In the 1929 film Pandora’s Box, Lulu’s wealthy lover is Ludwig Schön, so his surname is Schön.
The character is played by Fritz Kortner and is one of the central figures in the film’s network of desire, jealousy, and social power. Lulu’s relationship with Schön contributes to the film’s escalating conflicts and helps drive its tragic plot. The character’s name is taken from Frank Wedekind’s source plays, though the film reshapes the material for the silent screen.
The umlaut in Schön is part of the German spelling. In contexts where diacritics are unavailable, the name may be written Schoen, but Schön is the standard form used in references to the character.
Georg Wilhelm Pabst directed the film, Louise Brooks played Lulu, and Frank Wedekind wrote the plays behind it. Those names are connected to the production but are not the surname requested here.
