The number of Wagner web sites has increased tremendously lately. This list will therefore not be complete or very reliable! You might consider using a search engine or a directory. In this list, small sites with little real contents (eg only well-known links) will not be included. If you own or know about a web site related to Wagner, please e-mail the author!
