From 1932 to 1953 he was the archivist of Richard and Cosima Wagner´s archive. He published several studies on Wagner´s creative process and he edited the correspondence between Wagner and Ludwig II. After his death in 1953 Getrud managed the archive until 1976. Related persons • wrote about Wagner, Richard |
