Being both, a demand as well as a chance of the present age of information technology for cultural preservation and continuation, public databases possess an immense importance for providing a comprehensive access to cultural material as far as their contents and also their clientele of users are concerned. Therefore, an exemplary completely preserved stock of primary sources as the one of the Weimar theatre is no less than an invaluable piece of luck, possibly just due to the manageable local conditions of this small (former courtly) town in the middle of German language area. In this English version, first this rare cultural-historical phenomenon and its sources are described. Furthermore, the data- and metadata-contents within the Weimar theatre- and music-ephemera database are presented. Finally, the principal opportunities of searching this (meta-)data pool are explained, where presumed to be necessary supported by screenshot images from the internet platform.

作为信息时代文化保存与传承的双重需求与机遇，公共数据库在提供全面访问文化资料方面具有举足轻重的地位，其内容与用户群体皆然。因此，如同魏玛剧院所拥有的这一完整保存的原始资料库，实乃无价之宝，或许仅因这地处德语区腹地、昔日宫廷小镇的局部条件尚可管理。在本英文版本中，首先对这一罕见的文化历史现象及其来源进行描述。此外，魏玛剧院与音乐文献数据库中的数据与元数据内容亦将呈现。最后，将解释搜索这一（元）数据池的主要机会，必要时辅以互联网平台上的截图图像。
