Der Lord von Barmbeck is a German feature film from 1973. Directed by Ottokar Runze , Martin Lüttge plays the title character of the real burglar king and professional criminal Julius Adolf Petersen (1882–1933).
action
This biography is based on the memoirs of the Hamburg burglar Julius Adolf Petersen , who came to dubious fame as "Lord von Barmbeck". He owed his status as a folk hero to the fact that he did not use physical violence during his raids and only stole from rich people. After he was able to evade justice several times, Petersen was eventually sentenced to a long prison term.
At the age of thirteen, little Julius Adolf began stealing for the first time, and at eighteen he started his career as a safe breaker. Since the age of 36, he has focused entirely on break-ins and raids on a large scale. Between his breaks, Petersen still finds plenty of time for various kinds of women acquaintances. Although he is married, a veritable countess also likes his masculine charm and perfect manners, as does the very young Liesbeth, with whom he quickly hooks up. His gangster career finally ended in 1921. Petersen was arrested and only released on parole in 1932. When he was arrested again in 1933 after 22 more burglaries, he decided to commit suicide as he was not given the prospect of release.

criticism
In Kay Weniger's Das Großes Personenlexikon des Films , the following can be read in Runze's biography: “Despite a few formal deficiencies, with this, his second cinema work, he succeeded in creating a quite remarkable picture of the time, which he, with great attention to detail and the equipment, is a lively crook -Biography staged with a serious background. "
The lexicon of international films criticized the lack of a clear standpoint for the presentation in Runze's staging and summed up: "Runze's staging (born 1925), which tried very carefully to arrange décor and costumes, offers an attractive picture of the time."
