Abstract
On a beautiful summer afternoon, on an outdoor theatre stage somewhere in Germany, a Mescalero Apache and a white frontiersman fall into each other’s arms exclaiming: “My brother!”— “My brother!” Winnetou, the Apache, and Old Shatterhand, the frontiersman, who speak these words, are blood brothers and one of the best-known pairs of male friends in German culture since the turn of the twentieth century. One can often see the two characters greet like this in the plays performed at over a dozen contemporary Karl May festivals in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland every summer.
