FILED - 07 March 1997, Hamburg: The then director of Hamburg's Thalia Theater, Jürgen Flimm, stands in front of the State Theater, which is wrapped in huge plastic sheets, on 07.o3.1997. Flimm had organized a fundraising campaign that was unique in Germany and thus made the current restoration of the building possible. It ran on credit. The city had only made money available from 1999 - too late for restoration, as the building would have fallen into disrepair in the meantime. The director and artistic director Jürgen Flimm is dead.
