Rotwang has a memorial monument to Hel. While it's explained that Hel was the late wife of Joh Fredersen, "Hel" is also the Norse goddess in charge of the "Halls of Hel," or underworld. Her name, and the location (often shortened simply to "Hel," which gave us the word hell), were synonymous with death. To be blunt, Rotwang was quite literally worshiping death, which helps explain his plan for the mechanical Maria.
