Herbert Baumann
Herbert Baumann (31 July 1925 – 21 January 2020) was a German composer and conductor. His compositions were mainly for theatre and film, at theatres in Berlin and Munich, such as ballet music for ''Alice im Wunderland'' and ''Rumpelstilzchen''. Life Baumann was born in Berlin and began to study architecture, as his father wished. He studied conducting at the same time with Sergiu Celibidache, who was serving his first season with the Berlin Philharmonic. Baumann turned completely to music. He composed a piece as a conducting exercise that impressed Celibidache, who showed it to Paul Höffer, a composition professor. Baumann then studied composition with Höffer at the Internationales Musikinstitut in Berlin, and after Höffer's death with Boris Blacher. He worked as leader of the stage music for the Waldsee open air stage. At age 22, he was recommended by Höffer as director of stage music at the Deutsches Theater (Berlin), Deutsches Theater in Berlin, a position that he hel ...

Weimar Republic
The Weimar Republic (german: link=no, Weimarer Republik ), officially named the German Reich, was the government of Germany from 1918 to 1933, during which it was a constitutional federal republic for the first time in history; hence it is also referred to, and unofficially proclaimed itself, as the German Republic (german: Deutsche Republik, link=no, label=none). The state's informal name is derived from the city of Weimar, which hosted the constituent assembly that established its government. In English, the republic was usually simply called "Germany", with "Weimar Republic" (a term introduced by Adolf Hitler in 1929) not commonly used until the 1930s. Following the devastation of the First World War (1914–1918), Germany was exhausted and sued for peace in desperate circumstances. Awareness of imminent defeat sparked a revolution, the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II, formal surrender to the Allies, and the proclamation of the Weimar Republic on 9 November 1918. In its i ...
