Ludwig II is a 2012 German biographical movie directed by Peter Sehr about Ludwig II, Swan King of Bavaria. Ludwig II (Sabin Tambrea), dreams of a better world at a young age. The highly gifted soul of the artist believes in the refinement of people through art and music. He wants to substitute musical instruction for the people in the place of military service and uses his power and the money of the state to implement his high ideals of education and culture. But the world around him keeps turning normally and the kingdom is threatened from the outside by wars with Prussia and France. In domestic politics, the ministers ally against the king and his plans. Even in love, Ludwig fails, because the relationship with his fiancée Sophie (Paula Beer) does not go beyond friendship. Deeply distraught, he withdraws from the political public and flees from the bitter reality, until he dies under unexplained circumstances.
The following weapons were used in the film Ludwig II:
Handguns
Unknown Pistol
Richard Hornig (Friedrich Mücke) fires an unknown pistol after the defeat of Bavaria during the Austro-Prussian War.
Rifles
Jäger-Dornbüchse M1854/58
Bavarian soldiers are seen with Austrian Lorenz Jäger-Dornbüchsen M1854/58 carbines.
The carbine's muzzle is seen on the right next to Lorenz Mayr (Samuel Finzi) describing the coronation of Ludwig.
Dreyse Model 1841
The Dreyse Infantry Rifle M1841 is seen used by Bavarian soldiers during the demonstration of the Prussian Army Wunderwaffe. Prince Otto (Tom Schilling) takes a rifle from a soldier and fires the Dreyse as well. Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria (Uwe Ochsenknecht), says about these weapons "This Needle Gun is a stroke of genius. Even from a thousand steps, you can still hit the enemy in the heart. BANG, and quickly reload again and BANG!" Maximilian II (Axel Milberg) wants to buy this rifle but after his death, Ludwig decides not to equip his troops with this rifle.
Mauser Scheibenbüchse Rifle
Johann von Lutz (Justus von Dohnányi) and Otto von Bismarck (Bernd Birkhahn) use bolt action rifles while hunting. They appear to be the Mauser Scheibenbüchse, a bolt-action target rifle based on the Mauser Gewehr 1871 system. Bismarck's rifle has a turned-down bolt handle.
Werndl M1873/77
Bavarian police and Ludwig's guard use Werndl M1873/77 rifles. These Austrian rifles may stand in for the correct Bavarian Werder-Gendarmerie-Gewehr M/1869/1873.
Other
Cannons
Several cannons are seen.
