Alraune is German for "Mandrake". The film is based on a novel by German novelist Hanns Heinz Ewers published in 1911.
The plot is a variation on the original legend of Alraune, in which a mad scientist creates a beautiful—but demonic—child from the forced union between a woman and a mandrake root fed by the blood of a hanged man.
