Wim Wenders was born on the 14th of August, 1945, in Düsseldorf, Germany.The name “Wim” is rather of Dutch origin and had occurred on Wim’s mother’s side of the family. The name had been decided upon by his parents, but was refused by the authorities on grounds that it was not “a proper German name”. The most similar-sounding name was Wilhelm and so his birth certificate and his passport state his full name as Ernst Wilhelm Wenders, Ernst being his godfather’s name.
