First literary Works<\/h2>\n

Brecht started school in 1904 and was anything but a model pupil. Later he was known as the \u201cliterature expert\u201d amongst his fellow pupils. His first literary project was a magazine for pupils called “The Harvest”. Brecht wasn\u2019t just the editor but also the author of most contributions. Six editions of the magazine appeared in total, one of which you can see in the display cabinet.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

First Publications<\/h2>\n

Brecht\u2019s first real publications appeared in two Augsburg dailies after World War I broke out. Initially, these texts may seem quite nationalistic. Yet, it quickly becomes clear that Brecht simply wrote them like this because it was the only way for him to get his own texts printed in a paper. Brecht increasingly rejected the war, which becomes particularly evident in a school essay he wrote about a verse by Horace:<\/p>\n

\u201eDulce et decorum est pro patria mori\u201c
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\u201cIt is sweet and honourable to die for the fatherland.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He took a very critical stance towards the war and this brought him close to being expelled from school in 1916. However, one teacher (whom you can see in the photo here) stood up for him. Brecht ended up only being given a minor reprimand in his school report.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Early Loves<\/h2>\n

Brecht fell in love several times here in Augsburg. His first great love, and the mother of his first son, was Paula Banholzer. For her 18th birthday, he gave her a silver bracelet which is also on display here. You can see a picture of Paula with Brecht, too. Another great love of his \u2013 also in Augsburg \u2013 was Rosa Maria Amann. His famous poem, Remembering Marie A., was dedicated to her. (As part of this tour, you can listen to the poem being sung).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Brecht’s Clique<\/h2>\n

Around 1916, a famous Augsburg circle of friends formed around Brecht and this clique made music and wrote poetry \u2013 and provocative texts, too. Brecht would roam Augsburg\u2019s historic city centre with his friends, going to bars and trying to attract as much attention as possible.<\/p>\n

Brecht\u2019s mother fell ill at a very young age, making it necessary for her to have a room of her own. All the original furnishings of that room are on display here in this room.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
