Jurgon's production of January by Jordan Raditschkow , which premiered in Magdeburg in 1978, was broadcast on East German television in 1980 . From 1986 to 1994 he was senior director of the Hans-Otto-Theater Potsdam, where he a. a. Jörg Schüttauf helped to get his first engagement. In 1989, Jurgons staged the world premiere of Ulrich Plenzdorf's drama Zeit der Wölfe (based on the novel Die Richtstatt by Tschingis Aitmatow ).
