"Aemaet", the life-giving word which Rabbi Lowe compels from the spirit Astaroth is also reflected in the bolts of lightning at the end of the creation scene.
This was the third of a trilogy that Paul Wegener made featuring the Golem, the other two being The Golem (1914) and the short comedy The Golem and the Dancing Girl (1917). This movie works as a prequel to the first film and is the only one that has not been lost.
Paul Wegener had the idea of making a film about the Golem after hearing the original legend being told in Prague, where he spent some time filming The Student of Prague (1913). Unhappy with his 1915 attempt at telling the story, he decided to make another film.
Lonis sister Ursula was supposed to play the child that destroyed the Golem, but she was too afraid of Paul Wegener in the Golem costume so she was replaced by her older sister Loni for that part. In the final print Ursula was left playing only one of the children.
Paul Wegener starred as Golem, co-directed the film with Carl Boese and was also co-writer with Henrik Galeen based on a Gustav Meyrink's novel from 1915.
