Baron Frankenstein

Baron Frankenstein is a fictional baron who appears in Frankenstein, the 1931 film adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel. He is played by Frederick Kerr. Oldest known member of the Frankenstein family and patriarch of the town of Goldstadt, Baron Frankenstein was the father of Henry Frankenstein and grandfather to Wolf Frankenstein and Ludwig Frankenstein. The elderly Baron was extremely disdainful of his son spending all his time working in his secluded laboratory, and his one wish was for Henry to finally marry his fiancee Elizabeth. It is unknown if the baron lived to actually see Henry and Elizabeth married, but it is known that the old man died shortly after the first appearance of the Frankenstein Monster and the Frankenstein estate...
