Movie: Der Lord von Barmbeck
Der Lord
von Barmbeck (The Lord of Barmbeck) is a German drama from 1974 based on
the memoirs of Hamburg burglar Julius Adolf Petersen
(1882-1933), who became famous as the “Lord of Barmbeck”. Petersen owed his
status as a folk hero to the fact that he did not use any physical violence
during his raids and only stole from rich people. After several times escaping,
Petersen was finally sentenced to a long prison term. With no prospect of
release, he took his own life in 1933.
This clip is a very brief “flashback” to his
schooldays and as is the way of these type of stories involves a caning delivered
by an out-of-control master.
