The Master of Nuremberg

The Master of Nuremberg () is a 1927 German silent historical comedy film directed by Ludwig Berger and starring Rudolf Rittner, Max Gülstorff and Gustav Fröhlich. It is based on the 1868 opera "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg" by Richard Wagner. It was considered artistically unsuccessful because of its overly theatrical presentation. It is also known by the alternative title The Meistersinger.
The film's sets were designed by the art director Rudolf Bamberger.
After completing the film Berger emigrated to work in Hollywood, although he later returned to Germany.
