Due to censorship,

Tagebuch einer Verlorenen
was shortened and changed drastically.

In 1997, a reconstruction
and photochemical restoration

of the film
as it had originally been intended

was created by
the Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna,

the Deutsche Filminstitut - DIF,
Frankfurt am Main,

and the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung,
Wiesbaden.

It is based on the dupe negative
from the Danish Film Institute, Copenhagen.

Most of the missing scenes were added
from a contemporary copy

from the Archivo Nacional de la Imagen -
Sodre, Montevideo.

The reconstruction of the edit
that was shown at the film's premiere

is based on a comparison
of the surviving copies,

as well as the censor records
of the Filmoberprüfstelle Berlin.

The wording of the German intertitles

was recreated with the aid of
German-French intertitles

from a copy at the Cinémathèque Royale
de Belgique, Brussels.

A few surviving German titles

from the copy at the Archivo Nacional
de la Imagen - Sodre, Montevideo

served as a model for the typography.

The master negative of this edit
was used for the 2K digital version.

For this HD mastering,
the image has been corrected in places,

and heavy damage
to the film has been retouched.

So you've had your way
with this housekeeper too!

Why is Elisabeth leaving,
- today of all days?

PHARMACY

Oh why does Elisabeth
have to go away?

I'll tell you about it this evening
- little Thymian!

- big Thymian!

My confirmation gift!

But... I'm no countess!

That doesn't matter -
I'm Count Osdorff!

This evening at half past 10
in the pharmacy

This is Meta,
my new housekeeper!

Good night, Herr Pharmacist!

I'm all alone!

I want to be here for you!

I'll tell you what happened
with Elisabeth!

- I'll tell you everything!

And she doesn't want to say
who the father is.

You have to marry her.

Yes, if the pharmacy weren't
so heavily mortgaged - -!

Of course,
Thymian must be asked, too.

I can't marry him,
I don't even love him - -!

Don't lay a finger
on the innocent child, - you -!

The family -

- - has decided - -

Ww. Bolke: Midwife

RULES OF ATTENDANCE:
Forbidden...

Dear Father,

Dear Osdorff,
I am so unhappy.

Your nephew still doesn't
want to obey, Herr Count.

I've tried everything with you,
every school and every trade,

you've failed at all of them!

Now I've had enough!
See how far you get on your own.

In the reformatory one lived
according to the house-rules.

And so the housekeeper
became the lady of the house.

Thymian's Room

NURSERY

Count Osdorff resolved
to help Thymian.

Dear Osdorff,
I am so unhappy.

What did I actually do
that I am treated so strictly and cruelly?

...because Meta has Father
wrapped around her finger.

I beg you to go to him.
Perhaps then I'll be able to go home again.

Yours,
Thymian

- ...I'm afraid to write to Father,
Meta is so mean... -

I heard that your uncle
has thrown you out - -

- - go now to Thymian.
You belong together:

the outcast and the lost girl.

Go to her -
tell her something nice -!

Here the pharmacy won't be
auctioned off to you just yet,

now that I possess the mortgages.

Even the strictest discipline
cannot repress

the girls' desire to look pretty.

PUNISH ERIKA

Count Nikolaus Osdorff

The Count claims to come
on behalf of your father.

No-one at home wants to know
anything more about you,

Meta has married your father.

Steal the key,
and I'll help you further.

I'll wait for you tonight
in front of your house!

I know where we can stay.

No, I want to go to my child.

I'll write down for you
where I can be found.

Bar "FOR TWO ANGELS"
Dessauer Str. 17

I'd like to see my child.

Little Erika Henning - -

She happens to be dead - -

He just took her away.

Where you headed, luv?

- - to Erika!

Erika and Count Osdorff
are received with open arms

by the proprietress
of the establishment.

And what's more,
he leaves his regards!

Oh, be reasonable, little one,

you don't even have
a shirt on your back!

If your friend helps you,
you'll be outta this whole mess!

Me?! I'm penniless, and my uncle
won't give me anything more!

I want to go to work!

What are you able to do,
my poor little thing?

Be so kind as to place
this advert in the paper.

Dance Lessons, Thymian Henning
Dessauer Str. 17

Dance Lessons
by the beautiful Thymian Henning

Little child,
how did you end up here...?

...I tell you,
you'll bitterly regret this!

That's Dr. Vitalis -
he always wants to save us -

- but in the end he joins us.

You look like you're
at a funeral, dear friend;

try and be a li'l happy!

Today's your birthday?

I know how I'll help:
we'll do a lottery for you.

Once a year the pharmacist
takes his wife out on the town.

So here you have
the seamy side of the big city.

And what can you
win with the lot?

Yes, Thymian,
now you are a lost girl -

- just as we're all lost!

Three years have passed
since the painful meeting

between father and daughter.

Thymian still leads the same life.

After a brief, trying illness,
my beloved husband,

the pharmacist
Karl Friedrich Henning

passed away yesterday,
on the 17th of June, 1929.

INHERITANCE NOTICES

Thymian Henning,
as legal heir to Herr Henning's estate,

is requested to attend
the reading of the will,

which will take place
in the house of the deceased.

Money will enter the house -
over a short course -

by way of a dark lady!

Why, you're rich!

Yes, I could start another life - -

For another life -
you need a new identity!

He should marry her!

Countess Thymian Osdorff,
there's an identity!

You insist on exercising your right

to take over the pharmacy...

...and drive your friend's poor widow
out of her home?

Countess, Herr Meinert
has redeemed the mortgage

of 45,000 marks that you inherited
from your mother...

and thus becomes the sole owner
of the pharmacy.

Here is the money.

Filthy slut!

The money!
Where's all the money? -

I gave it to my little sister,
so she doesn't end up like me.

And me?
Am I to blame in the end?

I, his uncle,
bear most of the blame.

I should never have repudiated
that helpless lad!

May I attempt to repay you
with the debt I owe him?

We're now in Swinemünde.
Uncle Osdorff is so kind to me.

My former life often seems
like an ugly, terrible dream.

Cousin Osdorff -!

My niece -
Countess Osdorff.

Little Thymian,
you don't recognise me anymore?

Dear Countess, I hope
you'll let me take care of you.

I'd like -
for us to leave!

We beg you, dear Countess,
to work with us

in our society for saving
wayward young girls.

Countess Thymian Osdorff
is invited to the board meeting

and to examine our institution
on 19 August 1929.

Our youngest member -
Countess Osdorff.

Today we have an
especially difficult case.

A young girl has once again
been entrusted to us...

...who has struck down
our every educational measure

by repeatedly running away.

How we've worried about her -

Fabulous!! My dear,
try the soup they make here!

Yet she constantly turns away
from the blessings of our home -

I know this house
and its "blessings" -

Your ignorance won't help her -

I want to try,
for I was once what she is.

A little more love and no-one
would be lost in this world!
