I've just read the reviews on German amazon, and everyone seems to like it a lot. Which is fine by me, because I've already ordered it. I've also got the soundtrack, and although there are some things on it which aren't quite the way they are in the German version of the film, I like it a lot, too.
I'm not sure where you're writing from, but I'd like to know if this a well-known film abroad or just here. -

Yes, it is a very popular film in Germany. At least for anybody growing up since 1973, the year the movie was made, it is a great rememberance of our childhood. And it is still, today, on TV around Christmas, partly even on the local TV stations in the evening program for the adults on Christmas Eve. There is even a fan club meeting every year in a castle in the "Sauerland" mountains.
"Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella" (if you translate the German title literally) was a cooperation between the former DDR (East-Germany) and the former Checoslovakia. Is is really a nice fairy-tale movie. The story is slightly different to the one you might know by the Brothers Grimm. It sticks to a more east-European version. By this you can see that the motives of the fairy-tales were spread all over Europe.
If you like the castle: It is "Moritzburg" near Dresden in the German federal state Saxony. Once you are in Europe, you can visit it if you like.

Hi,
just to correct the previous contribution - the movie is entirely made by Czechs, Germans (west Germans) provided capital through DDR Defa film studios. The movie is not based on East-European version, but on the old Bohemian fairy tale which became popular in 19. century thanks to Bozena Nemcova's book of fairy tales. Lastly, the castle is nowhere in Germany, but in the western Bohemia which is the western part of Czech Republic - and it's name is Svihov (read Shveehov) and it is a well-known water castle. Below is some link to a shop where you can get a DVD version of it with English subtitles. There are also other great Czech movies available.

It seems that Moritzburg is the castle where the Prince lives,

while Svihov is the stepmother's place.

The actors playing the king and queen are definitely from East Germany. Also, if you look at the credits, a lot of the crew members have very German sounding names.
Lastly, the castle is nowhere in Germany, but in the western Bohemia which is the western part of Czech Republic - and it's name is Svihov (read Shveehov) and it is a well-known water castle.
The castle in which the prince is living is definitely Moritzburg. Believe me, I've been there.

The "Wasserburg" of Schwihau lies in Western Bohemia in the traditionally German-inhahabited Sudetenland region. The film is shot there, in the Bohemian Forest (also a traditional German area), in Brandenburg (DEFA studios), in Saxony (near Dresden), as well as some shots in the Barrandov studios in Prague.
The actual castle in the film is the Schloss Moritzburg at Dresden in Saxony: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Moritzburg_(Sachsen)
Some of the German actors in the film were the Step-Mother (Carola Braunbock, who was herself a Moravian German who was expulsed from Czechoslovakia in 1945 - which the film-makers or other actors didn't knew until she in the final days of shooting began talking to them in fluent Czech, at the set she has until then not spoken anything else than German), the King (Rolf Hoppe, a well-known German actor) and the Queen (Karin Lesch).
The film is based upon the fairy tale of Bozena Nemcova (born Barbara Betty Pankel), an Austrian-Bohemian writer. It is not a Czech nor a German tale, but a Bohemian one. -
