Bookkeeper Kremke

Bookkeeper Kremke (German: Lohnbuchhalter Kremke) is a 1930 German silent drama film directed by Marie Harder and starring Hermann Vallentin, Anna Sten and Ivan Koval-Samborsky.

It was made with backing from Germany's Socialist Party. It was one of two films, along with Brothers (1929), made at the time that espoused the movement's left-wing ideology. The film's sets were designed by Carl Ludwig Kirmse.

It was not a commercial success on its release, generally attributed to its theme and to the fact that it was a released as a silent at a time when cinemas had gone over almost entirely to showing sound films.
