The film focuses on the development of absolutism in the Duchy of Wolfenbüttel under Duke Anton Ulrich, as preserved in pictorial documents and architectural monuments. In addition to the ideas of French absolutism, the court and government as well as the financing of the expenditure through taxes and duties, which placed an extraordinary burden on the people, are shown in detail.
