On March 17, 1804, in Weimar, the celebrated premiere of "Wilhelm Tell" lasted for five and a half hours. It is the last completed play by Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805). The piece describes the vision of a replacement of the nobility by a bourgeois-democratic society. It takes up the story of the legendary Swiss national hero William Tell (around 1300), whose deeds are said to have led decisively to the founding of the Confederation. In the most famous scene in Schiller's drama, Tell has to shoot an apple from his son's head with a bow. »William Tell« is still a fixed theater repertoire and is part of most of the school's reading plans.
