# Hansel and Gretel (1954 Genschow film)

Hansel and Gretel (German: Hänsel und Gretel) is a 1954 West German family film directed by Fritz Genschow. It is based on the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel by the Brothers Grimm.

It was shot at the Tempelhof Studios in Berlin and on location in Lower Saxony.
