Services

Wolff is one of the so-called slug disk seals . This term was first used by Paul Heyse in 1884 to characterize contemporary poets who wrote antiquated verse narratives in a pleasing manner about historical subjects and legends and thus made a living. In addition to rhyming stories, Wolff's literary work also includes fiction-like prose, as can be seen from the subtitles of his works.
