518 Originally produced by DEFA Film Library in 1951.
520 Hamburg, Germany 1934: An executioner is needed. Teetjen
(Erwin Geschonneck) makes the biggest mistake of his life.
Because his butcher shop is facing bankruptcy, he agrees
to execute a group of political prisoners for the Nazis.
Once this becomes known, Teetjen's life falls apart. The
Axe of Wandsbek was the only DEFA film made by Falk
Harnack, a former anti-Nazi resistance fighter who was
interested in exploring the involvement of the middle
class in Nazi crimes. Despite positive reviews, the film
was withdrawn shortly after its premiere; it became the
first East German film ever to be banned. The film is
adapted from one of the most important works by German-
Jewish author Arnold Zweig; basing the story on real
events, Zweig wrote the novel in exile in Palestine in
1943.
