Life

Dimmler designed under the title Winnetou fabric from the Travel stories Winnetou I and Winnetou III of Karl May for the stage. The world premiere took place on November 8, 1919 at the Deutsches Theater in Munich .

The textbook was published by Karl May Verlag in 1928, was very well received - now as an official edition, so to speak - and was used as a template for many productions of the Winnetou material up until the 1970s. The piece was performed almost 400 times in Germany, Austria and Hungary .

In 1929 Carl Zuckmayer reviewed this Winnetou dramatization in the Vossische Zeitung . This review was reprinted in the 1931 Karl May yearbook.
