For some reason, IMDb lists this film with a 1983 release date, but the Filmmuseum DVD lists it as 1974 and it was almost certainly shot concurrently with director Alexander Kluge's full-length feature of that year, In Gefahr und größter Not bringt der Mittelweg den Tod. Biermann-Film (its title another little mystery that probably only makes sense to Germans) is only three minutes long but features some of the same locations, such as the Palmengarten, seen in the longer Kluge film. It offers different footage of riot police and water cannon facing off against squatters and is accompanied by a man (Biermann?) singing a folk song about the can't-come-soon-enough nature of communism. An interesting curio.
