Werner Krauss, a renowned German actor, entered this world on June 23, 1884, in the charming town of Gestungshausen, situated within the picturesque region of Sonnefeld in the state of Bavaria, Germany. His illustrious career spanned numerous decades, with some of his most notable roles including the enigmatic and eerie "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" (1920),the historical drama "Paracelsus" (1943),and the biographical epic "Robert Koch: The Battle Against Death" (1939).
Throughout his personal life, Werner Krauss was fortunate enough to have shared his journey with three remarkable women - Liselotte Graf, Maria Bard, and Paula Saenger - who became his loving wives. Unfortunately, his life came to a close on October 20, 1959, in the vibrant city of Vienna, Austria, leaving behind a legacy that continues to captivate audiences to this day.
