Summary/Abstract: In the present work, I will concentrate on the Lehrstück by Bertolt Brecht, emphasizing the Lehrstück Badener Lehrstück on consent. My work is mainly oriented towards the topicality of this work in terms of the subject matter and its adaptation in a pedagogical context, i.e. the practical use in a possible teaching sequence. Brecht composed “The Lessons” as short dramatic texts, which are always written with a reference to the music or to a possible musical representation on stage. It is not just the reading of the text that is relevant, but also the playful and critical examination of the text. As different as possible conditions for the representation of the teaching pieces on a stage are in the foreground, while the music has an additional function in the texts. So he proceeded experimentally with “The Lessons”, being guided by the question of the social position and the function of art-producing media.
