Fräulein Hochgemuth , also known as Fräulein Hochmut , is a German silent film fun play from 1915 by Franz Hofer .
action
Mr. Lohmeyer is a thoroughly honest and down-to-earth contemporary. His wife comes from a noble family and is extremely class-conscious. This even goes so far that her family's coat of arms is emblazoned in the salon and next to it the portraits of her long-faded knight relatives in full regalia. Daughter Röschen inherited her mother's pride of nobility, no applicant for her favor or hand is good enough for her. Fräulein Haughty requires at least a baron as husband with a verifiable pedigree. In view of this smugness of his wife and daughter, Lohmeyer can only shake his head. To put an end to this nonsense, he sends his little daughter to live with his down-to-earth brother, Uncle Lohmeyer. He runs an errand boy agency in Berlin and is married to a solid, if not to say: coarse, honest woman.
Once there, Röschen is initially outraged that her father has obviously glued her. Röschen traveled to Berlin with the promise to get to know a possible husband through his uncle's well-born customers. And now that: the aunt is by no means comme il faut and also has the impertinence to use her, the high-born rose, in her service when the man is in need. In all seriousness, Röschen is supposed to represent a fancy errand boy and, in his servant's dress, bring a little dog to a baron's aunt. There she is supposed to receive some packages that have to be delivered to the baronal nephew. When the baron arrives, he asks the "boy" Röschen to do the services of his fancy servant and to help him bathe. Now it's enough for Röschen: she refuses the Lord's request and refers to her female gender. As expected, the baron then falls in love with the girl. As a result, Röschen finally got the husband she always hoped for.

criticism
“Like all of Franz Hofer's film amusements, this picture is also characterized by a charming character drawing of those people whom this outstanding director so likes to put on the stage. [...] The film ... is rich in funny, well-drawn episodes that have been copied from life. It is a very charming idea of the director to have pictures of the ancestors of the proud lady appear in the ancestral shield, which is emblazoned in the room of the proud mother, and finally also the mother's dream that the marriage of her daughter with the Baron will have numerous new ancestors may arise from a coming generation to embody in the frame of the shield.
