Ruinenschleicher and Schachterleis: Munich's Post-War Era in Moving Images

When the screen darkens, a Munich opens up between ruins, new beginnings, and cautious hope. The documentary Ruinenschleicher and Schachterleis – Munich after 1945 takes place on October 13, 2026, at the Small Stage of the Pasinger Fabrik, looking back at the years after World War II.

Memories of a Young Post-War Generation

Bombed-out houses, scarce food supplies, housing shortages, and daily life in cramped conditions shape the film's memory world. Witnesses recount how children and teenagers experienced the post-war years, what hopes they attached to reconstruction, and how they encountered the American occupation.

Documentary Dramaturgy from Interviews, Photos, and Film Clips

The production relies on a concentrated montage of personal interviews, historical photographs, and original film clips. This creates not a distant historical image, but an immediate stage experience in the cinema space: voices, faces, and images coalesce into an authentic portrait of Munich between destruction, new beginnings, and young democracy.

Film as a Living Culture of Memory

Michael von Ferrari, Angelika Wimbauer, and Lutz Eigel have realized the non-profit film over several years with the support of film professionals, funders, and numerous witnesses. The documentary work connects local city history with questions that extend into the present: How does a new social coexistence emerge? What remains of an era in the memory of a city?

An Evening in the Sign of Remembrance

The event is part of the series Remembering Means Responsibility, which combines filmic and theatrical approaches to the history of the end of the war and the post-war period. The Pasinger Fabrik creates a concentrated, culturally demanding setting for this. After the performance, there will be space for exchange and personal reflection.

The audience can expect an intense documentary film evening with historical depth, Munich local history, and an atmosphere where memory does not remain abstract. Those who want to experience the post-war period from the perspective of the people who lived through it will find a poignant access to the past here.
