Ask a real German questions.

Ask a real German questions and I will answer on here.

Keep in mind, I will NOT answer questions I find to be toxic, provocative or just plain and simple silly.

Don't you mean was Austrian. Don't forget that he decided to leave this world due to the Russians moving in on Berlin.

Actually he became a German citizen.

You missed the point. The key word is leave.

2 questions, if that's alright:

Are modern Germans familiar with, and fond of, the 19th century Prussian literary masterpiece known as The Life and Opinions of the Tomcat Murr?

Are there any Germans as bitter as I am that the original Gumpert Apollo was discontinued?

No.

And I have not heard of Gumpert Apollo either.

That's a shame, oh well

Any particular reason for that? It's such a great book and was so innovative and creative for its time, and let me not forget to mention it was written by the famous German author Ernst Hoffmann. I would think it would at least get a passing mention at some point when Germans are going through their schooling, no?

I do read quite a lot, but I have never heard of it. Even though I have a huge library in my basement, consisting of thousands of books, many being hundreds of years old already.

Its some comedic stuff that has no relevance to German literature.

Hoffmann is not famous.

theres a lot of competition and schools usually touch only 2-4books during their time since the common interest in older literature is very low and in many places the local government usually decides which kind of books are mandatory
hoffmann while well known is a rarer pick and mainly relevant for older generations where old german philosphy had higher value.. in actual literature classes u will surely encounter him but outside hes usually only known by name
