About the accessible source

In the extract transcribed by filmportal.de, Hans Wollenberg welcomes Nosferatu as an unusual experiment in cinematic horror. He contrasts it with familiar romances and mechanical adventure stories, placing its treatment of fear alongside literary precedents. Mountains, rough seas, clouds and old buildings are praised as active parts of the film’s atmosphere. Wollenberg urges exhibitors to make the film available beyond the small audience at its premiere. This account covers the institutional extract: filmportal.de visibly marks an omission, and the complete newspaper review has not been checked.

Hans Wollenberg, signed H.W., Lichtbild-Bühne, number 11, 11 March 1922. The German text on filmportal.de was inspected again on 8 November 2026. It is an institutional transcription with an explicit omission, not a page facsimile or a verified complete review. The site labels the material as in copyright; the Estate provides an original account and a source link, not the full text or a full translation. The original issue scan remains outstanding.
