Krabat fan content is scattered across a number of different platforms. There are vids on YouTube, drawings on DeviantArt, short comments and screencaps on Tumblr, and the most fanfiction I've found is stored on fanfiktion.de ... though there is also some on AO3 and fanfiction.net. As of yesterday, when I checked, Wattpad and AFF were drawing blanks for this fandom.




The Krabat-related ASP songs, with written lyrics and Russian translations, can be found under the Zaubererbruder heading in this page. English translations to several of the songs are available via lyricstranslate. Mein Herz erkennt dich immer, Verwandlungen I-III, Zauberebruder, and Krabat also have French translations there.


Many movie pictures are available at the Krabat blog. I especially liked these. There are also a whole bunch of set building pictures and computer generated layouts of the inside of the mill.

-A young, Rumanian extra in the Easter vigil.
-Andrusch leading their ox, Florian.
-Carrying Tonda's coffin for the umpteenth take. Staschko and others, protecting their eyes from the glare, between takes.
-Merten on horseback on the set.
-Hanzo complaining visually (with good reason) about his awful haircut. Yikes.
-Lyschko with characteristic scheelem blick (askance look). And hanging out between takes. And clowning.
-The caption says it all: Krabat+Tonda


There are more full size stills at AceShowBiz.com (Which seems to be a repository for promotional materials for films.) Most of the movie is dark, so it's easier to adapt graphics from well lighted photos than from screencaps. Frex, Tonda. And also, Krabat.


I am picky and eccentric about art, but below I link to what I particularly liked from DA.

-Crows in flight around the black mill
-The Kantorka making her choice
-Krabat with his magic staff as in the 2008 movie
-ASP reading a book that appears to be coming to life
-Worschula, a.k.a., a really evocative hand study
-Visual character studies of the Goodman (der Gevatter) and the Master
-Skull with artfully placed candlewax
-The Master giving lessons in the black school


Interesting things from the Tumblr tag.

Excerpt from an interview with the man who got Krabat back in print in English. Fan complaint about the title change.

Illustration from the Russian translation of Krabat, II. And Russian illustrations in a completely different style, covering scenes that tend to be ignored by fanartists.

A book review for Krabat that introduces the story. I find this useful because sometimes producing a *short* and user-friendly summary of a canon I love is hard. In a similar vein, a positive review for the film adaptation.

As of about a month ago, this streaming link was still in use. The image quality isn't very good, but it's an alternative to tracking the full movie down on YouTube. Sound is in German, subtitles are in English.

Icons of Daniel Bruhl and Robert Stadlober as Tonda and Lyschko, respectively.

Movie stills that I haven't seen elsewhere - Tonda - II, Hanzo - II, Lyschko, and Merten. I could have sworn there were some of Juro, but I'm not finding any now.

I have no idea what they're doing, but David Kross and Robert Stadlober in civilian clothes holding hands over a tarot deck. With another guy in the middle. *shrugs* And an equally strange photoshoot that includes Daniel Bruhl.

A behind the scenes "how it was done" that made me laugh. Yay for not falling into the mill pond while gazing at his beloved? Additionally, this little kid looks so thrilled to be rescued from bandits. Everyone else is like "aaaugh, danger!!" and she has a brilliant smile.

A fan crowing victoriously about having convinced their best friend that slash is canon-compatible with Tonda/Krabat.

Links and pictures related to the original Krabat folktale (below the movie screenshots).

Pics from a Krabat-themed mill in Schwarzkollm. And their current miller - Dieter Klimek.

There is apparently a ballet adaptation of Krabat. Photoset contains a promotional poster. Also, a random still?

And finally, a picturesque shot of someone reading in winter. Krabat novel and hot chocolate. Yes.


I am not the right person to summarize what there is on YouTube because TV-ish things tire me out. If someone else wants to comment with recs, about this or anything else, input would be appreciated. This post also got too long to tackle fanfic, so - topic for future post.
