Broederhaat, of Het Einde van Een Booswicht ("Brotherly hate, or the end of a criminal") is a tragedy in six acts by A.P. Herholdt (fl 1870s)

The original text

Described as a "tragedy in six acts" by Bosman (1980), with the author unknown. Koch however, citing Stassen (1957, p.113) argues that it was written for Aurora II by Heroldt, who had probably been a local member of the society.
