Schulmädchen-Report. 3. Teil: Was Eltern nicht mal ahnen (1972)

As in the previous installments of the film series, this one also deals in several episodes, in almost every detail, with the sexual behavior of young girls. Unlike Parts 1 and 2, this work consists of nine episodes in all. As is customary in this series, the individual episodes are linked by staged street interviews on sexuality and sexual morality in the 20th century. This film, too, is accompanied by a scientific-sounding voice-over narrator. A “Guide to Sexuality in Youth Camps” leads a youth group to go swimming naked together and, the following night, to mix the sleeping quarters. Later, the girls sit together at a table and tell one another stories from their own lives or about other people. (1) Fourteen-year-old Edith Grossmann leaves the classroom because of a headache. Three classmates from the upper secondary level try to rape her, but the caretaker, Pfeiffer, thwarts them. He summons the schoolgirl to his room and makes her undress, then leaves the room and leaves the half-naked girl with the local official, Dreyer. After her suicide attempt, the police arrest him for his sordid dealings; he had also sold girls to other men. (2) Headmaster Johannes Holbach, 30, harasses his 14-year-old female students in class and “seduces two dozen schoolgirls.” He summons one student after another to the teaching materials room, makes them undress, and has sex with them. Despite the students’ great reluctance—Gisela Mohndorf and Micki Henkels are named—the teacher is ultimately sentenced to five years and seven months in court. (3) A girl who is just under 15 watches her sister having sex and shortly afterward masturbates for the first time. (4) In the uncut version, an incest scene between Renate and her ten-year-old cousin follows, and is interrupted by her father. This story is absent from the cut version. (5) Dr. Schneider meets Helmi Kurtmann, a classmate of his son Rolf, while playing tennis. They have sexual encounters. When Rolf finds out and tells Helmi’s parents, she presents what happened as rape. The scene ends with the voice-over saying, “The defendant is acquitted of the charge of indecency with a child.” (6) Werner, an auto mechanic, is approached by Margot at the swimming pool and “did it with me whenever, wherever, and however he felt like it; it was really humiliating.” (7) In the senior headmaster’s room, his daughter tries to entice Bernd, who is the same age as her, into having sex. When they hear footsteps, they try to hide naked in a closet, where the senior headmaster and Fräulein Pfläumchen are already standing naked. All four hide in the closet when the senior headmaster’s wife appears with the caretaker, Meyer. (8) Heinz and Karla seek out a secluded spot at Oktoberfest to have sex. A man who had been following them for some time shoots Heinz and rapes Karla in a cellar; she is supposedly 13 years old. The voice-over then declares the parents responsible for the sexual predator’s crime because they failed in their duty of supervision. (9) Beate Kemper, the daughter of a construction entrepreneur, falls in love with Peter Baumgartner, who has begun his studies in Munich. Her father’s interventions with Peter’s father to prevent the relationship cannot stop her from running away from home and visiting him in Munich. Their staged joint suicide prompts both fathers to travel there together and say, “Life is too beautiful to let you ruin it for us.”
