content

September 15, 1931 on the edge of the Gobi : The two German researchers Dr. Ludwig Krämer and Bernhard Godemann on the Mongolian river Edsin-gol. While Bernhard is just doing research work - to do this, he marches about ten kilometers along the Edsin-gol river and back to measure the precipitation - Ludwig has a bad dream in the tent: he put a bottle of poisoned drinking water in Bernhard's backpack. The reason for the attempted murder: If a survival ration is occasionally thrown from the supply plane, there is usually a pack of letters from Maria for Bernhard. Ludwig grudges Bernhard's luck. Ludwig wants Maria's love. That's why Bernhard has to go.

Bernhard returns alive from his march. When Ludwig tells him about his dream, Bernhard is amazed at the colleague's “obsessions” after spending two years on the edge of the desert.

The plane flies to the area around the tent. Charge is dropped. Bernhard receives a pack of letters from Maria. Again, there is nothing for Ludwig.

shape

Günter Eich essentially calls his radio play a monologue by Ludwig. In this dream the voices of the others (Bernhard, Maria, commissioner, chairman, church choir) appear, but it remains a self-talk by the protagonist.

The audio piece is divided into three scenes. During the first scene the listener must really assume that Ludwig gave Bernhard poisoned water. Because facts relating to the research expedition indicate a tangible real level. During the course of the second scene, which turns out to be a dream sequence, the murder attempt seems a little unlikely to the listener (for example Bernhard appears in Berlin as a newspaper seller, waiter, accused and pastor), but still possible - with the good will of the listener. In scene three, the day-to-day expedition overtakes the dreamer. Disillusioned, he doesn't want to be a poisoner, but a good person. Dream scene two is not a pipe dream. Ludwig even fights for Mary's love before the bar of court. But the woman remains loyal to Bernhard at all times.

reception

  • A table of contents can be found in “ Reclam's radio play guide” on pages 173–174.
  • In his dissertation, Oppermann goes into more detail on the radio play and makes a statement on the form: Of the three scenes mentioned above, scene one and two reflected inner reality; more precisely, an inner monologue and a nightmare . Scene three contains a dialogue - that is, reflection on external reality. Oppermann calls that outside "game situation". And for each of the two figures, the interior disintegrates into its conscious and subconscious.
  • According to Alber, "Identity and human happiness" and Ludwig's "relationship to the absolute" will be discussed.
  • Martin looks at Günter Eich's “dream pieces” - including the “dream at Edsin-gol” - from the perspective of Freud's “ Interpretation of Dreams ”.
