The Captain from Köpenick (disambiguation)
The Captain from Köpenick (German: Der Hauptmann von Köpenick) is the name of a play drama by Carl Zuckermayer which has been filmed several times. In 1906, a cobbler in the second-hand uniform of a captain marched into the town hall of the Berlin district of Köpenick with soldiers gathered on the way, seized the town treasury and had the mayor arrested. Just wearing a uniform had opened all doors for him. The whole world laughed at the prank, which challenged German military and uniform beliefs.

- The Captain from Köpenick (1956) - directed by Helmut Käutner and starring Heinz Rühmann.
