German Western productions, these are above all the
iconic Karl May films of the 1960s. But from the silent film era, the German
Wild West film has had its traditions. Actors such as Lex Barker, Pierre Brice,
Stewart Granger, Hans Albers, Hellmut Lange, Gojko Mitic and recently Wotan
Wilke Möhring and Nik Xhelilaj embodied the men of the West. The cinema and
television audience holds this unusual as special Genrevariation in the
cultural memory.
"Wild West made in Germany" describes this very
special phenomenon based on its films and its stars. Author Reiner Boller has
researched the subject for years, visited archives and film locations, and
personally spoke to many of the participants - especially the classic Karl May
films. During his research, he was particularly supported by Matthias
Wendlandt, whose father produced the famous Winnetou series in the 1960s, and
by Christian Becker, the producer of the RTL remake.
