Der Raketenmann - Max Valier - Der Traum vom Weltall (working title)

Synopsis

Max Valier is counted among the pioneers of space technology. Together with Fritz von Opel and the oil company Shell, he created an international sensation with his rocket tests and experiments. Yet, the daring of the Bolzano-born Valier, who lived in Munich from 1920 onwards, would become his downfall: he died at just 35 years of age while undertaking an experiment, quite possibly becoming the first victim of space exploration. In 2020 he would have celebrated his 125th birthday.
