Galgenlieder nebst dem 'Gingganz' by Christian Morgenstern
"Galgenlieder nebst dem 'Gingganz'" by Christian Morgenstern is a poetry collection first published in March 1905. These playful, experimental poems began as private performances among eight friends who called themselves the "Galgenbrüder" during outings near Potsdam. Morgenstern creates whimsical language games and grotesque verses that appear childlike but contain deeper meanings. The poems push linguistic boundaries—one consists entirely of metrical symbols, another builds architecture from the space between fence slats. Originally never
intended for publication, these works established Morgenstern's literary reputation and continue inspiring scientific jokes and musical adaptations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
