It was made at the Babelsberg Studios in Berlin[1] while location shooting took place around the Attersee (lake) in Austria.The film's sets were designed by the art director Erich Kettelhut. It was one of a significant number of films produced during Nazi Germany but not released until after the fall of the Nazi regime.[2] It was originally made in 1944 during the Second World War, but its release was delayed by four years before it eventually premiered in the Soviet Zone.[3]
