Fastentuch 1472

Theodor Fontane (1819-1898) traveled around Berlin as a journalist for decades. His books “Walks through the Mark Brandenburg” contain very rich and remote cultural, historical, ethnographic and biographical sources. Bernhard Sallmann takes passages from it that he confronts with the current shape of the Margraviate of Brandenburg.

Rhinland. Fontane

Spreeland. Fontane

At first it seems a spoken word film whose greatness comes only from the famous text of Theodor Fontane.
