The Berlin performances of the play later that year achieved great success; (Bertolt Brecht later adapted the play in his "Kaukasischer Kreidekreis" (The Caucasian Chalk Circle)).

The play became first known in the Western world in a French language translation by Stanislas Julien, published in London in 1832 as "Le Cercle de Craie". This was liberally re-translated into German by Klabund as "Der Kreidekreis" in 1924, which was very popular. In Klabund's version, the Emperor marries the heroine at the end of the play, while in the original she returns to live with her brother, who is now a court official.
