In July 1948, Wegener collapsed on stage during a theatrical performance. The curtain was brought down and the rest of the performance was canceled. It was his last acting role, as he retired in an attempt to recuperate.
He died in his sleep in September 1948.
In 1945, with World War II over and Berlin in ruins, Wegener took initiative as president of an organization intended to improve the living standards for surviving citizens of Berlin.

In the 30's he returned to the direction and captured movies like "Ein Mann will nach Deutschland" (1934) and "Unter Ausschluss der Öffentlichkeit" (1937) on the screen.
Under the Nazi regime (1933-1945), several actors and directors faced persecution or exile.

The 1920 film remains one of the classics of German cinema. Wegener's other films often reflected his personal interests, such as trick photography, the supernatural, and mysticism.

In 1914 he shot "Der Golem"; with this movie he started a trilogy - probably the first one in film history - and it followed "Der Golem und die Tänzerin" (1917) and "Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam" (1920). With last one he achieved the first worldwide success for a German movie.
