A new set in the stunt show at Movie Park Bottrop is causing a stir. Duisburg visitors were particularly astonished to see that the façade of the fictional “Café Evergreen” closely resembles their well-known café in Duisburg – a similarity that could have legal consequences.
Movie Park as a Stage for “Café Evergreen”
In the middle of the popular stunt show at Movie Park Bottrop, a new set was recently introduced, generating quite a buzz among visitors. Alongside familiar backdrops like the police station and a workshop, a café with a green-and-white façade and the name “Evergreen” has taken center stage. The striking resemblance to a similarly named café in downtown Duisburg hasn’t gone unnoticed, especially by visitors from Duisburg.
The Real “Café Evergreen” in Duisburg
The real “Café Evergreen” in Duisburg is known for its excellent coffee and homemade cakes, making it a popular gathering spot for many locals. Just a few months ago, the café was on the brink of closure but managed to survive and continues to thrive. Now, with its likeness appearing in Movie Park’s stunt show, Duisburg residents are reacting with a mix of pride and surprise.
Reactions and Potential Legal Action
The owners of Duisburg’s “Café Evergreen” humorously responded to the unexpected “tribute” in Bottrop on their social media channels, writing: “We have a question… Why didn’t you just ask us? Just kidding: Either we get lifetime free admission, or our lawyer will take care of it. Or you could send SpongeBob over… That would be okay, too. Peace and Love. Thanks for the proof photo.” It remains unclear how serious these demands are and whether the café’s owners are considering legal action to protect their name and appearance. Public opinion on social media ranges from amusement to outrage, with some users insisting that the original in Duisburg is irreplaceable.
The Movie Park remains silent
So far, Movie Park Bottrop has not publicly commented on the reaction from the Duisburg café. It’s unclear whether the park’s management was aware of the real “Café Evergreen’s” existence.
