Die Lümmel von der ersten Bank Collection

Last Update: October 05, 2024

The Lümmel from the First Bank is the title of a seven-part series of German film comedies that were produced between 1967 and 1972. The literary source for the first part was the 1963 satirical novel Zur Hölle mit den Paukern by the German teacher Herbert Rösler (pseudonym: Alexander Wolf). The sequels are based on motifs and characters from the same book. The main producer of the commercially extremely successful film series was Franz Seitz, who wrote the screenplays for all parts under his pseudonym Georg Laforet. The second part was the only one in the series to be produced by Horst Wendlandt's Rialto Film. The first three "Lümmel" films were each awarded the Golden Screen, an honor for more than three million viewers.
