| − | ("Brotherly strife, or The reconciliation") A German play in five acts ("Ein Schauspiel in Funf Akten") by August von Kotzebue (1761 – 1819). Also known simply as ''[[Die Versöhnung]]'' ("The Reconciliation"), though better known under the longer title. There appear to be two plays called ''[[Die Versöhnung]]'' in German, this one by August von Kotzebue (1798) and another by Andreas Josef von Guttenberg (1800), both apparently written in Vienna at approximately the same time, though they are clearly different plays.
