Hey, Gerda Arendt I'm not sure what this means, and it's not got a citation: From 1925, he worked at different German theatres in Mainz, Bochum, Augsburg and Freiburg, between 1926 and 1937. It's the two different datings that is confusing me. --valereee (talk) 11:14, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also this, which I can't get to the citation for: The theatres of the company, which had been destroyed during the war, were replaced by one house, inaugurated in December 1963, which was based largely on his suggestions. What was based largely on Buckwitz' suggestions? The design of the house, the fact the (two?) theaters were replaced by a single house? And I assume the 'his' does refer to Buckwitz, not to the guy he'd just brought in as musical director? --valereee (talk) 11:20, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

He tried to raise interest for the theatre among a new demographic. I'm having a hard time finding what this demographic was in the source -- I searched on 'young' but only found that he'd been criticized by younger people as being provincial. --valereee (talk) 11:26, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"... "Theater in die Betriebe“, mit dem er das Theater für alle Schichten der Bevölkerung erschließen wollte" - "Theatre to the factories“, a project to open theatre to all social classes. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:18, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
