This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.170.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 July 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Konrad Ekhof''' (12 August 1720 in [[Hamburg]], [[Germany]] – 16 June 1778) was a German [[actor]], often regarded as the foremost actor of German-speaking Europe in the 18th century. He was noted for his collaboration with the theatre principal [[Abel Seyler]] in the 1760s and 1770s, first at the [[Hamburg National Theatre]] and then at the travelling [[Seyler Theatre Company]].

==Life==
In 1739, he became a member of [[Johann Friedrich Schönemann]]'s (1704–1782) company in [[Lüneburg]], and made his first appearance there on 15 January 1740 as Xiphares in [[Jean Racine|Racine]]'s ''[[Mithridate (Racine)|Mithridate]]''. 
From 1751, the Schönemann company performed mainly in Hamburg and at [[Schwerin]], where [[Christian Ludwig II, Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin|Christian Ludwig II]] of [[Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin|Mecklenburg-Schwerin]] made them comedians to the court.((sfn|Chisholm|1911))

During this period Ekhof founded a theatrical academy, which, though short-lived, was of great importance in helping to raise the standard of German acting and the status of German actors. In 1757, Ekhof left Schönemann to join [[Franz Schuch]]'s company in [[Gdańsk|Danzig]], but he soon returned to Hamburg, where, in conjunction with two other actors, he succeeded Schönemann in the direction of the company. 
He resigned this position, however, in favor of [[H. G. Koch]], with whom he acted until 1764, when he joined [[Konrad Ernst Ackermann|K. E. Ackermann]]'s company. In 1767, the [[Hamburg National Theatre]] or the Hamburgische Entreprise was founded, backed by [[Abel Seyler]] and a group of merchants, and was made famous by [[Gotthold Ephraim Lessing|Lessing]]'s ''[[Hamburgische Dramaturgie]]''. Ekhof was the leading member of the company. After the failure of the enterprise Ekhof was persuaded to join its successor, the travelling [[Seyler Theatre Company]], and performed at the court in Weimar with the Seyler company for some time. He ultimately became co-director of the new court theatre at [[Gotha (town)|Gotha]]. This, the first permanently established theatre in Germany, was opened on 2 October 1775. Ekhof's reputation was now at its height; [[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe|Goethe]] called him the only German tragic actor; and in 1777 he acted with Goethe and [[Karl August, Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach|Duke Charles Augustus]] at a private performance at [[Weimar]], dining afterward with the poet at the ducal table.((sfn|Chisholm|1911))

His versatility may be judged from the fact that in the comedies of [[Carlo Goldoni|Goldoni]] and [[Molière]] he was no less successful than in the tragedies of [[Gotthold Ephraim Lessing|Lessing]] and [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]]. He was regarded by his contemporaries as an unsurpassed exponent of naturalness on the stage; and in this respect he has been not unfairly compared with [[David Garrick|Garrick]]. His fame, however, was rapidly eclipsed by that of [[Friedrich Ludwig Schröder|Friedrich Schröder]]. His literary efforts were chiefly confined to translations from French authors.((sfn|Chisholm|1911))
