- Synopsis:
- On March 3, 1476, the shepherd Hans Bohm (Michael König) claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary in Niklashausen. Thirty thousand peasants believed Bohm was the New Messiah and gathered around him. After preaching the revolutionary doctrine against vested privilege, he was arrested by the bishop and burned at the stake in Wurzburg on July 15, five months after his vision. The film is not a historical re-enactment, but rather Fassbinder's essay on how the past affects the present.
