Kriegsgefangene Franzosen I - Kriegsgefangene Franzosen
French Prisoners of War I
March of French soldiers into the camp. The soldiers who got off the train are escorted to the camp by the gendarmerie and the Landsturm. One can see the gendarme Wallenreich.
Since the 1910s, Oskar Barnack, the inventor of the Leica, has captured events around Wetzlar on film with his self-constructed film camera. He documented flood disasters, city festivals, medical experiments, sporting events and the company where he was employed as chief designer: the Optical Works Ernst Leitz in Wetzlar. His films form the basis of a film archive in which local history has the same place as the effects of great historical events.
