The costume set here presented is from the Oldenburger State Theatre and consists of the Grand Duchess Caecilie of Oldenburgs (1807-1844) original, so-called Courschleppe, a silk dress made on occasion of a theatre play in 1991/92 and a camisole separately sewn on the train. In the 1950s, the train came to the costume fund of the Oldenburg State Theater. It originally belonged to the actress Annemaria Korf, who is said to have received it from a member of the ducal family. The actress and singer Elisabeth-Maria Wachutka wore the train in her role as Anna Elisa in the operetta "Paganini" after the music of Franz Lehar, which was performed in the 1991/92 season in the State Theatre. The silk dress as well as the bodice sewn to the train (each equipped with material of the older stock) was made on this occasion.
