Stumpfe Sense - Scharfer Stahl

In the organizer's words:

Additional dates with discussion on Sunday, March 2, 11:30 am, and on Wednesday, March 12, 6:00 pm!

Filmmaker Quinka Stoehr will be present for a subsequent discussion on Sunday, March 2, together with farmer Kirsten Wosnitza, dairy farmer from Nordfrielsand and member of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft bäuerliche Landwirtschaft. The subsequent discussion with the audience will focus on the shift to the right in the countryside from a historical and current perspective.

In August 2020, images of tractors in Schleswig-Holstein showing the symbol of the Landvolk movement from the 1920s caused horror. The Landvolkbewegung was a farmers' movement based in Schleswig-Holstein that became increasingly radicalized and became a driving force for the National Socialists. The flag now appears regularly at current farmers' demonstrations. The documentary film "Stumpfe Sense - Scharfer Stahl. Farmers, Industry and National Socialism" from 1990 uses the example of this protest movement to show the conditions under which German fascism emerged and is once again highly topical.
