Ödenwaldstetten is a documentary film in black and white from Germany by director Peter Nestler from the year 1964 . The film was broadcast for the first time on August 18, 1964 on ARD. It deals with the social and economic change in the then independent community of Ödenwaldstetten on the Swabian Alb in the 1960s.
content
The film Ödenwaldstetten has the paradigmatic subtitle: A village changes its face .
Different farmers talk about the structural change in agriculture with its compulsion to mechanization and factory farming and the problems of making the necessary investments ( quote from an interviewee: " There are black and gray clouds above the farmer's status. "). Various businesses are also visited Place (such as the jersey factory or the brewery), all of which are shaped by technical change. The first guest workers are already working in the village. Changes also in school operations, which, however, are still strongly characterized by seasonal child labor during the harvest season.
But the past is also discussed: the war with its victims and the displaced Jewish population, which played an important role in the cattle trade. But the rapid social and economic change favors forgetting: “All the things from the past and the war, almost everything has been forgotten, something new has always come. What lies behind you has been mowed. "
The film ends with a topping-out ceremony , a subsequent church service and a visit to a frequented inn - all institutions that serve the integration into the community.
reception
Just like Nestler's documentation Mülheim / Ruhr , Ödenwaldstetten was commissioned by Südwestfunk . The director tried to make changes in the films. In particular, the uncommented juxtaposition of the different speakers who used their dialect or spoke in a bumpy High German was the focus of criticism. Nestler tells in the documentary 5 Comments on the Documentary (1974) that he refused to introduce a neutral narrator into the film because he would have found this to be an insult to the seriousness of the contributors. After the film Ödenwaldstetten , according to Nestler's statements, there was no longer any radio company that would have commissioned a follow-up project. He therefore had to finance his next documentary entitled From Greece himself.
“The resettler who plows up German fields as a start-up; Bent figures pulling milk cans with handcarts through dirty streets, cattle farmers who complain that the Jewish cattle dealers have also disappeared with the murder of the Jews: Ödenwaldstetten is a nightmare for every reader of Landlust . "
Ödenwaldstetten is currently available on DVD with the complete works of Peter Nestler, the 16 mm film has been transferred to DCP ( Digital Cinema Package ).
