Produced Film Projects

Who knows that the majority of the settings for historic films such as "The Physician" and "Pope Joan" emerged at the Querfurt Castle? Likewise, Til Schweiger filmed his "1 1/2 Ritter” (1 ½ Knights) at the castle grounds. Well-known ARD and ZDF fairy tales like “Die Zertanzten Schuhe” (The Twelve Dancing Princesses) or "Jorinde and Joringel" also have used the medieval castle as filming location. A number of documentaries have been filmed here. Amongst them, some have been recorded for German TV channel like ZDF, SAT1, Arte and NDR.  Additonally, several parts of the "History of Central Germany" (MDR), were recorded here. In total, more than 50 productions were carried out in the past two decades. A combination of production that might be considered unique, at least for a castle.
