| biography:
| Writer, born in Bad Tölz, S Germany. He served as a doctor during World War 1, and became president of the Europäische Schriftsteller Vereinigung founded by Goebbels in 1941. His earlier work was influenced by Rilke, the later by Goethe and Stifter. Much of his writing is autobiographical and contains strong elements of Christian humanism, such as Der Tag des jungen Arztes (1955). Some works, such as Eine Kindheit (1922), feature the first 10 years in the life of a Bavarian doctor's son. During the Third Reich he considered himself to be one of the representatives of the ‘innere Emigration’ (inner emigration). He also wrote poetry. |
