Extractions: Jokers Anmelden Postille Kontakt ... SUCHEN Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729-1781) 229. Todestag am 15. Februar Zwischen den Lessing-Jahren 2009 (280. Geburtstag) und 2011 (230. Todestag) wollen wir die Verschnaufpause nutzen, einmal in aller Ruhe einen kurzen Blick auf den Aufklärer und Wegbereiter des deutschen Theaters zu werfen. Der Wolfenbütteler Bibliothekar (das dortige Lessing-Haus ist immer eine Reise wert!) hat sicher selbst nicht geahnt, welche nachhaltige Wirkung er auf die deutsche Literatur- und Theatergeschichte haben würde. Dabei ist sein primäres Verdienst, das allem anderen zugrunde liegt, sein Vordenkertum in Bezug auf das zu seiner Zeit noch stark marginalisierte Bürgertum. Lessings unbedingter Freiheitsanspruch zieht sich denn auch als unübersehbarer roter Faden durch seine sämtlichen Schriften. Dass damit auch ein ganz klares Toleranzkonzept verbunden ist, das gleichzeitig das Bewusstsein des eigenen Seins und Wesens beinhaltet, diskutieren Schüler und Studenten seit vielen Generation anhand der ‚Ringparabel’ aus Nathan der Weise – ein Stück übrigens, das von den deutschen Theaterbühnen ebenso wenig wegzudenken ist wie einige andere Dramen Lessings, die seit ihrer Entstehung ihren festen Platz im deutschsprachigen Bühnenrepertoire haben.

Extractions: GOTTHOLD EPHRAIM LESSING (1729-1781) This article was originally published in A Short History of the Drama GOTTHOLD Ephraim Lessing's name belongs to the very first rank among writers for and about the theater. He was born in a Luteran clergyman's family, and began very early to show his interest in the stage, having written a comedy before he was seventeen. He came under the notice of Voltaire , who employed him in making translations. During several years Lessing was one of the contributors to Madame Neuber's Leipzig theater; but his dramatic principles, as they defined themselves, became more and more opposed both to those of Voltaire and the Leipzig school. His first important play, Miss Sara Sampson (1755) was not at all suited to the tastes of the pseudo-classicists. In 1767 Lessing became associated with a group of actors in Hamburg, at which place he wrote the justly celebrated Hamburg Dramaturgy , in which he explained to the world the principles underlying the art of the theater. The great event of the year 1767, however, was the production of his Minna von Barnhelm LESSING'S PLAYS Voltaire had warned his young translator against anything so banal as the of certain of his contemporaries; but
