Deutsches Theater-Lexikon

The Deutsche Theater-Lexikon is a "biography and bibliography manual" according to its subtitle. 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]
