Contexte et analyse

As part of the 850th anniversary of the city of Freiburg im Breisgau and under the motto "Freiburg - City of Wine", a wine festival was held at Münsterplatz for the first time. This is still done today. It takes place annually in July and is one of the largest wine festivals in Baden and the surrounding area. The film for the 1970 wine festival was shot by the amateur filmmaker Helmut Eckert in 16 mm; it is part of the film for the 850th anniversary of Freiburg. This film mainly shows the journey to the opening ceremony, the opening ceremony itself, and the dance and drink afterwards. The focus here is on the participants who are important for the wine festival. Mostly it was shot in a half-close or half-long shot. Helmut Eckert worked with a lot of style and tries to include the most important details. The former wine village took place from June 12th to 16th, 1970 and was completed with a winegrower's move (LFS 2297_7). The city of Freiburg had the idea of bringing together the Baden winegrowers' cooperatives, those interested in wine and winegrowers. In the preliminary discussions with the Baden Winegrowers' Association, President Emil Klaus emphasized that he would only support the organization of the wine festival with a wine village and a move. He also asked organizers of the Markgräflerland and the Kaiserstuhl to forego their own events at this time so that the wine festival in Freiburg could become a central attraction. From him came the suggestions to open the wine village on Friday, to hold a winemaker procession on Sunday and to have a morning drink on Monday morning.

A large wine village with tents, snack stands and dance podiums was built around the Münsterplatz. The location was deliberately chosen because the cathedral and the market square are centrally located. The archbishop was initially against planning because the service could be disrupted. However, he was assured that this was avoidable since the wine festival started at 2 p.m. on Sunday. The traditional weekly market was held on the Münsterplatz between the vine arches on Saturday. The Breisach central cellar had the largest wine stand. There were a total of 16 vine arbors and a champagne stand on Münsterplatz. The winemakers from the Markgräflerland stood on the south side, the Kaiserstuhl region on the north side, the Ortenau and stands of Freiburg on the west side. All types of Baden wines were offered, from table to top-quality wine. During the opening hours until 11 p.m., dance and entertainment bands and accordion clubs played on the two dance stages.
