About Der Schinderhannes

1802: The adventurous life story of Hans Bückler, known as “Schinderhannes”, who fights against the French occupying forces and large landowners who exploit poor farmers in the Hunsrück region during the Napoleonic Wars.

Directed by Helmut Käutner, Der Schinderhannes leans on a strong ensemble — Curd Jürgens, Maria Schell, Christian Wolff — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about history titles of 1958.
