Maybe this really is a silly question but I am sure some clever Tanzblrs know anything: I always wondered about the term „Sternkind“ (despite I love it of course). Is there any evidence anywhere why is was used or was it just an invention by Kunze? I cannot remember that is was mentioned in the film. What is the meaning of it or does Krolock use it just because it sounds good? The only sad connotation I have to this term is that unborn babies with a weight of under 500g that die before, during or after birth (but parents use the term also for babies with more than 500g) are called „Sternenkinder“ in German. But that sad connotation could not be intended. So what´s up to Sternkind? Anyone?
It’s a Nietzsche reference. Kunze answered this question here:
