poet

Ludwig Hartmann's interest in dialect poetry in the Palatinate language was triggered by reading the dialect poets Karl Christian Nadler and Karl August Woll .

In 1914 his first work was published, the volume of poems Pälzer Schternschnuppe , which was published in six editions by 1926. His first work was followed by six more books by 1958, which also contained smaller prose texts. Some of the volumes also contained short texts in High German. The most famous piece is De Unkel from America .

In 1920 his richly illustrated work Kinnersprich vum Ludewig (new edition 2005) was published for children, of which 4000 copies were sold within four weeks.

In 1925/1926 he was in charge of the two-volume Palatinate anthology Pälzer Ausles .
