revision

In 1950 Ludwig Körner himself (together with Roland Schmid) reworked his play from 1928 for open-air theaters (especially Bad Segeberg). In 1958 there was even a second edition of this textbook version.

The entire Klekih-petra episode is omitted here and the piece begins in the Pueblo of the Apatschen. Will Parker is finally allowed to complete the shamrock and Santer receives his cronies Clay, Gates and Summer. "Aunt Emma" became Rosalie Ebersbach again and Winnetou is allowed to die again to " Ave Maria ".

On September 3, 1952, the director Robert Ludwig and the actors Hans-Jürgen Stumpf , Hans Joachim Kilburger and Verena Schley presented the play on the NWDR television in Hamburg.

The actors played scenes for a quarter of an hour, costume designer Jacobi was cut in between and then Ludwig was interviewed by Udo Langhoff , who had advocated the idea. In 1952 there were around 300 registered televisions in Germany.

Bad Segeberg's city inspector Hans-Heinrich Köster had previously used a contact with a friend on television and in the following years repeatedly advertised television reports. NWDR director Werner Pleistern visited the games several times. The television programs “ Tagesschau ” (ARD) and “Wochenspiegel” (NWDR) brought contributions.
