Herakles (1962)
Short film using newsreel footage.

The Unprecedented Defence of the Fortress Deutschkreuz (1967)
Short film by Werner Herzog filmed in Deutschkreuz, Austria. Herzog's official website describes the film as ""A satire on the state of war and peace and the absurdities it inspires.

Last Words (1968)
A report about the last Turk's footmark, the last words of a man suffering from leprosy and about the man who even refuses to say 'no'.

The Flying Doctors of East Africa (1969)
The work of the African Medical and Research Foundation in ensuring aid to remote villages in East Africa.

Precautions Against Fanatics (1969)
The film features several horse trainers and other track workers talking about their roles at the track, always eventually interrupted by an older man who claims to be the true authority, and demands that they be thrown out. One recurring young man, the first to appear, claims that he protects the horses from enthusiastic racing fans. He does not appear to be employed by the track, but seems to provide his services voluntarily. His protection from "fanatics" gives the film its title. Also featured is a man who trains the horses by walking them around a tree for 36 hours at a time, and a man whose job is "doping" the horses with garlic before races. The film ends with the young man who protects against fanatics seated at a zoo. He says that the track officials asked him to leave, and now he protects the zoo's flamingos from fanatics.

Fata Morgana (1971)
Footage shot in and around the Sahara Desert, accompanied only by a spoken creation myth and the songs of Leonard Cohen.

Land of Silence and Darkness (1971)
Through examining Fini Straubinger, an old woman who has been deaf and blind since adolescence, and her work on behalf of other deaf and blind people, this film shows how the deaf and blind struggle to understand and accept a world from which they are almost wholly isolated.

Handicapped Future (1971)
Documentary about an experiment in Swadlincote where mentally handicapped children are integrated with ordinary children in the class-room.

The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner (1974)
A study of the psychology of a champion ski-jumper, whose full-time occupation is carpentry.
How much Wood would a Woodchuck chuck (1978)
Herzog examines the world championships for cattle auctioneers, his fascination with a language created by an economic system, and compares it to the lifestyle of the Amish, who live nearby.

No One Will Play with Me (1976)
Martin is a young boy who sits in a corner while the children play at school. The other children dislike his shabby appearance, and refuse to play with him. With some effort, Martin convinces a classmate, Nicole, to come to his house and play with his talking raven. Martin explains that his mother is sick with cancer and cannot cook for him, and consequently he eats only popcorn. Martin's father beats him. Nicole becomes Martin's only friend, and he is so thankful that he gives his raven to her as a gift. Nicole then collects money from the other children to buy Martin a pair of guinea pigs.

La Soufrière (1977)
Herzog takes a film crew to the island of Guadeloupe when he hears that the volcano on the island is going to erupt. Everyone has left, except for one old man who refuses to leaves. Herzog catches the eeriness of an abandoned city, with stop lights cycling over an empty intersection.

I Am My Films (1979)
'None of my films is cinema vérité. It's only the simplest form of truth.' Herzog recalls youthful travels in Africa, 'with rats nibbling my elbow'; opines on filmmaking: 'humiliations are an essential part in making films;' and on working with actor Klaus Kinski: 'temperamentally, he's inclined to hysteria.' With clips from his features and documentaries from the 60s and 70s.

Huie's Sermon (1983)
This film, consists almost entirely of a sermon delivered by Huie Rogers in Brooklyn. Rogers is very animated and powerful and works himself into a near frenzy. There is nothing in the way of context except a couple of scenes (presumably to cover the gaps while reloading the camera) of the surrounding neighborhood, sadly dilapidated buildings.

God's Angry Man (1983)
The film consists of footage of Scott on the set of his television program Festival of Faith and interviews with Scott and Scott's parents conducted by Herzog. The footage from Scott's television program focuses almost exclusively on his fundraising efforts and an elaborate rant against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Scott at one point refuses to speak until his viewers pledge an additional $600. After a minute's silence, he yells angrily at the camera until a production assistant informs him that they had already received $700. Scott represents the FCC on his show by a cymbal-banging monkey toy.

The Dark Glow of the Mountains (1985)
Documentary about the mountaineers Reinhold Messner and Hans Kammerlander.

Ballad of the Little Soldier (1984)
Documentary film directed by Werner Herzog about children soldiers in Nicaragua. The film focuses on a group of Miskito Indians who used children soldiers in their resistance against the Sandinistas.

Wodaabe: Herdsmen of the Sun (1989)
Herzog's documentary of the Wodaabe people of the Sahara/Sahel region. Particular attention is given to the tribe's spectacular courtship rituals and 'beauty pageants', where eligible young men strive to outshine each other and attract mates by means of lavish makeup, posturing and facial movements.

Echoes from a Somber Empire (1990)
Documentary about the self-proclaimed emperor Jean-Bedel Bokassa from the Congo (Central African Republic) stemming from investigations by journalist Michael Goldsmith. Himself one of Bokassa's victims, Goldsmith interviews members of the Bokassa family, lawyers and previous president David Dacko about the regime's brutality. Bokassa, having been sentenced to death is now serving life imprisonment. This documentary is introduced by Werner Herzog as at the time, Goldsmith had been missing while reporting the recent civil war in Liberia. Since then having been detained and beaten by Liberian Government soldiers, he was released and died soon after a massive stomach haemorrhage on 24.10.1990.

Jag Mandir (1991)
Jag Mandir, sometimes known by its subtitle, The Eccentric Private Theatre of the Maharaja of Udaipur (German: Das excentrische Privattheater des Maharadscha von Udaipur), is a 1991 documentary film directed for television by Werner Herzog. The bulk of the film consists of footage of an elaborate theatrical performance for the Maharana Arvind Singh Mewar at the City Palace of Udaipur, Rajasthan staged by André Heller.

Lessons of Darkness (1992)
This film shows the disaster of the Kuwaitian oil fields in flames. In contrast to the common documentary film there are no comments and few interviews. What must have been the hell itself is presented to the viewer in such beautiful sights and beautiful music that one has to be fascinated by it. The German title translates 'lessons in darkness'.

Bells from the Deep (1993)
Werner Herzog's documentary investigation of Russian mysticism. The first half of the film is concerned primarily with a Russian faith healer and a man claiming to be the reincarnation of God as was Jesus. The second half of the film is primarily concerned with the legend of the lost city of Kitezh. This myth is about a city that was in peril of being destroyed by marauding Mongols, but whose citizens prayed for rescue.
