The Kapp-Lüttwitz Putsch of March 1920 is an almost forgotten chapter of German history. Unjustly so, because the attempt to stifle Germany's first democracy failed due to the democratic consciousness of its citizens. This docudrama directly follows the production "Peace by Force - The Legend of the Stab in the Back and the Peace of Versailles" and explores the reconstruction of the circumstances that led to the first coup against the Weimar Republic.
Documentary theater in Münster: "Against the Putsch" - 100th anniversary of the Kapp Putsch and the Red Ruhr Movement

The play is set primarily in a city in the Ruhr region and reflects the political turmoil of the 1920s, particularly the rise of German nationalist associations and the disunity among the workers' parties. The Kapp Putsch briefly unites the workers' parties, who successfully launch a general strike and defeat the advancing Freikorps. Action committees, executive councils, and the Red Ruhr Army were formed. With the retreat of the putschists and the Bielefeld Agreement, disunity resurfaced. Finally, the Reichswehr, supported by Freikorps and coordinated from Münster, marched into the Ruhr region and massacred the workers who had saved the republic. The Academic Defense Force of the University of Münster was also complicit in this tragedy.
