3D theater in Austria?

        Speaking with an artist-friend the other day, he remembered
visiting a large circular 3D 'theater' in Austria sometime between 1930-40.
He said that it was built within a larger library facility and that
approximately 100 people sat around the perimeter looking into stereo
viewers.  Every couple of minutes there would be a series of 'clicking'
sounds and the images would change.  I assume that it was a long film strip
which looped, an if you sat long enough you'd see all of the images. He
remembers the seats were a deep red velvet with gold detailing, and the
large theater was just as elaborately finished. Does anyone know what this
would be and if it still exists?
