I love this thank you so much for sharing!!!! Not only is this super interesting and important queer german history, but its also good to know that i had something going when first saw his Mephisto and my first thought was “drag queen” ;)

So in the 1960 movie adaptation of Goethe’s play “Faust”, they chose to give the devil Mephistopheles a very different look than how he’s usually portrayed.

Here are a few images of what Mephisto is usually shown as looking like:

so just your very average looking devil/demon figure with a hat, you know?

But here’s what Mephisto looked like in the 1960 version:
