Kulturschicht - Die Deutschen von Altai

In the organizer's words:

The Altai Mountains are located in the border region between Kazakhstan, Russia, China and Mongolia. As early as the time of Tsar Peter I, German scientists and mining engineers explored this region in order to advance the industrialization of the Russian Empire. Towards the end of the 19th century, German farmers from the Volga region settled in the fertile steppe at the foot of the high mountains in search of new settlement areas. However, their fate was to prove extremely eventful.
In this documentary, actor Waldemar Hooge, an enthusiastic historian, follows in the footsteps of the German settlers in the Altai. In doing so, he provides fascinating insights into their lives in Central Asia.

Together with the main actor Waldemar Hooge, director Boris Schwarzmann and producer Katja Beil present their film, which was shot in 2022.
