Längsschnitt: Revolutionen
The Revolution of 1848/49
Black, red and gold are the colours of the 1848 Revolution, which aims for a unified German Empire with a liberal constitution. As yet, Germany is divided into many individual states, whose princes and kings mostly rule with barely limited power. Now, however, the revolutionaries seem to have prevailed: A freely elected national assembly convenes in Frankfurt’s Paulskirche. But the monarchs’ resistance is too strong and they put the revolution down. Yet it is not a complete failure, for many German states adopt constitutions that give their citizens a greater say now. But they still have a long time to wait for real democracy and state unity. | In this film version, German interviews and historical or literary quotes remain untranslated.
