The dismay of her early death and her popularity she had show to advantage in the obituaries. The Film-Kurier wrote on February 6, 1920:
Gilda Langer died of influenza on Saturday, the 31st January, after a short illness. With her has passed a film artist of leading importance whose artistic rise wasn't finished and one had great expectations for her future in general, not least by the direction of "Decla". All this artistic work, these plans had been prematurely finished by the death. With the sympathy of her friends with her artistic and human personality the funeral took place at the cemetery in Stahnsdorf on Wednesday.
