Lenz or Freiheit is a four-part, about six-hour historical drama, first broadcast in 1986 by Südwestfunk, directed by Dieter Berner for German television. It is the filming of the novels The Lenz Papers, originally written in English by Stefan Heym in the early 1960s (in German translation, first published in 1963 under the title Die Papiere des Andreas Lenz in Leipzig). Against the historical background of the final phase of the Badische Revolution of 1848/49, the film tells the story of a fictional revolutionary named Andreas Lenz, who stands for very different, so-called "nameless" biographies, which were actively engaged in revolutionary surveys and, after their suppression, were forced to emigrate (see also Forty-Eighters in the above-mentioned case).
