Waiting for Godot
.
He provided
instructions that a stiletto be placed in his heart and that he be buried in a steel coffin
so that his corpse would not be riddled with worms. He also left a will giving the
proceeds of his various
works to particular mistresses, including Elisabeth
Hauptmann and Ruth Berlau. Unfortunately for them, the
will lacked the necessary
witness signatures and was therefore void. His widow,
Helen Wiegel, generously
gave small amounts of money to the specified women.
Brecht is buried in the
Dorotheenfriedhof in Berlin.
