Hanns Heinz Ewers third November 1871 - 12 June 1943 Ewers had a wildly eventful life with all kinds ups and downs. He seems to have been contradictory character, and sat, or had he always between two stools. Ride as a comedian and satirist, sharp-tongued attacks verspiesserte against the bourgeoisie. As an author he is today despite its circulation records to the Forgotten German literature. His choice of subjects was considered decadent and he let hardly a taboo of the time. Most of his subjects he drew from his exotic travels. Extended it into the fantastic, she wove with hallucinations, decadence, the occult, dream scenes and a good dose of sex.
other hand, he published story books for children and was one of the first film pioneers in the history one. He is the creator of the word "Kintopp. Ewers was the famed "Gallery of dreamers" out a series of books fantastic known authors, like ETA Hoffmann, Poe, Strobl, Oskar Panizza and Alfred Kubin. He advocated a elitist Jewish-German "cultural nation" and later collaborated some time with the Third Reich, and was then silenced by the Nazis banned from writing and that was until his death in practice. His influence on literature and the fantastic fantastic film is not to be underestimated.
Ewers continued from 1913 for the still young medium of film, which was at that time still considered "cheap carnival fun for the masses." The German Bioscop, a precursor company of Ufa, graduated in 1912 from Ewers and with the actor Paul Wegener a contract.
The Student of Prague (1913), the second film by Ewers and Wegener, is considered the first art film ever made, and thus as a milestone in film history. The Of the student Baldwin, who sold his image was of Poe's "William Wilson" inspires and reminds classical models, such as Adelbert dated from Chamisso's Peter Schlemihl Remarkable Story (1814), ETA Hoffmann's The history lost mirage (1815) and Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890).
Ewers had the idea, wrote the screenplay, along with the Danes led Stellan Rye director, and was production manager in the Old Town. Ewers turned up to the outbreak of World War II several films that are now largely been lost .
The story of the girl Alraune, he caused a scandal gained world fame and he became zummeistverkauften German writer of his time. The book was translated into 25 languages and the same title, "mandrake" same film several times.
Alraune is produced by artificial insemination. The semen was taken from a sex murderer at the time of his execution. This corresponds to the superstitions of the Alraunenpflanze, also called dwarf gallows , twines.
Alraune itself develops into a promiscuous, man-murdering, "femme fatale", and finally falls the vampirism and falls to his death.
1952 tried to Arthur Maria Rabenalt on a weak remake. Unfortunately Hildegard Knef was not what they promised on the posters.
