  Abstract:  Lessing and the Custom of Children-Theatre in the 18th Century. Lessing`s attitude toward children-theatre and ballett-schools of the 18th century seems to be bivalent. On one hand Lessing writes in a fictitious letter from 1753 very critical about the children-dumbshows of Philipp Nicolini, that he had seen in Leipzig. On the other hand, in 1776, he proposes the foundation of a theatre-school in Viena, a suggestion that was written down in the memoirs of Johann Heinrich Friedrich Müller, a Viennese actor. The study tries to clear this apparent contradiction in Lessing’s overview on the children-theatre of the 18th century.
