Conrad Wiene

He was the younger brother of German film director Robert Wiene.

He worked in Berlin, Prague and Breslau (Wrocław) and above all in Vienna, where several of his silent films were shot in the Schönbrunn Studios (Schönbrunn-Ateliers).

His name was connected with the first proposal in 1930 in Vienna to film Lion Feuchtwanger's 1925 historical novel Jud Süß ("Jew Süss"), but the project never reached the production stage.

[1] With the arrival and dominance of sound film, Wiene worked in Germany.

After Adolf Hitler took power in Germany in 1933, Wiene, who was Jewish,[2] left Berlin for Vienna.
