Oskar Panizza (born November 12, 1853 in Kissingen; † September 28, 1921 in Bayreuth) was a German doctor, writer, satirist and publicist. In his writings Panizza attacked the Wilhelmine state, the Catholic Church, sexual taboos and bourgeois morals. Panizza's main work is the satirical drama The Love Council , published in 1894 - an anti-Catholic grotesque unprecedented in literary history. His bizarre stories, in which he combined realism and fantasy, are also important. Panizza was badly affected by the censorship and was punished by the judiciary for its literary works. Almost all of his books were banned and confiscated shortly after their publication. His family refused to release the copyrights after his death. A reception of his works could only begin in the late 1960s. - To the article ...
