Munich, 3 Elisabeth Street
:03:18
How do you do, Mr. Herzog?
:03:20
Herr von der Recke, I hope you
are prepared for this invasion.
:03:25
Yes, we are.
:03:28
You do know, that this apartment
has a very special meaning for me.
:03:33
As a thirteen-year-old
schoolboy, I used to live here...
:03:36
...with my mother and
my two brothers.
:03:39
This was a small, rather shabby
boarding house...
:03:42
...now restored of course.
- That was in the Fifties?
:03:45
I was just thirteen.
:03:48
The odd thing was that I lived here
with Klaus Kinski for 3 months.
:03:53
Oh, really?
:03:55
It was a chain of coincidences.
:03:57
The owner of the boarding house,
Klara Rieth, an elderly lady of 65...
:04:02
...with wildly dyed orange hair, had
a soft spot for starving artists...
:04:07
...as she herself had come
from a family of artists.
:04:11
Kinski had been living nearby
in an attic, without furniture...
:04:16
...just bare beams, and everything
covered knee-high with dead leaves.
:04:20
He posed as a starving artist and
walked around stark-naked.
:04:24
Stark-naked?
:04:25
Yes, when the postman rang...
:04:27
...Kinski rustled through his leaves,
stark-naked, and signed.
:04:32
Where was that?
:04:34
Somewhere nearby.
:04:37
But he wore clothes
when he lived here, I hope?
:04:39
Yes, but from the very first
moment, he terrorized everyone.
:04:43
There were 8 parties living here.
He locked himself into the bathroom...
:04:47
The bath over there...
:04:49
- Wasn't there a door there?
- Yes, it led to the bathroom.
:04:53
- May we?
- Yes, go ahead.
:04:58
This room, to the left, was bigger.
