Das falsche Gewicht is a 1971 West German drama film directed by Bernhard Wicki and produced for ZDF before receiving a limited theatrical release in 1973. Adapted from the 1937 novel Weights and Measures by Joseph Roth, it centres on the uncompromising provincial inspector of weights and measures Anselm Eibenschütz whose rigid moral code collides with the corruption of an impoverished Galician border village on the eve of the First World War.
