# Die Geierwally

Die Geierwally at Zeughauskino, Sunday 8 November 2026, 17:00.

Die Geierwally is a 1956 feature film based on Wilhelmine von Hillern's 1873 novel Die Geier-Wally. It was directed by František Čáp and stars Barbara Rütting and Carl Möhner. The film tells of the headstrong Wally, who defends herself against outside control and village mockery in self-chosen seclusion, accompanied only by a vulture she has rescued, which earns her the taunting name Geierwally. Instead of an idealised world, this fairy-tale-elevated love and family melodrama, in glowing colour, confronts its audience with depths and ambivalences.
