The arrival of soldiers returning from the war at Wetzlar train station. A crowd of people is waiting for the arrival of the soldiers. Because the train is arriving from Cologne, the former POWs, not only from Wetzlar, but from the entire district, are likely returning from France. A military band of the Reichswehr welcomes the arrivals, women present them with flowers. A banner reads: "Mission accomplished". The returning soldiers are supplied with food by a field kitchen near the station.

Since the 1910s, Oskar Barnack – inventor of the "Leica" – has documented the activities around Wetzlar with his self-constructed camera. He filmed floods and town fairs, medical experiments, sporting events and the company that employed him as a chief engineer: the Optical Works Ernst Leitz in Wetzlar. His films are the cadre of a film archive that gives local history the same importance as the results of major historic events.
