Remarks

1. ↑ Giesrau enforced the early termination of his contract, among other things with the argument that the prevailing sanitary conditions in the outdated building, in particular the risk of cholera , justified a termination of the contract without any legal disadvantage for him. - In: Dirk Strohmann: Maurice Maeterlinck's reception in the German-speaking countries (1891-1914) .
