Ritterhude invites you: open-air cinema with robber Hotzenplotz and knights!
On Saturday, June 21st, the Hamme Forum in Ritterhude will be the venue for a special event for all film and fairy tale lovers. An exciting program awaits visitors as part of the Ritterhuder Lichtspiele. It starts with the children's film “The Robber Hotzenplotz”, a classic by the German children's book author Otfried Preußler. This film adaptation, directed by Michael Krummenacher, promises not only nostalgia, but also a faithful retelling of the popular story known to many children. Weser courier reports that the film begins screenings at 5 p.m. and the plot involves the robber Hotzenplotz stealing Kasperl's grandmother's valuable coffee grinder, which leads the two friends on an exciting hunt for the thief.
“The Robber Hotzenplotz” is not only an entertaining story, but also part of an illustrated children's book series that includes three stories and has been translated into over 34 languages. In the first story, published in 1962, the babbling bandit becomes a popular character who comes to life in children's imaginations. Regarding the adventures of Hotzenplotz, who is captured in the subsequent stories and also makes plans for revenge, it is about the development of friendship and courage.
For the grown-ups: “Knights with passion”
But it's not just the little ones who get their money's worth. From 7:15 p.m., with the film starting at 8 p.m., “Knight of Passion” will be shown, a film from 2001 that delves into the world of knights and romance. The main actor Heath Ledger takes on the role of Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein, a dreamer who wants to make his dreams come true. Weser courier highlights that the film incorporates mixed elements of the knight genre and pop culture and is described as entertaining. It shows the path from a simple roofer's son to a knight, which unfolds in romantic and intriguing scenes.
A classic with tradition
The character of the robber Hotzenplotz, brought to life by Preußler's pen, is seen as a popular and sometimes mischievous character in German culture. Preußler.de makes it clear that the robber's name is not just imaginative fun, but is closely linked to the character's history and roots. Preussler discovered the importance of names in storytelling and how they shape characters, leading to the magical idea that proper knowledge of a name gives power over a character.
And the best part? Tickets for the events are available at the afternoon box office. This combination of adventure for the little ones and captivating entertainment for the grown-ups ensures that the Hamme Forum will be filled with life this Saturday. A real highlight that you shouldn't miss!
