history

At the beginning of the 1950s, the city ​​administration of Bad Segeberg decided to perform Karl May's adventure novels as "Karl May Games" in the local Kalkberg Stadium. This had only been used occasionally for years. Many Bad Segebergers took part as extras , sewed costumes or looked after the horses borrowed from local farmers.

The budget for the first production by Lübeck's senior director Rudolf Ludwig was 25,000  DM , but several million euros are available in the 21st century.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany , no major events may take place anywhere in Germany in 2020. The planned performance of The Oil Prince has been canceled for the 2020 season and will be shown in summer 2021.

backgrounds

The decision substances by Karl May in Kalkberg Stadium to stage, also because the Mays works in his home fell Saxony at that time, both culturally and politically and ideologically in the early 1950s by the GDR ostracized was. They wanted to give May a home in the Federal Republic of Germany and also to link the oversized Kalkberg Stadium created by the Reich Labor Service to a popular author's name; there is no biographical reference to May, such as Radebeul , to Bad Segeberg.

In 2003 there were 289,897 visitors, a personal record for Gojko Mitić as Winnetou. Mitić was the most consistent Winnetou actor. He only left in 2006.
