by Georg Heym

Georg Heym gilt als einer der wichtigsten Lyriker des frühen literarischen Expressionismus. In seinen Gedichten verarbeitet er die in jener Zeit spürbare Angst vor Krieg und Naturkatastrophen, bis hin zu Weltuntergangsstimmungen. Seine Werke zeichnen sich durch eine stark expressive Sprache und ein melancholisches, düsteres Bild der modernen Welt aus. Heym war fasziniert von der Stadt und ihren Gegensätzen, der Schönheit und Hässlichkeit, der Euphorie und der Verzweiflung. Er schrieb Gedichte über den Alltag in der Metropole, über die Angst vor dem Krieg und die Bedrohung durch die Naturgewalten. In seinen Werken spiegelt sich die allgemeine Stimmung des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts wider, geprägt von Krieg und Umbruch, von Euphorie und Verzweiflung.
