Josef Coenen was born on 30 March 1885 in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Coenen began working there in 1912 as a recording manager and director at the film production company Decla until 1916. From 1918 to 1920 he was again engaged as a director by Decla and staged several films with Carola Toelle in the leading role. Between 1922 and 1929 Josef Coenen owned his own production company in Munich . In 1929 an obligation took him to Paris (Perret Pictures). The transition to the sound film failed Coenen; from 1932 to 1936 he was ill, since January 1938 unemployed. His last sign of life dates from 1941.

Der Herr der Welt

1914

Twenty years ago, the Count of Groningen left his ancestral castle. Since then, it is said to be haunted. Shortly before his escape from the dark walls, the Count had left his newborn child to the care of the administrator and farmer Grödner. The nasty Grödner had already swapped his own child Veronika with the Count's in the cradle, probably because he hoped to one day gain possession of the castle.

A man receives a brand new £100 note from the bank. He gives one of these notes to a friend from the Royal Club. He jokingly says, "You won't be seeing that again any time soon". A wager is born, because Gardefeu bets that he can find the same note again within three months, no matter which way it travels around the world.
