Blond Eckbert

About the show

Berthe tells Walther about her childhood with an old woman, a gem-laying bird and a dog, and how she stole the gems and fled. Eckbert becomes alarmed when Walther knows the dog’s name and later kills him. After the old woman reveals that she was also Walther and Hugo, and that Berthe was Eckbert’s half-sister, Eckbert goes insane and dies.
