ThThe Metropolis Robot 'Maschinenmensch'© Project

Kropserkel Inc. & WSM Art Management proudly present the reincarnation

of the world's most iconic symbol of science fiction in the history of film.

 

Originally designed and fabricated in Berlin by master sculptor, Walter Schulze-Mittendorff in 1925-26 for Fritz Lang's

highly influencial, science fiction epic silent film "Metropolis" (1927). the Maschinenmensch figure has become

a grand symbol of the art deco style, and continues to be an inspiration to all who dream and design the future.

This site shall chronicle the recreation of the figure, cover it's public appearances the world over,

reveal the deeper meaning of the Maschinenmensch as it applied to audiences then, and how we are in service to it now.

We are the subject generation of Metropolis.
