Werner Herzog

[THIS IS A FANSITE] Werner Herzog was born Werner Stipetic, September 5, 1942, in Munich, Germany. His family[Mother & Siblings] moved to a remote Austrian Village after the house next to his in Munich was blown up nearing the end of WW2. When he moved back to Munich at the age of 12, he shared an apartment with Klaus Kinski, and this is where their relationship was formed. Herzog only made 5 films with Kinski, but they are his best known works. In his career, Herzog has made 39 Films, 4 Operas, and 15 T.V Programs. Herzog has been married 3 times[Martje Grohmann, Eva Mattes, and Christine Maria Ebenberger], and has 3 children.[Rudolph Amos Achmed, Hanna Mattes, and Simon David Alexander Herzog]"I am not an artist and never have been. Rather I am like a craftsman and feel very close to the mediaeval artisans who produced their work anonymously and who, along with their apprentices, had a true feeling for the physical materials they were working with." "I am someone who takes everything very literally. I simply do not understand irony, a defect I have had ever since I was able to think independently" "I invite any sort of myths [about myself] because I like the stooges and doppelgangers and doubles out there. I feel protected behind all these things. Let them blossom! I do not plant them, I do not throw out the seeds. I advise you to read Herzog on Herzog because there you see a few clarifications" ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------
