One day, in 1828, the same man takes Hauser out of his cell, teaches him a few phrases, how to walk, before leaving him in the town of Nuremberg. Hauser becomes the subject of much curiosity, is exhibited in a circus before being rescued by Professor Georg Friedrich Daumer, who patiently attempts to transform him. Hauser soon learns to read and write, develops unorthodox approaches to logic and religion, he attracts the attention of academics and nobility. He is physically attacked by the same unknown man who brought him to Nuremberg.
The attack leaves him unconscious with a bleeding head. He is again mysteriously attacked. Hauser rests in bed describing visions he has had of nomadic Berbers in the Sahara Desert, dies. An autopsy reveals cerebellum; the casting and character names are based on the submission to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. Herzog has been quoted as saying that the title for the film was inspired by a sentence in the novel Macunaíma by Brazilian writer Mário de Andrade; the film follows the real story of Kaspar Hauser quite using the text of actual letters found with Hauser, following many details in the opening sequence of Hauser's confinement and release. The characters of Professor Daumer and of Lord Stanhope are based on historical figures, Georg Friedrich Daumer and Philip Henry Stanhope, 4th Earl Stanhope, respectively. An English-language translation of the screenplay was published in 1980. Herzog discovered the lead actor, Bruno Schleinstein, in a documentary about street musicians Bruno der Schwarze, es blies ein Jäger wohl in sein Horn.
Fascinated, Herzog cast him as the lead for The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser despite the fact that he had no training as an actor. Further, the historical Hauser was 17 when the film implies this. Schleinstein was 41 years old at the time of filming, although his character is treated and described throughout as a youth. Schleinstein's own life bore some similarities to Kaspar Hauser's, his own unbalanced personality was expressed on set. In Herzog's commentary for the English language DVD release, he recalls that Schleinstein remained in costume for the entire duration of the production after shooting was done for the day. Herzog once visited him in his hotel room, to find him sleeping on the floor by the door, in his costume. Schleinstein was credited only as "Bruno S." in the film. Herzog subsequently wrote Schleinstein into the screenplay for Stroszek; the Production Designer for the film was Henning Von Gierke. The outdoor scenes were filmed in the town of Dinkelsbühl and on a nearby mountain called Hesselberg.

In 2005, critic Walter Chaw summed up the film as "a strange, brave performance housed in an anti-linear film stuffed with obscure images and silent passages of profound, frightening insight", adding "That the director identifies so with a foundling in 19th century Germany who appeared in the middle of a town square having spent his whole life chained to a floor in a basement dungeon speaks volumes to Herzog's feeling of detachment in intellectual and social environments." In 2007, the critic Roger Ebert wrote a retrospective review of the film, which he had included in his list of "Great Movies", saying "In Herzog the line between fact and fiction is a shifting one. He cares not for accuracy but for effect, for a transcendent ecstasy."Writing in 2001, Maria Racheva said "..
Herzog, the director, unlike François Truffaut in The Wild Child, is not interested in showing the painful process of adaptation to civilized surroundings. His difficulties in communication are not the result of any linguistic inadequacies; that is why Herzog seems to wish to persuade us that, despite being gratuitous, both the early isolation and the surprising death of his hero are somehow logical.... This summary of plot sounds like a fairy tale—and it is. Most of Herzog's films recall fables, and, one of the reasons for their success."On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 95% score based on 21 reviews, with an average rating of 8.3/10. The film was invited for the 1975 Cannes Film Festival, it won the Grand Prix Spécial du Jury, the second prize for films "in competition" at the festival.

The Tred Avon River is a main tributary of the Choptank River in Talbot County on Maryland's Eastern Shore. The river is 17 miles long; the Tred Avon's headwaters are located 2.5 miles southeast of Easton, the county seat. The river flows 5 miles west past the city widens and flows southwest about 12 miles to the mouth just south of Oxford at Benoni Point; the mouth is marked by a 35-foot spider in the main channel. "Tred Avon" is a corruption of "Third Haven." It follows. The United States Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System lists the following variant names for the Tred Avon River: Third Haven Creek Third Haven River Threadhaven Creek Trad Avon River Tread Haven Creek Treavon Creek Tred Aven River Tred Haven River Tredaven Creek Tredaven Creeke Tredavon Creeke Tredhaven Creek Trudhaven River With the colonial port of Oxford founded near its mouth between 1666 and 1668, the river served as a major shipping lane in the international tobacco trade until the end of the American Revolutionary War, when wheat became the Eastern Shore's main cash crop and Oxford's monopoly on colonial trade ended, leading to an economic downturn.
With the decline in trade came a post-Civil War rise in oyster harvesting, causing a renewed local economic boom lasting until the depletion of oyster beds in the Tred Avon and lower Choptank in the 1920s from overharvesting. Maryland governor Martin O'Malley sought to revive the river's oyster beds through citizen participation by initiating the "Marylanders Grow Oysters" project in September 2008, which encourages waterfront property owners to grow oysters from their piers using cages; the Oxford–Bellevue Ferry, believed to be the oldest operated ferry service in the United States, offers shuttle service across the river from April to November.
