in litereature it's quite practical to use 'German' for 'writing in German'. The term 'German' is quite vague anyway and the existence of the Federal Republic of Germany doesn't justify to only call German what's been born in its borders.
I think Hesse is missing in the chart. E.T.A. Hoffmann is a great writer, he's a bit like a German E.A. Poe, and he was a composer, too.
>>8979455
>Brecht
kys
>>8982421
got em
might put the names/birth-death dates on them in a min
>>8982421
Hoffmann is already in the chart
>>8979000
the German spirit is too complected and removed from the real world to really create good literature. It's more suited for music and philosophy
workin on the naming now
idk if i should include all of them
are there any on here that are not chart-worthy
i kinda want some tiers too but not sure how to go about it
>>8982603
i'm thinkin maybe organizing it by enlightenment
counter-enlightenment
romanticism
modernism
stuff like that
then the minor figures can have names only but no pics
not sure where someone like nietzsche would go though
>>8979278
How the hell did you even know what Wolff looked like?
okay here's what i have so far
they're in order of birth
added some more, done for tonight
>>8979000
Oswald Spengler
>>8979000
hesse you fucking faggot
>>8983762
might do something like that soon
if so i'll post it
>>8983782
have around 92 people on here now
would like to have a top 100 german-lang writers chart
prob missing a good bit still
>>8983782
wow this is good, looks like good /lit/ is coming back
>>8983949
nah, i'm just posting without my tripcode
>>8983782
ernst junger you fucking faggot
Bumping so this good thread doesn't get lost to the archives.
>mfw everyone forgot about Georg Büchner
>Kant
>good writer
kek
And where in the fuck is Hölderlin?
>>8985247
Ah, the "Büchner is a forgotten darling" meme.
His plays fucking suck.
think i have most of romantic period now
don't think i'm missing any big philosophers either
unless you count logical positivist crap
>>8986224
If Buber is in so should Rosenzweig
Freud if you include austrians.
>>8986291
Also Hesse
>>8985257
he's a impressive person, though. Doktor of human medicine at the age of 23 and college teacher having already written three plays
Wagner wrote prose with a certain impact, but it's illegible in my opinion. Are Juenger, Borchert and Remarque on the chart? Also Ludwig Thoma should be included, only Bavarian writer of significance and huge influence on the early Hitler
Arno Schmidt
>>8985257
>His plays fucking suck
you gotta read Lenz tho, it's the only text by Büchner I actually enjoy
Please don't forget me.
>>8979000
Mein.
>>8986232
>>8986304
>>8987429
rosenzweig, borchert, wagner added
the other suggestions were already there
should i add HITLER?
>>8987529
Jelinek, you also forgot Broch for this image
Franz Brentano looks patrician as fuck
Byung Chul-Han.
German language author
>>8987529
Jesus Christ, Germans really are the above normal europeans
>>8987529
MASTER RACE
The two sons from T. Mann are missing. Both great writers
>>8987656
Go to bed fatherdubs.
>>8982603
Look at Lessing
Look at Marx
The hand hidden in the sweater is a Masonic hand symbol, sign language used for recognition by fellow Masons
Christa Wolf can't be missing here.
Also where the fuck is Musil, where is von Doderer? Where is Canetti? Where is Gotthelf? Jelinek? So many more names. This list is incomplete as fuck.
>>8990208
Uhland is missing too
>>8979455
I don't know if Wittgenstein would be considered a good writer; he himself admitted that he was unable to properly express his ideas using language. The style of his published work is very dry and mechanical (as it is with most analytic philosophers of the time). A very good philosopher — but his writing is largely ineffective and clumsy, and un-Wittgensteinian.
