Following a failed marriage with struggling actor Ernst Matray, she was married to actor and film director Paul Wegener until his death in 1948.

Biography
Ayant commencé sa carrière d'actrice à l'aube des années 1920, Greta Schröder apparaît dans nombre de films rattachés au courant du cinéma expressionniste allemand. Son rôle le plus marquant est sans nul doute celui d'Ellen, la femme de Thomas Hutter et victime du comte Orlok qu'elle interprète dans le film muet Nosferatu le vampire (1922). Dans L'Ombre du vampire, réalisé en 2000 et qui reprend l'histoire du tournage du film, Greta est présentée comme une actrice célèbre, alors qu'au moment de Nosferatu le vampire, elle commençait tout juste à se faire connaître. Le point fort de sa carrière se situe véritablement dans les années 1920. Elle apparaît par exemple dans un autre film expressionniste, Le Golem. Dans les années 1930, elle tient surtout des rôles secondaires mais tourne aux États-Unis, notamment dans le film Victoria the Great en 1937. Elle continue de tourner jusqu'au début des années 1950.Greta Schröder a été mariée au danseur, acteur et réalisateur Ernst Mátray, puis au réalisateur Paul Wegener, jusqu'à son décès en 1948.

The film begins in 1813 after the phase of the Napoleonic Wars known in German as the Befreiungskriege (War of Liberation). The opening scenes show Prussian Landwehr and volunteers marching down the streets of Breslau through enthusiastic crowds. This is followed by a dialogue between King Frederick William III of Prussia and Count August von Gneisenau, in which Gneisenau explains that the siege of Kolberg taught the importance of citizen armies. Ending with the admonition that kings who cannot lead must abdicate, the scene switches to Vienna in 1806 to show the abdication of the last Holy Roman Emperor, Francis II of Austria, whom the script has Gneisenau call "an Emperor who abandoned the German people in their hour of need".

Thomas Hutter lives in the fictitious German city of Wisborg. His employer, Knock, sends Hutter to Transylvania to visit a new client named Count Orlok. Hutter entrusts his loving wife Ellen to his good friend Harding and Harding's sister Annie, before embarking on his long journey. Nearing his destination in the Carpathian mountains, Hutter stops at an inn for dinner. The locals become frightened by the mere mention of Orlok's name and discourage him from traveling to his castle at night, warning of a werewolf on the prowl. The next morning, Hutter takes a coach to a high mountain pass, but the coachmen decline to take him any further than the bridge as nightfall is approaching. A black-swathed coach appears after Hutter crosses the bridge and the coachman gestures for him to climb aboard. Hutter is welcomed at a castle by Count Orlok. When Hutter is eating dinner and accidentally cuts his thumb, Orlok tries to suck the blood out, but his repulsed guest pulls his hand away.
