The Deutsches Theater remembers him as a discoverer, a patron, and a collegial theater director. Many people at our theater are deeply grateful to Bernd Wilms.
"Stay a while"—Faust's appeal to life—was inscribed above his theater doors. Bernd Wilms passed away on January 21 at the age of 85. [Link to full obituary]
