Der Komödienstadel - Der Prinzregentenhirsch
The play is set in the time of our Prince Regent Luitpold, who years ago went hunting with the dignitaries of the community of Gombach.

To commemorate this hunting trip, the people of Gombach celebrate an annual festival at which the Prince Regent's target is shot.
