"Jedermann: Das Spiel vom Sterben des reichen Mannes" by Hugo von Hofmannsthal is a theatrical play first performed in 1911. A wealthy man lives without concern for God or his fellow humans, hoarding riches and ignoring the poor.

Only through discovering faith and recognizing his good deeds can he hope for salvation from an uncertain fate. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
