The Battle of Auerstedt on 14 October 1806 is one of the fateful events in German and European history. Together with the Battle of Jena, which took place at the same time, it is deeply engraved in the memories of the people of this region.
About 200 years after the battle, this production is an attempt to portray this historical event from the perspective of the Auerstedt rural population. For this purpose, scenes handed down from 1806 were partly re-enacted at original locations. With the help of play scenes, animated maps, historical illustrations and texts, this film tells the story of the Battle of Auerstedt from the point of view of Auerstedt residents.
Directed, shot, scripted and produced by Mario Koch - Videoauftrag Bad Sulza in cooperation with the Auerstedt Local History Society and the Apolda Amateur Theatre.
