Der Poacher vom Silberwald is a German homeland film by Otto Meyer from 1957.
action
Christian Paschegg is the new forester in idyllic Edlau who is supposed to support head forester Mathias. He lives with his daughter Ulli, an enthusiastic photographer , and his wife Mathilde, who writes trivial novels under the pseudonym “Mathilde Eschenhausen” . Since Mathias had forgotten Christian's arrival date, he first made the acquaintance of the sawmill owner Josefa and her foreman Rupert. Josefa in particular is unpopular in the village because she relentlessly fell trees on a leased forest for her factory. Her husband died years ago in the sawmill; up until now it has never been possible to determine whether it was an accident or murder, as he was killed by the running circular saw . Josefa's son Loisl, on the other hand, is popular and often goes on photo tours with Ulli.
Although Christian Josefa initially offers his help, should she ever need an open ear, he is horrified when he sees the cleared forest with his own eyes for the first time. Since Josefa's lease for the forest is about to expire, he takes the side of the farmers who refuse to extend it in order to put an end to the hustle and bustle.
One day a dead wood grouse is found in the forest ; Ulli also sees a chamois being shot by a poacher . Despite an exhausted search, Christian cannot catch the poacher. The amateurish detective attempts of the Berlin tourist Paul are also unsuccessful. At night, Christian lies in wait for the poacher at a deer crossing and Ulli is also there with her camera. One of her photos shows a stag as well as the outline of the poacher. The negative of the photo is stolen from her shortly afterwards.
Christian decides to start a major action to arrest the poacher. It is puzzling that he shoots the game, but leaves it dead. In the big hunt for the poacher, Christian is after all close on his heels. The masked poacher escapes to Josefa's wood factory, where Christian can finally turn him up. The poacher is none other than Josefa herself and her poaching is a revenge on Christian's "betrayal". Before Christian can arrest her, Rupert surprises him. It comes to a duel with him, in which Christian comes to the counter of the circular saw. Just before the saw hits him, Josefa switches off the system. Rupert lets off Christian, after all, Josefa's husband's death had also occurred in such a duel. Rupert asks Christian to pass him off as a poacher instead of Josefa, and Christian agrees. Josefa will sell the wood factory and leave with Loisl. Christian later tells Ulli about his decision to fulfill Rupert's wish, and this encourages him to have acted correctly.
production
The poacher from Silberwald was filmed in Maria Alm am Steinernen Meer . The film had its world premiere on October 10, 1957 in the Coburg Burgtheater.
As in Der Förster vom Silberwald , Rudolf Lenz also took on the leading role in Der Poacher vom Silberwald . Although Der Spiegel suspected “a second infusion” by the forester from Silberwald in the Poacher vom Silberwald in 1957 , the two films have little in common except for the title. The title Der Poacher vom Silberwald is the planned title of a novel in the film that "Mathilde Eschenhauser" wants to write in response to the mysterious poacher in the Edlauer Wald.
criticism
