No juries in Germany, we did away with that around already the time of the Kaiser, who - with some archaic idiosyncrasies - was generally a man of the modern age.
Klaus otoh was brilliant and difficult. He wrote great, albeit disturbing poems. There is no more a tragic and emotional depiction of a vampire than his in Herzog's
Nosferatu remake. In one scene he makes a great case for the inability to die being the severest of all imaginable punishments.
Other than as a joke meme for his legendary outbursts (amusing as they are, they show someone who by today's standards would be qualified as mentally ill and in need of therapy; for all his intimidation he never got physically violent at the sets though), he has been pretty much cancelled out of German cinema history discussion. Having a love/sex relationship with your own daughter for 15 years kinda does that to you. Not Nastassja; Pola, the older one, they had different moms. Though he is supposed to have made approaches with Nastassja too.
