Hans Fallada

The real name of the writer Hans Fallada was Rudolf Ditzen. The pseudonym combines the main character from the fairy tale ‘Hans im Glück’ (Hans in Luck) and the horse from ‘Die Gänsemagd’ (The Goose Girl). Fallada is considered one of the most significant writers of the New Objectivity movement and the first half of the 20th century, but struggled with severe drug and alcohol problems. Despite this, he achieved international success in 1932 with ‘Kleiner Mann - was nun?’ (Little Man, What Now?). The story of Pinneberg and his wife reflects the life of a bookkeeper at the end of the Weimar Republic. Fallada's constant social criticism made his work difficult under the Nazi regime – the author died in 1947 in the psychiatric ward of the Charité in Berlin.
