The Berlin triumph was equivocal, being the triumph not so much of Schiller as of one Pluemicke, who took high-handed liberties with the original text and made it over, in both language and thought, so as to suit the taste of the Berlin actors.
This northern version, thus diluted with the water of the Spree, was presently published by the enterprising pirate, Himburg, and proved a formidable rival of the genuine edition. The play was tried at several theaters and with various endings, curiously enough Pluemicke made Fiesco commit suicide in the moment of his triumph, but it never became really popular.
