The Captain from Köpenick (German: Der Hauptmann von Köpenick) is a 1956 West German movie directed by Helmut Käutner. After his release from prison, Wilhelm Voigt decides to finally lead an honest life. In a junk shop, he finds an old captain's uniform. In it, he gives a guard the order to follow him to Köpenick (Berlin) in the town hall, where he arrests the mayor and the city treasurer, to first get a passport in peace. The plan goes awry, instead, he seizes the city treasury and flees.


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


Rifles

Dreyse Zündnadelgewehr Ö/M

German soldiers march during the opening and the ending with Dreyse Zündnadelgewehr Ö/M (Österreichisches Modell; Austrian model) rifles. These rifles are conversions of the Prussian Dreyse carbine M/57 and the Austrian Lorenz M 1854/ II musket which were captured in large numbers in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866.

Dreyse Zündnadel-Defensionsgewehr Ö/M - 15,4 mm
German soldiers march with the rifles during the opening.
The same columm with the rifles behind Wilhelm Voigt (Heinz Rühmann). Note the last band in front of the muzzle.
Another columm marches with the rifles. Note the obliquely mounted bolt that is present by the Dreyse Needle Gun.

Chassepot 1866

The German Gefreiter (Corporal) (Werner Schumacher) and the East Prussian grenadier (Balduin Baas) use French Chassepot 1866 rifles. Recognizable by the smooth receiver that differentiates it from the Gras Model 1874.
