FTRC.BLOG / Murnau

Murnau

However, the story doesn't end there. In July 2015, Murnau's final resting place in Stahnsdorf South-Western Cemetery was desecrated in an unusual set of circumstances. His skull was stolen, and although wax residue found at the scene hinted at a possible occult motive, the perpetrators and their intentions remain shrouded in mystery. This macabre incident has cast a shadow over the legacy of one of cinema's most visionary figures, leaving an enduring question mark alongside his undeniable contributions to the art form. His skull has not been recovered since.
