Rolf Schübel (born 11 November 1942 in Stuttgart, Germany) is a German film director and screenwriter. Schübel studied literature and sociology during the 1960s, first in Tübingen, and later in Hamburg. There he met filmmaker Theo Gallehr and assisted at his documentary Landfriedensbruch (1967). However, the film was not shown in television but went directly to the film archives; the NDR (North German Broadcasting Studios) as employer refused to broadcast the film because it was viewed as too radical.
