Synopsis

In this version of the golem legend, the golem, a clay statue brought to life by Rabbi Loew in 16th century Prague to save the Jews from the ongoing brutal persecution by the city's rulers, is found in the rubble of an old synagogue in the 20th century. Brought to life by an antique dealer, the golem is used as a menial servant. Eventually falling in love with the dealer's wife, it goes on a murderous rampage when its love for her goes unanswered.

In 2007, a 77 meter length fragment (from Act IV) was newly found, and was presented at the Opening Gala of "CineFest 2007: 4th International Festival of German Film Heritage", along with the 20 meter length fragments from Act I that had already been preserved. It is available on Pal DVD as a supplement of its catalog "Film im Herzen Europas" (ISBN: 3883779261) and has also become available DVD alone in 2008.
