Winter und harter Winter / Winter and hard Winter
Johannes Kürschner, Paul Stephani | Documentary | 65min | Germany 2018 | OmeU
Olbernhau – a small town in the middle of the Erz Mountains, not far from the Czech border. There are only ‘winters and hard winters’ here, they say. And its inhabitants are the one to know about it. They are a bunch of unusual people with traditional customs, habits and a dialect, which even die-hard Saxons rarely understand. In the midst of the hard winter days, an unfussy journey through the Olbernhauer microcosm begins: Including nutcrackers, German incense smokers, folk music and house slaughtering. That’s just real life.

The last week before Christmas – the end of the year is approaching – thoughts about farewell and new beginning grow. The 65-year-old forester Hubert Stehle is awaiting a new phase of life. It will only be a few years until his retirement, and his wife Eva is already planning to move from their forest to their family home. For 300 years Hubert’s ancestors were foresters and hunters in the service of the Enzbergs, a noble family from the Danube valley. The end of the family tradition also means the end of an era.
