From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Ludwig Thoma (January 21, 1867 - August 26, 1921) was a German author, publisher and editor, who gained popularity through his partially exaggerated description of Bavarian workaday.
After graduation from school, the Imperial Latin School in Landstuhl (today: Sickingen- Gymnasium Landstuhl), he first studied Forestry in Aschaffenburg, then Law until 1893 in München and Erlangen. Subsequently, he settled down as a lawyer, at first in Dachau, later in Munich.
After 1899, he worked with the Simplicissimus and published humorous narrations, comedies, novels and stories.
Originally pacifist, he changed his political attitudes towards the end of his life and drew up even anti-semitic texts (e.g. for the newspaper "Miesbacher Anzeiger"). During World War I he served as a paramedic.
His best known works are Münchner im Himmel (A Municher in heaven), the Lausbubengeschichten (Brat stories) and Jozef Filsers Briefwexel (Jozef Filser's Corespontens).
