After a stopover at the Bonn Opera , she came to the Wiesbaden State Theater in the early 1960s (probably in the 1960/61 season) . Here, too, Scholz continued to perform in the soubrette compartment.

In the 1963/1964 season she was heard at the Wiesbaden State Theater in the European premiere of Robert Ward's opera The Crucible .

In 1966 she also appeared as a guest in the television show One Will Win, recorded on March 12th of that year, together with Hans von Heerden , performing the duet Reich 'mich die hand, my life from Don Giovanni .
