Harry Buckwitz

 * ... that when Harry Buckwitz was general manager of the municipal theatres in Frankfurt (new building pictured), he staged plays by Brecht including Mutter Courage, and won Georg Solti for the opera? Source:
 * Reviewed: Guðrún Björnsdóttir
 * Comment: The building was opened during his tenure, instead of the opera house and play house destroyed in the war. - Sorry for a day late.

 * Symbol question.svg Hook is interesting. Building image is free-use with Freedom of Panorama permitted in Germany. New article (missed by a day). Hook cited in German AGF'ed and sufficiently referenced. Length is ok. My question is the slight discrepancy for a link between the hook and the article. The hook links to Mutter Courage (Mother Courage), a character. The article, on the other hand, links to Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder (Mother Courage and her Children), a play. So which one is it?

 * Thank you for the review, and oops, - I fixed the link, but left the title short, for less German. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:01, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Can you confirm this sentence is sourced? "His appointment there led to a fierce controversy with the journalist Hans Habe, who accused him of having once been a henchman of Adolf Hitler, in an article for the newspaper Welt am Sonntag" OhanaUnitedTalk page 16:57, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
 * It is in the ref after the following sentence, Die Zeit. The section was translated before I got to the article, probable because it was better sourced than others. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:29, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

It is still lacking some references: Also, citing a reference in "Further reading" section is quite peculiar (also "WorldCat" is misspelled). I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve there. Since you used many German references, it's recommended that a German editor to also review the sources and affirm what was written matches with the references.

 * 1) "He also produced works by contemporary authors such as Friedrich Dürrenmatt, Max Frisch, Rolf Hochhuth, Eugène Ionesco, Arthur Miller, Jean-Paul Sartre and Tennessee Williams, some of them performed in Germany for the first time"
 * 2) In 1962, Buckwitz became vice president of the German Academy of the Performing Arts


 * I added a ref to the one already there (just a sentence later) for the authors and German premieres. Same ref for his presidency. I dropped the sentence about the move of that Academy, - have no time to dig up a ref for that minor detail. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:11, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
