[2] At the beginning of the 20th century he was already a prominent figure in Peine, when the Peiner Zeitung, on the occasion of the festive assembly for the inauguration of the new synagogue on August 30, 1907, explicitly named senior teacher Finger "from the higher girls' school" as the only representative of the bourgeoisie.
He initiated the establishment of a style stage in the hall of the German House, for which the ensemble of the Braunschweig State Theater was engaged to guest performances.
[1] Finger's request for a guest performance by the Hanoverian court actress Anna Meyer-Glenk in 1921, in connection with the public education office, finally led to the building for the ensemble of the town's theater Peiner Festsäle.
[5] After the National Socialists took power in early 1933, Finger was not only able to assert himself as one of the central figures in the cultural life of the city, but was even able to establish an almost monopoly position.
[10] A photograph of the handover of the city to the commander Captain Grundmann was taken, which also showed the interpreter Hans-Michael Finger, the provisional district administrator Max Heinemann, the mayor of Bronleewe and the hospital director Heinrich Meyeringh and later ended up in the archive of the military historian Karl-Heinz Heineke.
