Heimatfilm
' (, German for "homeland-films"; German singular: ') were films of a genre popular in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria from the late 1940s to the early 1960s. ''Heimat'' can be translated as "home" (in the geographic sense), "hometown" or "homeland". History The genre came to life after the devastation of Germany in World War II, and remained popular from the late 40s to the early 60s.

Contemporary concerns with expulsion and re-integration become manifest in many of the more than three hundred ' that were produced during the 1950s. This is particularl ...
