'When Ludwig Goes on Manoeuvres' (German: 'Wenn Ludwig ins Manver zieht') is a 1967 West German historical comedy film directed by Werner Jacobs, starring Hansi Kraus as Ludwig Thoma, Heidelinde Weis and Rudolf Rhomberg.[https://web.archive.org/web/20090207041312/http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/393818 BFI.org] The script was provided by producer Franz Seitz who chose his pen name "Georg Laforet" for the credits. Besides many well-known actors of the day, the film also features Zlatko ajkovski, 1967's trainer of FC Bayern Munich, his goal-getter Gerd Mller and his goalkeeper Sepp Maier.
The film's sets were designed by the art directors Wolf Englert and Bruno Monden. It was shot in Eastmancolor.
