In 1907, Richard Oswald mounted a version of The Hound of the Baskervilles in Praterstraße based on Der Hund von Baskerville: Schauspiel in vier Aufzügen aus dem Schottischen Hochland.

By 1914, Oswald was working as a script supervisor at Union-Vitascope studios in the Weißensee Studios. [2] Films based on mystery novels were very successful in German cinema at the time [2] so Oswald found himself in the position to pen a film script based on The Hound of the Baskervilles.
Richard Oswald penned the tale which blended Doyle's original story and Der Hund von Baskerville [2] and Rudolf Meinert was tasked with the direction. [2] [4]

Der Hund von Baskerville was so successful, it spawned five more films: Das einsame Haus, Das unheimliche Zimmer, Die Sage vom Hund von Baskerville, Dr. MacDonalds Sanatorium, and Das Haus ohne Fenster.
