Bamberg poets' circle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bamberg Poets' Circle was an annual meeting between 1936 and 1943 of writers mainly of National Socialist sentiments. The group of poets was dedicated to a national socialist, popular literature. The work of individual landscape writers should be bundled as the expression “truly German literature”.

The daily newspaper Leipziger Latest Nachrichten had the idea of sending eight writers on a trip to Bavaria in May 1936, the “Poet's Caravan”. The trip was organized by Bavarian transport associations. At the Bamberg stop, the authors said they would continue this trip as an annual meeting. This is how the “Bamberg Poets Circle” was created under the patronage of Bamberg's Lord Mayor Lorenz Zahneisen .
