[drachenwiki]

Exactly 100 years ago, on the 14th of February, 1924, the movie "Die Nibelungen" was released. Based on the Nibelungenlied and adjacent sources, it featured the first dragon ever depicted in a live-action movie.

Fafnir was depicted as an animatronic that was moved around the set on rails. Not only was the dragon artificial, so was the whole forest. The set has been built from plaster because the artificial dragon would've looked out of place in a natural forest.

The movie is in the public domain and can be watched on youtube with English subtitles:

The second part was released on April 26th 1924 and does not feature a dragon but rather the spectacular revenge of Kriemhild against the Nibelungs.

what is the nibelungenlied and why do you like it ? :)

the nibelungenlied is a 13th century german epic poem about. okay lets see if i can put this simply. loyalty death prophecy gendered violence tragedy and the collapse of the chivalric paradigm into untold horror and blood. i learned about it taking a medieval german literature class in university and it got stuck inside me like a worm. i think it is because it is unmistakeably a tragedy and all of its characters are deeply flawed and come to their downfall specifically because of the awfulness of the structures of their society. Themes and stuff. also fritz lang turned it into a duology of silent films (die nibelungen) which are mindblowingly good

quick rundown this hale young prince (siegfried) who is famous for slaying dragons and having a magic sword and stuff comes to the kingdom of worms to woo its pretty princess (kriemhild) but her brother the king (gunther) has a price. which is to help HIM woo a brave warrior princess (brunhild) who hates men and will only marry a man who defeats her athletically. siegfried does this for gunther through trickery, and also assaults brunhild (implied sexually) pretending to be gunther. so siegfried and kriemhild get married and brunhild becomes queen. later kriemhild pisses brunhild off and reveals that it was siegfried who defeated & assaulted her and brunhild plots to kill him (slay) with the king’s main advisor (HAGEN im hagen hive we love him) who hates siegfried for being annoying. so hagen kills siegfried Oops hunting accident!!

but kriemhild is like ok thats sus and gets remarried to attila the hun and moves away and sort of gathers power with the huns. and then years later she invites the whole court of worms to come to her sons baptism haha come closer this will not be a surprise red wedding esque massacre its okay :) im nice :) im a girl :) and hagen leads the party on even though theres all these terrible omens and then they get there and yup kriemhild does a red wedding and everyone dies. except brunhild who didnt come good for her. also hagen has a bard courtier swordsman boyfriend. a sunken cache of gold is involved but dont worry about it. Anyway did you get all that

#but also i might just like it because i can imagine a 2 season HBO limited series so clearly in my head #and one day i might just give up and write it #nibelungenlied #And kriemhild is one of thee fictional characters ever created #she is so touched in the head god bless
