Hansel and Gretel (German: Hänsel und Gretel) is a 1954 West German family film directed by Fritz Genschow.[1] It is based on the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel by the Brothers Grimm. It should not be confused with the German film Hansel and Gretel, nor the American film Hansel and Gretel, both of which were released the same year.
It was shot at the Tempelhof Studios in Berlin and on location in Lower Saxony.
