"BAPHOMET" was mispronunciation of a word in Arabic, that the idiot Pope later used to help the corrupt King Phillip IV of France to get out of paying back the money that had been loaned to him, by the order of the Knights Templar and have the Grand Master of the Knights Templar and many of the other members of that part of the priesthood tortured and then burned to death as "heretics", which they weren't!
And that picture looks nothing at all like the drawings of Baphomet. Also, the "Pentagram" was a much, much later invention.
"METROPOLIS" was first shown in 1920, which was a year at the tail end of the great rise of "magical" secret societies in Europe, but also, as had happened in Europe and in America, the middle of a return to "spiritualism" and seances, after major wars.
Now remember, this film was written and made in Germany, where there was a pretty large segment of people involved in such societies as The Thune Society; which later on had a hold on many of the top Nazis.
You're reading all kinds of utter tripe into this movie, that doesn't exist!

The popular occult association isn’t exactly a secret:
