| biography:
| Writer, born in Aachen, W Germany. His play Der Sohn (1914), with its theme of the conflict between father and son, became a manifesto of Expressionist literature and a symbol for the young. His popular work was frequently performed during the 1920s and includes the anti-war plays Das Retter (1915) and Antigone (1917). He later wrote comedies such as Ein besserer Herr (1927), Ehen werden im Himmel geschlossen (1928), and Spiel vom Sterben des Lügenbarons Münchhausen (1934). |
