by the Wiesbadener Filmkreis, which has been holding its amateur film evenings here since 2000. Jürgen Labenski died on 7.11.2007. He did not live to see the reopening of his cinema after the wonderfully successful restoration in 2009. Today, the cinema is used for classes at the Leibniz School as well as by a film club, a video club and the Leibniz Film Club, which still shows films for schoolchildren once a month, and the Wiesbaden Film Circle. Everyone uses it, the most beautiful school cinema in Germany.
