Theatermeister in München und Berlin
Brandt, Fritz (der Älte)
who then worked as technical director of the Königliche Schauspiele in Berlin for over four decades until 1917. Here he was instrumental in advancing the development of stage technology through conversions, developments and new lighting concepts. It was probably during this period that the impulse for the systematic collection of technical theatre objects was given, which could be closely linked to the work and interests of Fritz Brandt.
