Der Eckensteher Nante im Verhör (loosely translated: "the town porter Nante in court") is a comical scene ("Komische Scene") by Friedrich Beckmann (1803-1866)[1].

Also described as a "Lokal-posse" it was first performed in Berlin at the Konigstadter-Theater in 1833, with Beckmann himself playing one of the roles. The text published in Berlin by August Rüder in the same year. (The eight editions appearing in 1833).
Translations and adaptations
Freely translated into Dutch as Hans de Kruyer in 't Verhoor ("Hans the porter court") and described as "eene kluchtige scène uit het stadsleven" ("a farcical scene from city life"), by S. Schoonhoven and W.N. van Nooten. The text was published in Alkmaar by Joh. Roem in 1847.
