About Schloß Königswald
In Königswald Castle, eight noble old ladies and their maid are waiting for the end of World War II. Princess Ursela has made arrangements with her grandmother, the Countesses Hohenlohe, Dohna, Posadowsky, and Woronzoff, as well as Baroness Schweinitz and Baroness von Boehme. The Americans are advancing on the castle from one side, while the Russians are approaching from the other. Suddenly, however, Wehrmacht soldiers barricade themselves in the castle to defend it. But the old ladies do not want to be defended, lest they risk the destruction of their beloved castle. So they hatch a crazy plan to get rid of the German soldiers...
Directed by Peter Schamoni, Schloß Königswald leans on a strong ensemble — Camilla Horn, Dietlinde Turban, Marianne Hoppe — 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 comedy titles of 1988.
