| Synopsis |
| Siegfried
wins the love of the beautiful princess
Kriemhild, but cannot marry her until
he finds a way to marry Kriemhild's
brother, King Gunther, to icy warrior
Queen Brunhilde. With Siegfried's
help, Gunther beats Brunhilde in
a battle of strength, and everyone
gets married. But the bitter, man-hating
Brunhilde does not like the situation,
and her ensuing treachery eventually
leads to Siegfried's early demise.

| Trivia |
| 'Die
Nibelungen' is based upon the epic
Teutonic poem "Das Nibelungenlied",
written around 1200 A.D. Modern day
audiences will probably be familiar
with the storyline of good vs. evil
as presented in Wagner's Der Ring
der Nibelungen operatic interpretation.
The films use the same myths, part
one being 'Siegfried', part 2 'Kriemhild's
Revenge' (aka Kriemhild's Rache).
