The Captain from Köpenick (German: Der Hauptmann von Köpenick) is a 1931 German movie directed by Richard Oswald and is the first film adaptation of the play of the same name with Max Adalbert in the title role. Shoemaker Wilhelm Voigt, released from prison, wants to live an honest life, but cannot get a job because he lacks the necessary papers. Since he also has no passport, it is not possible for him to leave Prussia. In desperation, he buys a captain's uniform from a junk dealer, commands off a dozen soldiers and occupies the Köpenick town hall with them. But it turns out that there is no passport office there at all.


The following weapons were used in the film The Captain from Köpenick:
