The Deutsche Theater-Lexikon is, according to its subtitle, a "biography and bibliography manual". The encyclopedia lists stage actors from the German-speaking area.[1]
The Deutsche Nationalbibliothek leads the Deutsche Theater-Lexikon under the citation form "Kosch Theater"[2] in the list of the "Fachliche Nachschlagewerke for the Integrated Authority File“.[3]
History
The handbook was founded in 1953 by Wilhelm Kosch and was continued from the third volume by Hanspeter Bennwitz and Ingrid Bigler-Marschall. From 1953 to 2012, seven volumes were published (from Vol. 1: A-Hurk to Vol. 7: Wolbring-Zysset), plus three supplementary volumes since 2012 (as of November 2015).[3]
Until the second volume, the work was published by Kleinmayr (Klagenfurt and Vienna). The following volumes were published by Verlag Francke in Bern and Verlag Saur in Zurich and Munich.
