Lotte Reiniger, a pioneering director and writer of immense talent, emerged into the world on June 2, 1899, in the vibrant city of Berlin, Germany, a place that would later become a hub for artistic expression and innovation.
Throughout her illustrious career, Reiniger left an indelible mark on the world of film, with her most notable works including the critically acclaimed Silhouetten, released in 1936, as well as the enchanting Der Graf von Carabas, which premiered in 1935, and the nostalgic Lotte Reiniger - The Fairy Tale Films, which debuted in 1961.
Reiniger's personal life was filled with love and companionship, as she was married to the talented Carl Koch, a partnership that brought joy and creativity to her life.
Tragically, Reiniger's life came to a close on June 19, 1981, in Dettenhausen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, a place where she spent her final days surrounded by the beauty and serenity of nature.
