The
  Rudolf Klein-Rogge
Fanpage
A tribute to the gentleman behind the madman
Guten Tag and welcome to my tribute page to the most memorable and awe-inspiring silent film actor to come out of 1920s Germany.  With this site, I hope to bring to this man his due recognition for his efforts, and maybe help some people learn a little more about him than what is readily available in English print. 

In his memory, I have set up this website in order to bring the uninitiated a little closer to this fairly unknown actor.  It has been hard, and still is, to find information on Rudy (we like to call him that here), but I have been lucky enough to gather enough info to at least get something substantial put on the web.  On this site you'll find a fairly large collection of original autographs, book scans, DVD captures, filmographies, and the most complete biography on Rudy that could be put together from many different sources.  So, please take your time and look around, only be careful of the doors that may suddenly shut behind you...........

Use the scroller at the bottom of your screen to see both sides of this page clearly.  Although this page is wide, the rest should fit your screen without problem.

Picture disclaimer:  All of the images on this site, unless otherwise noted, are mine and are not to be taken from this site and used elsewhere without my permission.  But, I WILL allow anyone and everyone to use my DVD captured images for their own use.   Many of these images are hard for some to obtain and I do not mind for anyone to use them. 
                                Special note of thanks:  
To Rudolf, through both good and bad times, for doing his absolute best to make his audience happy, and for giving me a creative inspiration I've never had before,
To my mom for helping me hunt down infos and neat stuff about this actor,
To my sister for helping me with, well, lots of stuff,
To Rome and Shelly Maynard for encouraging me to make such a site as this come to light,
To Mark Goffee, for being a great silent film friend and for giving my site exposure through his own excellent site,
To Monika, for all her help with translation,
To Uwe Melchert, for his tremendous help with filling in huge gaps in Rudolf's biography and for translation,
To Aitam Bar-Sagi, for bringing some mistakes to my attention,
To all of the people that have lent a hand, and who I cannnot remember all of the names of,

                      And a particularly special thanks to:
Patrick McGilligan for his advice on where to research for this site,
and David Kalat for pointing me in the right direction to obtain the definitive version of "Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler".

And the most best thanks of all to He who has many names, who has helped me to make these friends, and who has blessed me with the talent to make all of this work possible.
