Widower with Five Daughters (German: Witwer mit 5 Töchtern) is a 1957 West German comedy film directed by Erich Engels and starring Heinz Erhardt, Susanne Cramer, and Helmuth Lohner.[1] It was shot at Göttingen Studios, with location shooting at Berlepsch Castle near Witzenhausen. The art directors Dieter Bartels and Paul Markwitz designed the film's sets.
A father has brought up his five daughters alone since the death of his wife, while also working as the custodian of a castle which is now owned by an American. He sometimes receives the help of a local woman, evoking mixed reactions on the part of his daughters as they consider her as a prospective new mother.
